I recently unearthed an old Philips electric razor that I had received as a Christmas gift aeons since. Although I’m accustomed to wet shaving these days, (I’m a committed Harry’s razor user FYI), curiosity nonetheless, drove me to give it a go.

The Philishave 5806, a bit rough and ready by modern standards, but still surprisingly effective on the more mature gentleman’s skin!
It certainly faced a challenge; it now had to deal with the physical fallout of middle-age and poor lifestyle choices, perils unimagined in its heyday.
Despite its age, the device handled the unfamiliar terrain admirably. Initial efforts produced a surprisingly smooth finish on the skin, albeit with the occasional scratch or two in areas of looser skin.
Note to self: Try it on my face at some point.
