Flyco FS960 Shaver Review: 5-Blade Wet & Dry Rotary

Flyco FS960 has 40,000+ reviews on JD.com with a 4.5/5 rating at ¥279 ($39). Users appreciate the 5-blade dual-ring foil system that delivers a noticeably closer shave than standard 3-blade rotaries, the IPX7 waterproof body for convenient shower shaving, and the ergonomic grip. The pop-up trimmer handles sideburns and mustache detailing. Common complaints include the proprietary charging connector rather than USB-C and the LED display being basic. Conclusion: ✅ Worth Buying — Flyco’s most refined rotary shaver that competes with premium Philips models at a fraction of the price.

Introduction

Design and Build Quality

The FS960 elevates Flyco’s build with a metallic-finish body and improved ergonomics. The rubberized grip sections are larger than the FS906, providing better purchase with wet hands. The 5-blade head sits on a more sophisticated floating mechanism with independent suspension for each blade unit.

The dual-ring foil technology is the standout feature. Each of the 5 blades has a double cutting track — effectively 10 cutting surfaces — that capture more hair per pass. This results in a closer shave with fewer passes needed.

The pop-up trimmer is wide (18mm vs 12mm on the FS906) and cuts cleanly. The travel lock prevents accidental activation in luggage.

The charging port remains proprietary on the FS960, which is disappointing at this price point. Most competitors have moved to USB-C.

“之前用的飞利浦5000系列，用了三年想换，试了飞科FS960。说实话剃须效果和飞利浦差距不大，甚至双环刀网设计剃得更干净。做工也比想象中好，有分量感。￥279的价格太值了。扣分的就是充电器还是专用的，要是能用USB-C就完美了。” — JD.com verified buyer, 200+ votes “Previously used Philips 5000 series for 3 years, tried Flyco FS960. Honestly shave quality is close to Philips — the dual-ring foil might even be cleaner. Build quality is better than expected, good heft. ¥279 is incredible value. Deduct points for the proprietary charger — USB-C would be perfect.”

Performance

The dual-ring foil system captures hairs from multiple angles in a single pass. For average beards, 2 passes (with and against grain) deliver a close shave comparable to premium models. The shave is smooth with minimal irritation.

Wet shaving with cream produces the best results. The 5 floating heads follow facial contours well — the chin, jawline, and upper lip areas are handled without requiring awkward angles.

Battery life at 90 minutes is a 50% improvement over the FS906. This translates to about 25-30 shaves per charge. The 1.5-hour charge time is reasonable, though the proprietary connector is a hassle for travelers.

The self-sharpening blades maintain sharpness for 12-18 months, consistent with the FS906. Replacement blade heads cost ¥79 ($11).

What Chinese Users Say

“双环刀网确实厉害，剃一次相当于普通刀网剃两次。下巴部位的胡须以前要来回剃好几次，现在两下就干净了。手感很好，防滑设计不错。电池比之前用的903强太多了，一个月充一次电。” — JD.com verified buyer, 150+ votes “Dual-ring foil is legitimately better — one pass equals two passes on standard foil. Chin area used to need multiple passes, now two and done. Great grip with anti-slip design. Battery is way better than my old FS903 — charge once a month.”

“飞科FS960是飞科目前最好用的剃须刀，没有之一。剃须效果基本达到飞利浦7000系的水平。但是有个问题，用了半年之后刀头会出现轻微的松动，不影响剃须但影响质感。希望飞科在品控上再提升一下。” — JD verified buyer “Flyco FS960 is Flyco’s best shaver, period. Shave quality reaches Philips 7000 series level. But one issue — after 6 months the blade head develops slight wobble. Doesn’t affect shaving but affects build feel. Hope Flyco improves QC.”

“防水效果很好，洗澡的时候直接用剃须泡沫剃，完了直接冲洗。出差要记得带专用充电器，因为不是USB的，这点比较麻烦。剃得干净，推荐购买。” — JD.com verified buyer “Waterproofing is excellent — use with shaving foam in the shower, rinse directly after. Need to remember the proprietary charger for travel since it’s not USB — that’s a hassle. Shaves cleanly, recommend buying.”

Purchase Recommendations

✅ Worth Buying (¥279)

Flyco’s most capable rotary shaver. The dual-ring foil delivers genuinely closer shaves than any Flyco model before it. Excellent value against Philips.

💰 Premium Pick

At ¥799, the Philips 7000 Series has USB-C charging, digital display, and a more refined motor. Worth it for those who shave heavy beards and prioritize long-term reliability.

⚠️ Budget Warning

The FS906 at ¥219 ($30) offers most of the FS960’s performance with USB-A charging. If the dual-ring foil isn’t essential, save ¥60.

Pros & Cons

✅ Pros	❌ Cons

Excellent wet/dry IPX7 waterproofing	Display is basic LED only
Wide pop-up trimmer (18mm)	Higher price vs FS906

Self-sharpening blades (12-18 months)	Blade replacement ¥79 (moderate cost)

FAQ

Q: Is the FS960 better than the FS906? A: Yes. The dual-ring foil system provides a measurably closer shave. The battery is 50% larger (90 min vs 60 min). However, the FS960 uses a proprietary charger while the FS906 uses USB-A. For shave quality, the FS960 is better. For charging convenience, the FS906 wins.

Q: Can I use the FS960 for head shaving? A: Some users report acceptable results, but rotary shavers are designed for facial contours. For regular head shaving, a dedicated head shaver or foil shaver would be more effective.

Q: How do I clean the FS960? A: Rinse the head under running water after each use. Remove the blade assembly weekly for deeper cleaning. The included brush helps with debris removal.

Q: Does the FS960 support quick charging? A: A 5-minute charge gives approximately one shave. Full charge in 1.5 hours.

Q: Where can I buy replacement blades? A: Flyco FS960 replacement blade heads are available on JD.com for ¥79 ($11). They are branded as Flyco FS960 specific — not interchangeable with FS906 blades.

Verdict

Rating: 4.5/5

The Flyco FS960 is Flyco’s most accomplished rotary shaver. The dual-ring foil technology delivers premium-level closeness, and the 90-minute battery provides extended use between charges. The proprietary charger is the most frustrating compromise at this price — a USB-C port would make this a near-perfect product. For daily shavers who value shave quality over charging convenience, the FS960 is an excellent choice.
