Philips Norelco Shaver series 3000dry electric razor

Charged it up in a hour and started shaving on battery. Power seemed fine as it took down growth about 1/8”. Did not pull and first pass took down pretty much everything. Have been using a very old corded model for 30+ years which keeps on ticking. Never needed to change blades. Just cleaned and seems to self sharpen. Amazingly durable. Classic. Did not want the new designs that has the skinny neck which might snap if dropped. So went the tried and true design. We did buy our son a similar model 10 years ago and that one still holds a charge fine. But went this time with the corded and cordless option - as have always preferred corded for longevity. When cordless became available initially the battery technology was terrible as ours died within a year. So have stayed with corded since. Chose this specific model as it still has the old design shape and still can use a cord. Once stock is sold out these options may no longer be available. So trying cordless again - as can always use corded if needed. Shave quality for me is perfectly fine and close. But have always used Electric Shave and finished with a dab of Face Cream. Has worked a charm. No burn - no problems - ever. Have never needed to wet shave. So shave dry then clean out the chamber each time. Also clean blades as required. Hopefully these newer Lithium batteries will last a long time. As the durability of the NiMH batteries was not in question. Problem though was the 8 hour charge time.

I have owned this shaver for YEARS and the only reason I hit this site is that I want to buy the same one for the trailer. Use it every day and keeps its charge a long time. Dont want to try something else when I know this shaver won’t let me down

The price was very reasonable. The shaver felt light, which usually means poor performance. Instead to my great and pleasant surprise, the shaver does the job. Quickly and quietly.

I have a thick beard growth with sensitive skin and this shaver does a great job. There seems to be no need for a sideburns trimmer. This shaver is excellent value for money.

This shaver itself is very well designed and ergonomic, and the shave is very comfortable and close (I have a medium or average beard) cutting shorter stubble and longer hairs with ease and is very quiet. Cleaning the product is very simple as well by washing with warm water under the tap. I found that the battery charged quicker than advertised (first charge, and battery was empty) and holds that charge for quite a while, and can be used while plugged into the mains. Overall it is an excellent shaver.

A clean great shave with anti cut technology as well as a GREAT contour blade!

Had Phillips for 60 years and this is the best one yet. Started when I was 24 and now 84 and both are still going strong....

Meets my expectations for required use and like the quality and value

I previously had an older Philips shaver (that lasted years and years!) and when the moustache/sideburn trimmer broke, I needed to find a replacement. In today's age or rechargeable, cordless shavers, it was not easy to find a corded shaver with a pop-up trimmer, but this model is exactly what I wanted. Works great!

i have baby skin and a bearld like barbed wire. i have tried many razors oyer the years only to succomb to rashes or poor shaves. i am quite happy with this razor.thank you
