Philips XP9402/31 Wet & Dry Electric Shaver, 60 min Runtime, Grey

Because the XP9402/31 is rated for both wet and dry use, you are not tied to one way of shaving. Use it dry for a quick tidy-up before heading out, or pair it with shaving foam or gel when your skin needs a little extra glide. You can also take it into the shower and fit your shave into your normal morning routine without needing a separate razor.

The built-in battery provides up to 60 minutes of shaving time on a single charge. For most men that covers a good number of daily shaves before the shaver needs to go back on charge, so you are not reaching for a cable every morning. A long runtime also means you can pack it for a weekend away and leave the charger at home.

Running on its battery, the shaver works without a power cord getting in the way. You can shave in front of any mirror, in the bathroom or in a hotel room, and move the head freely around your jawline and neck. Philips does not list the battery capacity or the charging time for this model.

The grey colourway gives the XP9402/31 a neutral, low-key appearance that sits easily on a bathroom shelf or in a wash bag. It suits anyone who prefers a functional grooming tool to a flashy one, and the colour helps you tell it apart from other Philips variants in the same range.

This shaver suits men who shave every day and want the flexibility to switch between wet and dry shaving depending on their skin and schedule. The 60-minute runtime and cordless use also make it a sensible companion for business trips, holidays and the gym bag, where a corded shaver or a disposable razor would be less convenient.

Since the XP9402/31 is designed for wet use, it is made to cope with a wet environment such as a shower or a sink. That means you can shave with water and foam without worrying about splashes, which makes it a convenient option if you prefer a wet shave but want the speed of an electric shaver.
