Top electric shaver manufacturer sets new standard with the SmartTouch-XL range

Creating an outstanding product is not only branding, marketing and hype. Philips has more than a century of experience in producing the world's best consumer electronics and 67 years of manufacturing electric shavers. Year after year, new models have proved their worth, but you just know that the top-of-the-range SmartTouch-XL HQ9190 is going to be something quite special.

Equally, you would expect the inventor of the rotary shaving system and world leader in shaving technology to put together something that will stand out on the shop shelf. Philips Shavers SmartTouch-XL is designed to give men the closest, smoothest and best shave possible, and this range has already set a new shaving standard.

As well as all the other features that have made Philips Shavers the shaver of choice, the SmartTouch-XL range provides a faster and closer shave and features two exceptional technological innovations.

Firstly, the SmartTouch Contour Following System has a suspension cushioning system that is a revolutionary innovation which allows the entire shaving head to move.

The cushions - highlighted in bright orange - allow the heads to tilt and adjust as one. It is the first Philips Shavers product to have this complete tri-pivoting action and allows the shaver to perfectly follow every contour of the face and neck.

Secondly, there is the Speed-XL shaving heads - the world's first triple-track system. These heads have up to 50 per cent more shaving surface for an efficient shave.
