When it comes to shaving, the PowerTouch Pro PT920 is a fair bit more advanced than the Aquatouch.

The PowerTouch Pro PT920

One of the major plus points of the PT920 is its triple-track. This means that there is around 50% more shaving surface, helping it to cover more of the skin at once and capture more hairs with each stroke of the shaver. At last this in beneficial in that that you'll have to spend less time shaving, as more hairs will be cut every time the shaver moves across the skin. This is a major advantage that the PowerTouch model has over the AquaTouch model.

Another thing that the advanced Philips PT920 has that’s not available in the Philips AT890, is its SmartPivot head. The heads do not simply flex about their own base, but they also pivot about the base over the whole shaver head. This allows the shaver head to follow the contours of your skin more closely, so reducing friction. Less friction means less epidermal irritation.

The PT920 also comes with a charging stand, and a travel pouch.

The AquaTouch AT890

Apart from being fully water-resistant, the AquaTouch model is a lot simpler than the fantastic Philips PT920. In fact, the PT920′s shaving technology easy sweeps the AT890 aside; the Aquatouch has nothing which can offer a better shaving experience over the PT920.

One notable difference is its skin defence system These are simple caps which cover the blades in order to to shield the skin from the blades.

As we’ve already pointed out, the Aquatouch is fully waterproof which means that it can be used in the shower and it can also provide a wet shave with a foam or gel. The PT920 is only a dry shaver, in comparison.

Instead of a travel pouch, the Aquatouch includes a shower hanging pouch (which you could also use for traveling, even though it is not as padded and protected as the dedicated travel pouch that comes with the PowerTouch).

The major advantage the AquaTouch has over the PowerTouch is it’s price. It’s quite a lot less expensive, so if you are constrained on a low budget then the AT890 will most likely represent miles better value to you than the PowerTouch model.
