Philishave HQ8870

From £150 to £75 in Boots. Also if you buy on 10% off night - usually 1 every week now until Xmas you save even more. Cheapest I could find on WWW £116.

I was lucky to have a 10% off voucher which came off the original price plus tripple points ;D

    Just ordered for hubby's xmas pressie with triple points and 10% off (code is HBST25 - only works on orders over £50 I think). Also went through rpoints and got another 2.5% off. So £150 shaver for £56 when all discounts considered. Not even ebay can compete with that.

    Hurry though as triple points ends today (Monday 6th).

    Thanks to OP - great spot.
  • me too :) thank you

    mind you, I couldn't wait to tell him how much money I saved, and he said....ah well you can get me something else then!
    ;D
    I started off with nothing and I've still got most of it left.

    Sorry to change the subject slightly, but I posted this question somewhere else and no-one is talking to me. :'(

    This Philishave is a rotary thingy and I also saw on the site some foil thingys........can anyone give me an opinion as to which would be best for a lad who's about to start shaving?

    I notice the Philishave is suitable for sensitive skin, which is a good thing but I don't know if I'd be better with this or a foil type?

    ANY advice welcomed. Thanks peeps.

  • I'd imagine you'd be better off with the Philishave, primarily because it is sold as suitable for sensitive and also my husband said that on no account to buy him a foil shaver as they were hopeless in comparison to the rotary style Philishaves


    (btw I didnt have an Advantage card, but this nice man contactible through the contact phone no. on Boots site, set one up for me and gave me an advantage card number instantly, and there were 900 points credited on that shaver transaction)

    Agreed. Go for rotary, it beats foil type hands down, or duck down if you've just started. (Only kidding m8) Philips have been making the best for decades

    Lol! I've just re-read my post and it does sound a bit as though it was me who was about to start shaving.

    Anyway, thanks for the input and advice. I've ordered one of these from the Boots site for my son.

    He gets the fuzz free face and I ge the extra points. ;D

  • Have been very amused by Aliasojo ;D ;D

    Never had a electric saver before as I struggle with those darn neck hairs that dont budge easy :o . Have made the plunge as I reckon if this cant shift em then nowt can ;)

    Cheers for the initial post ;D
    Nice to save.

    Was going to get one myself but it clearly wouldn't fit in my ears or nostrils which is about the only parts that need shaving these days
