You can use most electric shavers every day — or even more often if you have a Homer Simpson-like 5 o’clock shadow — and it’s not going to get any smarter. The Philips Norelco Shaver i9000 uses its SenseIQ technology to read your face’s hair density 500 times per second and adjusts to it on the fly. That’s a big brain for an electric shaver, and it comes at an appreciably smaller price for Prime Day — just $150 at Amazon.
That sensor-driven adaptive system drives the i9000 close to the head of the impressive Philips Norelco lineup. The i9000 combines brains and brawn to power through dense beards with ease, while many of the competing models stall. And as any man can tell you, when an electric shaver stalls, it can sting.

Built for Hard-to-Shave Areas
The i9000’s flexible compact heads are designed to maintain constant skin contact around the curves that flat shaving heads lose contact with. Philips claims 20% more precision in those tricky areas — think neck, under the chin, and under the nose — compared to previous designs, which is the kind of gain that matters more than headline cutting speed for most users. The Triple Lift & Cut system lifts hairs before cutting, which is the mechanism behind close-shave performance on shorter growth; paired with the 360-degree rotating Dual SteelPrecision blades running 7 million cutting motions per minute, the head covers a lot per pass.
