[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The shaver does not cut close at all. I’ve tried both wet and dry applications and it just doesn’t seem to cut close the charger. Doesn’t seem to have enough power to cut well constantly needs recharging. I have a light beard and this is extremely disappointing. I used to have a Norelco that I plugged into the wall, and it was much better and did a much better job not everything driven by batteries performs well
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After “practicing” for several weeks, packed my Norelco 3600 for a3-week vacation cruise and travels… (MORE COMPACT THAN MY 5-HEAD ROTARY HEAD SHAVER)
For over three weeks, used it on my beard AS WELL AS MY (BALD) HEAD and was very impressed with overall results…
My 3600 is much quieter handling both face, neck and head snd I can actually HEAR the blades cutting the whiskers and stubble(!) Once I can’t hear the cutting, I know I’m done. Using it for both head and beard, worked JUST AS WELL as my 5-cutter head razor and much quieter!
Actually ran a test with both of them with one razor on left side and other razor on right side…Norelco 3600 just a little better than the head razor, but (understandably) took a little longer. VERY satisfied with results!!! IMPRESSIVE!!
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been happy with my new razor. It cuts close and does not cause any rash. The motor sounds different, but so far it works very well.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Gave it a chance, it would not give me a close shave! Sticking with the razor.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hi Cobb,
Thanks for sharing your review regarding the Philips Shaver. We are sorry to hear that you are not getting the close shave.
Please note that using the right technique is key to making sure you’re getting the best results from your shaver. 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. Additionally, if you haven’t shaved for three days or longer, pre-trim the longer hairs with a beard trimmer to ensure a better result when using your Philips electric shaver.
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. 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.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love that this product can be used wet or dry. My husband is disappointed because it is not a clean cut. We purchased this about a month ago and it seen like the blades have been dull from the start. Also, we are having a hard time locating a new head for a closer shave. Definitely need this product to work for him due to age.
