Shoppers looking for a simple way to keep facial hair in check can pick up a compact Philips electric shaver designed to deliver a close shave with minimal fuss. The Philips PQ206 Electric Shaver is now up for grabs at £19 on Argos, with one user calling it ‘ideal for holidays or weekends away’.

This shaver features floating rotary heads that follow the curves of the face, helping to provide a comfortably close finish when tackling everyday beard growth. Battery-powered and completely cordless, it’s a handy option for travelling, with up to 60 minutes of use from two AA batteries.

Its self-sharpening blades are designed to stay sharp for up to two years, while the washable heads make cleaning the shaver straightforward after use. The shaver also comes with a protective cap and cleaning brush, making it easy to keep everything clean and protected between uses.

Some people disagreed slightly, with one writing: “Great little shaver. Performs just as well as more expensive shavers and just as sharp. Very portable also. Going to get a second one to leave in the car for the times I’m in a rush. The only downside is that it can be sore on batteries so I’m going to get rechargeable ones.”
