    not really sure if i like this argos reserve system.

    loads of people obviously reserving and then never turning up to buy.

    there will be another mad flurry of resevations running out at 9pm tomorrow night.

    In the spirit of sharing info...
    ...In using the PT920 I would regard some pre-shaving oil as essential to avoid neck-rash. Especially while figuring out the best technique with a new shaver. I have coarse stubble and sensitive skin -- think albino-Celt LOL.

    For foil shaving I've always found 'Total Shaving Solution' (~€5 in Tesco, etc, for tiny bottle, that lasts ages) to be extremely effective... 2 drops spread only on the palms (not fingers), patted into stubble especially the neck and upper lip. I add an extra drop per extra days beard growth -- just make sure to wash/clean the blades after each shave... will see how this works out with a rotary system soon enough :-)

    From opening the oil, to closing aftershave or skin lotion bottle seemed to take about 10mins -- the same as with my foil shaver which used to eventually give a really close finish (going 'with-grain', then 'against-grain', then little circles to finish).
    This PT920 didn't get quite as close yet, but should improve with a few weeks -- eg figuring out which way to swish on the upper lip to get the last bit of cutting done, wasn't ultra-successful yet. It's massively quieter though, the old trusty FF500 was like a lawnmower.

    They should really allow only one or two reservations per email address, and block people if they fail to collect two or three items.

    People of course would get around this with a small but of effort.

    it's exempt from the 30 day money back garuntee

    Does this mean there is no exchange allowed even if you decide to return it say a couple of days later.

    I bought today and seems fine, just curious...and worried by fionnmcool and lemmys comments!

    No exchange is allowed on this but believe me it's a grand shaver for that price, can't understand why anybody would be complaining about it.

    nope got mine today in carlow..ive had a few philips over the years and they are very good shavers..ive had years of use out of my last philips and these seem to be built pretty much the same design..its important to get familiar with the head/foil/cutter mechanism and to keep all clean and unclogged..

    I pointed out earlier that the cutting heads on these razors are interchangeable with many different models, you are basically paying for the styling as the guts and mechanisms are identical.

    Usually a few tips how to clean the thing, and general guidance to get the best out of something I'd guess

    Initial impressions would be 3.5/5 for the shaver, not much better or worse than past Philips I've had. Great price though
