[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Have been using Norelco shavers starting with the corded models in the1960's. Best was the 8160XL. The poorest were the 7000 ( because of large head assy.) and this 3600. 3600 Pro's - does good job around nose & mouth areas. Con's - does not glide across face, just adequate shave.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased the Phillips shaver to replace a Braun shaver and I like it much better. It shave closer than the Braun
Still tops in its class for great shaves and long.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After many years, I decided to replace my Phillips wet and dry razor. I did my research and saw the new version still got top ratings. If anything, the new one is even better than the old one. It's lighter, and the battery life is tremendous. Dry or right out of the shower, the shave is excellent, and the trimmer is great.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Outstanding. Quick recharge, excellent cutting, trim, and comfort.. Highly recommend. I have been using Philips shavers for years, never change brand.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am very pleased with the performance of this shaver. I bought it to upgrade a bit from the next model down. This shaver does not pull hair, is easy to clean, and the battery charge indicator stops you from guessing on the amount of charge left. The self sharpening feature has me cleaning the shaver after a few shaves to help the process. Cleaning is a breeze. Light pressure works best. Very Happy!
The product works well. Easy to use and maintain. Comfortable handle too. Unfortunately, I cannot enjoy the smooth shave because it’ll lead to razor bumps as I have curly hair. I wish the product page gave us a heads up about this potential problem.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It's everything I expected. Smooth shave, light weight. I like the lights lettinge know the battery life. Worth the price.
