GroomTribe Styling and Shaving 4+

Have had many electric razors in my 58 years of living and I can confidently say that this razor / groomer is by far the best I’ve ever used . shave time , my shave times are so short now because this razor gets it on the first pass . This is the John Deere of razors in my humble opinion. You can buy any electric razor but in the end, you’ll end up paying the 100$ I paid for this one. Guaranteed.

Hi there, thank you for taking the time to share your positive feedback. We appreciate it and are so glad to hear that you're loving your shaver! We recommend downloading the GroomTribe app if you haven't already, to enhance your shaving experience even more. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to let us know.

This app harasses you repeatedly to give Philips personal information about you so they can sell your data. Why on earth would an electric shaver need to track your location? It helps companies Adobe and Google build a profile of who you are, where you go, what you do, and when. The shave feedback is useless. It measures how much of the time the shaver thinks you were moving in a circular motion and if it’s 59% or lower it tells you’re doing a bad job. It’s an arbitrary number that has nothing to do with the quality of your shave… but it’s there to gaslight you so you’ll think you need their tracking app to teach you. Download it once, give them zero personal data, then go to settings and turn off the shaving feedback feature so the shaver will stop showing you the useless feedback icon. Then delete the app and leave Philips a 1-star review. As long as they think consumers believe this nonsense, they’ll keep pushing it and selling us out.

I’m wondering if Norelco reads the reviews regarding and feedbacks, Norelco is designing something that unnecessarily complicated instead of being easier to use. It’s S9000 has the worse side burner trimmer has ever been design by norelco, the head blade is bigger than older 9000 series harder to get to the spot to make the perfect shave, the app it just tells you that you’re shaving bad and what is it useful for God knows it doesn’t tell you when was shaver last fully charged to figure out for how long the battery charge lasts, I still have my 1290x with old head blade still is smoother and shave better than this one. I hope one day Norelco starts listening to the customers feedback and listening to their reviews.
