The Philips Norelco i9000 Prestige Ultra Day & Night is a Rolls-Royce of a rotary shaver, reflected in its astronomical list price — fitting given a tie-in with sci-fi film Project Hail Mary. A comfortable shave, active pressure and motion guidance, a useful LED feedback ring, a world-first UV cleaning charger and a generous accessory bundle justify its flagship status, but the price could still bring it back down to Earth.

Pros

  • +Excellent contour tracking
  • +LED pressure ring is genuinely useful
  • +Comfortable on sensitive areas
  • +Premium accessories and cleaning system
  • +Fantastic build quality

Cons

  • -Tie-in adds little beyond presentation
  • -Cleaning cartridges add ongoing cost
  • -Foil shavers arguably closer
  • -App features won’t appeal to everyone
