Its available now in the UK and Australia with a list price of 699 / AU$999.
Thankfully, though, its unlikely youll have to pay quite this much in all regions.
For instance, Ive spotted it going for much closer to 300 from a lot of UK retailers.
Still, thats quite a bit to spend on an electric shaver so is it worth it?
But wait… theres more.
Is this model perfect?
And it comes with a wireless charging pad.
Pretty convenient, right?
Another great aspect of the S9000 Prestiges design is its support for multiple attachments.
It comes with a few interchangeable heads including the default foil shaver, SmartClick trimmer and nose hair trimmer.
You also get a brush for cleaning tighter crevices Philips have thought of everything.
There are even more goodies in the box worth mentioning, though.
First of all, this model comes with a self-cleaning station and a quick clean pod.
It has a hardy exterior and plenty of room inside, making for a nifty travel companion.
Firstly, that firm-feeling grip I mentioned ensures seamless handling, regardless of what angle youre trimming at.
But how about the shaving itself?
The blades took care of hairs growing in multiple directions with ease for the most part.
It also has an Ultraflex suspension system that helps the heads work along every contour of your face.
All in all, this is designed to deliver a more efficient, but also a more comfortable shave.
And for me personally, that was greatly appreciated.
I have pretty sensitive skin and the technology packed into this shaver helped to reduce a lot of irritation.
Meanwhile, you get a decent battery life of one hour out of the S9000 Prestige.
Thats very much in-line with what a lot of hi-tech electric shavers can manage.
But if youre hoping for more, fear not.
It takes three hours to get this shavers battery fully restored not bad considering the use of wireless charging.
Philips Shaver S9000 Prestige review: value
OK, I wont beat around the bush.
If were talking about its list price, this shaver is very, very expensive.
Id argue a bit too expensive even.
But I bring good news.
Youll rarely have to pay such an astronomical fee for this stylish shaver.
And that really changes the picture in this price range, the S9000 Prestige is well-worth considering.
Otherwise, it would be tough to recommend even given its high-level performance.
Should you buy the Philips Shaver S9000 Prestige?

Bags of quality but list price is very high, rarely costs so much, though.
That makes it the perfect shaving companion, even for those with sensitive skin.
And at full-price, this ones a no-go if youre not looking to spend an arm and a leg.
Dont get me wrong, it does work pretty well, but its not quite elite.

On top of that, I also tried having a wet and dry shave with the default head attachment.
