[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] it is very difficult to use, especially i'm 90. It is hard not to have it connected correctly for charging and I miss a charging/base holder would make life so much easier.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Finally I get to save a lot of time and water. First of all, I don't take as much time in the shower to shave using a razor. Of course my wife would say "shave in front of the mirror" which I never did. Then second, I save a bunch of time shaving while I drive to work. I couldn't have it any better. Great product.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am on Warfarin (Cumoden) for life. The last time I cut my face shaving it took hours to stop the bleeding. No more. I bought this specific Philips shaver because it had all the features I needed, so I didn't pay for what wasn't necessary. Don't expect electric shavers to cut as close razors, but it does the job.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Even after shaving every day for 10 to 12 minutes, I still have to clean up in the shower with a traditional razor. This shaver is only 2 months old. I have used a Norelco shaver for years. I am now considering something else. And my beard is not unusual.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hi there,
Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We are sorry to hear about your experience with the Philips Norelco Shaver 3900.
It sounds like the uneven cutting you’re experiencing could be due to a buildup of hair or dirt particles inside the shaver, which might be affecting its performance. To resolve this, please try thoroughly cleaning your shaver, including removing and cleaning the shaving heads. Additionally, ensure that your shaver is assembled correctly. For best results, use circular motions with gentle pressure while shaving. If you haven’t shaved in a few days and have a longer beard, trimming it beforehand can help improve your shave and reduce skin irritation.
If these tips do not work or if you have any additional questions, please get in touch via social media. We’re available on Facebook (@Philips) and X (@PhilipsCare). Don’t worry, if you don’t use social media, you can also reach out to us via our contact page: www.Philips.com/contact.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The shaver is quiet and has a long battery life. That's a good thing because it takes forever to shave with it. I have to shave again during the day to look good still. Yes I realize 5 O'clock shadow is normal, but not at noon.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hi there,
Thanks for sharing your review. We are sorry to hear that you are not pleased with the performance of the Philips Norelco Shaver 3600.
Keeping your blades clean and replacing them when required is the number one way to make sure you get a close shave. We recommend giving your shaver a quick clean after each shave and a more thorough cleaning each month. Hairs do not always grow in a uniform direction, and, for that reason, we recommend moving your shaver in circles while applying light pressure. This allows the blades to cut hairs growing in all different directions. Philips recommends shaving dry with your electric shaver. This means without using gel or foam and with a clean and fully dry face. This allows your shaver to glide smoothly across your skin. Additionally, avoid shaving before a workout, because sweat can cause freshly shaved skin to redden.
We hope this will improve your experience. If the issue still persists, please get in touch via Social Media. We’re available on Facebook (@Philips) and X (@PhilipsCare). Don’t worry, if you don’t use Social Media, you can also reach out to us via the contact page: www.Philips.com/contact.
