Philips Electric Shaver 3000 Series – Wet & Dry Electric

Apart from the reams of instructions in the box this hes performed very well. Old razor was years old and this was a real shock to use .takes half the time now and gives a good close shave. Ill make it a rule now to not run things into the ground just because they keep going

After years of using foil shavers I became fed up with forever buying new foil & cutter sets that lasted less than a year, so I opted for a rotary shaver. It doesn’t shave quite as close as a foil one, I expected that, but the results are more uniformly even, with no areas poorer than others. It even gets the annoying bits in the corner of my lips that I used to keep touching with the tip of my tongue all day. It is extremely quiet, and what is more, the triple head covers a bigger area, so my shaving is quicker than it used to be.

A couple of niggles: The button that makes the head spring open for cleaning is far too sensitive, I’ve unintentionally touched it and had the head open quite a few times while shaving. And am I alone in finding the tapered body awkward to hold? My fist made of fingers and thumb always slides up towards the head; I presume one is meant to brace one’s thumb against the inner angle of the head, but mine never stays there for long.

UPDATE 12/2023: Still happy with using the shaver, but when I open the head for cleaning the damn thing falls off into the basin fifty percent of the time, it is far too loose and really needs to be held on tighter.
