Greetings.....

Here's a quick roundup of the grooming tools and supplies I reviewed in December (2025) and January (2026) on ShavingAdvisor.com and the YouTube Channel.

Still somewhat behind on the monthly newsletters. Maybe bimonthly is a good thing for now!

If you're thinking about upgrading or trying something new, these summaries might help you decide what's worth checking out and what's not.

The quick links below show what has been used and reviewed, and below them will provide an overview.

Philips Head Shaver Pro 5000 Series Review – It Beats Most Of The Competition (Reviewed by Jason)

The Philips Head Shaver Pro 5000 Series — introduced in 2025 alongside the 7000 and 9000 Series – proved to be one of (if not) the best options available. It gives a comfortable and quick head shave, and the generous warranty period makes it shine even more.

The 5000 Series is the cheapest of the three. It does not include some of the advanced features (minor) and accessories found on the 7000 and 9000 models. However, it still shares the same most important aspect — performance.

Philips Head Shaver Pro 7000 Series Review – A New Iteration (Reviewed by Jason)

While the Philips Head Shaver Pro 7000 Series shares the same core shaving technology and motor as its siblings, it offers a sweet spot of upgraded battery life and accessories that the 5000 lacks, without the higher price tag of the 9000.

Philips Head Shaver Pro 5000 vs. 7000 vs. 9000: Hands-On Comparison (Reviewed by Jason)

At the end of the day, you're getting the same shave performance regardless of which one you buy.

Pick the one that fits your budget and your need for accessories.

I should also mention that I am a big fan of the Philips Head Shaver Pro lineup. The 2 – 5 year warranty and knowing Philips honors their policy is very appealing, on top of it being one of the better dedicated head shavers among the many others I have used and reviewed.

Brio Beardscape V2 Trimmer Review – Next Generation of Trimmers (Reviewed by Robert)

Brio brings us a high-quality beard trimmer with tons of bells and whistles attached. Despite some rough corners, it is the next step forward in what all trimmers should feature. It is a costly buy, though, so you will need to save your pennies.

Brio has created a tight and well-designed trimmer that is perfect for a guy who wants to up his game to make his beard look like dynamite. My own beard felt like I had just come back from a professional barber after my first trim with this trimmer.

It did so well that it joined the Best Beard Trimmers Roundup of the Yearquite easily!

Domepeace Mattifying Scalp Moisturizer Review – Light And Mattifies Very Well (Reviewed by Jason)

I have to agree with what Domepeace has to say about its Mattifying Scalp Moisturizer, and I like that they do not oversell with marketing hype. It gets an all-around thumbs up from me, but I wouldn’t mind a larger bottle for the price.

I’m really happy to find a new moisturizer that does mattify very well, and it is up there with the best mattifying creams I have used and reviewed.
