Full Review of the Philips RQ1280 SensoTouch 3D

Here we are with the top of the range model in the SensoTouch 3D range; given the success of this range both from a commercial point of view and consumer satisfaction, the Philips RQ1280 SensoTouch 3D has an awful lot to live up to in terms of quality of shave, functionality, looks and overall quality of build.

The Philips RQ1280 has Great Build Quality

There are however no doubts about the aforementioned quality of build. The Philips RQ1280 SensoTouch 3D is a high quality piece of technology, ergonomically designed and durable. This model is finished in black chrome and really looks the part of an upper range shaver. This lightweight shaver fits ever so comfortably in your hand and is guided more by your fingers than your palm which gives extra precision during a shave. The shave stand does not have the chrome finish to match, but is also finished in black, as is the soft travel pouch provided.

The inbuilt LED display of the Philips RQ1280 SensoTouch 3D indicates three levels of battery power as well as whether the travel lock is on or off, charge status, and replacement shaving head indicator. The LED display also tells you how many minutes of shaving time are left.

Perfect Combination of Technologies

Many Philips technologies come together to provide the ideal combination of comfort and quality of shave. The Philips RQ1280 SensoTouch 3D uses the GyroFlex 3D pivoting head, designed to allow as much movement as possible of the shave head to maintain optimum contact between the rotary blades and your skin. At the same time, the patented Super Lift and Cut action lifts and cuts in two stages to raise flat lying hairs (on the neck especially) which are then cut clean by the rotary blades. As well as the shave heads of the Philips RQ1280 SensoTouch 3D being able to pivot in many directions, the rotary blades themselves are capable of flexing in and out individually, in order to adapt to the shape and curves of your face.

Different types of hairs need different types of blade shapes and formations to cut them efficiently; the Philips RQ1280 SensoTouch 3D addresses this situation by using three different tracks on each blade. The UltraTrack technology uses an innovative combination of slots, channels and holes to cut average length hairs, longer flat lying hairs, and the shortest of stubble in that order. To make the shave even more comfortable, the Philips RQ1280 SensoTouch 3D uses the SkinGlide finish to allow the blades to travel smoothly over your face causing minimum irritation.

Philips RQ1280 Works Brilliantly with Wet or Dry Shaving

The wet shave option of the Philips RQ1280 SensoTouch 3D works well by using the above technologies as well as the Aquatec seal. This seal means that despite the shaver not being completely waterproof, it is still possible to shave using a gel or foam on your wet face for added comfort if that is your preference.

Covered by a two-year guarantee, the Philips RQ1280 SensoTouch 3D is a great example of a well-designed, well-built electric razor which gives a comprehensive shave. When a series is this good, the top shaver in the range is really only ever going to be tweaked slightly to improve an already winning formula. All the shavers in this range are excellent, and the Philips RQ1280 SensoTouch 3D is simply a small step above the rest.
