Philips Norelco Shaver 3600, Rechargeable Wet & Dry Electric Shaver with Pop-Up Trimmer and Storage Pouch, S3243/91

Excellent so far...used daily for 6 days...close and smooth. Pretty quiet. Comfortable to hold. Comes with travel pouch. Good quality USB cable...charged pretty fast from zero. Haven't needed recharge yet.

My main reason for docking one star is because it seems to be only possible to order genuine replacement Philips heads from USA at high cost for both the heads and shipping. I looked on the UK Philips site but couldn't see them offered for sale. Amazon only sell "compatible" heads and I don't know if these are as good as the Philips ones. I suspect not. I have older versions of this shaver which I have bought replacement compatible heads for in the past but they didn't give such good results as the original heads. That said, I don't really know if that was due to the age of the shaver or the quality of the heads.

Best shaver on the market

Good product

Excelente producto, funciona de maravilla, seco o mojado, la carga de la batería dura bastante.

I've seen this style of shaver in movies and such while growing up. You know, the guy shaving in the car while stuck in traffic late to work? What a time saver I thought. But I always went with some form of safety razor for precision and closeness. After 30 years or so of seeing rotary shavers in ads, movies etc, and excellent results with other Philips Norelco products, like the vacuum beard trimmers they used to make. I figured the tech on the rotary razor is super refined by this point and wanted to try one. Even if it sucked, I knew I could use it at least on occasion to get a head's start if I was in a rush. I got the 3600 because when I went to the brand website, it was one of this year 2024's releases. And I knew I wanted the latest engineering greatness. Also this one came with a pouch, which is nice. If you look at all of their shavers that look like this, there's not a whole lot of difference other than 5D vs 4D heads, the product color, and whether or not it comes with a pouch, stand, or both. Look closely, some of them the only difference from one to another is that for $20 more you get a charging stand. Anyway, I got this one because it's a newer release, comes with a pouch, and I figure 5D means slightly more efficient or faster shaving. I haven't compared but I wouldn't think twice about any of their other shavers. I would expect a similar experience with any of them. The shaving experience is very nice, the rotary razors glide over my face like butter. I should note that I use the Lectric Shave splash first, which dries fast and then I dry shave over it. I like this a lot more than shaving in the shower with shaving cream, as I do with safety razors. The problem shaving wet with this is unless there is some lubrication on your face at all times, there is no glide with this electric razor. I imagine this is true for any rotary razor but, my experience is best dry with the splash first - no water. This works great to quickly and painlessly clean up your scruff, but if you haven't shaved in a few weeks it's probably better to start with a beard trimmer, as it seem like it would be quite a chore to weed whack a beard with this. Compared to the travel foil shavers I have from Bruan and Panasonic, I find that the Philips Norelco rotary does a better first pass, and the foil shavers do a better second pass or refining. With with the rotary/foil combo I can get a shave about the same as I would with a safety razor. Anyway, very cool and fun to use. Really my favorite part is the sensation itself of massaging my face with the rotary part. It doesn't feel like I'm shaving at all, more like massaging my face, which is so nice.

Very very bad product i have ever seen. This is not a shaver just a waste of time. Its just the brand printed as philips but its not philips
