Full Review of the Philips AquaTouch AT750 Shaver
Let’s face it, the Philips AquaTouch AT750 is by no means a state of the art electric shaver and in reality, it pales in comparison to the Panasonic ES-LV61 and ES-LV81. But on the plus side, it does what it says on the tin and has a few built in characteristics and extras that help to improve its overall ranking.
Affordable, Affordable, Affordable
I am not usually one to put price above performance but I have to be honest, the AquaTouch is so very affordable that it would be silly not emphasize this. In fact, it is so affordable that it could be useful as a travel shaver, a spare shaver or even as a dry shaver for those days that you just don’t have time for a wet shave.
Salient Features
The Philips AquaTouch AT750 is very quiet and because it makes use of a modern rotary blade system, it does not vibrate when in use.
As the name would suggest, the AquaTouch AT750 is both a wet and dry shaver so it can be used with shaving foam, in the shower (it is waterproof and cordless) and as a dry shaver. Philips have equipped this shaver with low-friction heads that are ultra thin, allowing for a smooth and easy shave that catches long and short hair. Of course the performance will vary according to thickness and coverage of hair but in my case, the AquaTouch gave a pretty close shave overall. The best shave was with gel (which is usually the case with electric shavers) but all in all I was quite impressed.
The contour response system allows the shaver to easily glide over your jaw and neck, minimizing the threat of skin irritation through unnecessary tugging.
One of the highlights of the Aquatouch is the quick charging times. An hour’s charge would completely charge the battery and offer you a little shy of 55 minutes of cordless power which adds up to about 15 shaves. However, smart power-management technology means the shaver can quick-charge in only 3 minutes for a quick shave.
Extra bits and pieces
Apart from delivering a perfectly respectable shave, the Philips AquaTouch comes with a few extra bits and pieces such as a cleaning brush, protection cap and the most noteworthy of all, the shower hanger pouch. It really is a very simple design, in principle it is a wetsuit for your shaver with a little cord at the top that can be hung around the tap. It is quite clever really as your shaver is always ready and waiting.
Needless to say the AquaTouch comes with a pop-up trimmer which is not the greatest but will get the job done. It does tug a little so go gently.
The verdict
As I am sure you can tell by now, I am not overly enthused over the Philips AquaTouch AT750 but on the same token it really has given me no good reason to dislike it. On the one hand, it delivers a good shave both wet and dry and on the other hand, it is so cost-effective that it would almost be silly not to get one.

I am really pleased with the AT750 razor. I normally don’t use electric razors since they don’t really get the job done since they tend not to cut close enough. The only problem is that my wet shaver often leaves cut marks when I am going to work in the morning.
I use this razor in the shower and do most of my shaving then. I finish off with a disposable blade. Overall I am really please with the quality of job the Philips Aqua Touch AT 750 does.
