Philips Norelco Shaver 3500, S3212/82

Great value and still working after two years, like I bought it brand new. The battery setup is ideal, and it gives me a smooth shave every time. Easy to clean too!

I have been a Norelco-Philips user for decades. This razor did not disappoint me. It's very good in all areas and the price is very reasonable for what you get. My experience right out of the box is what have always had from this company. It shaves me as close as any mechanical razor, and holds a charge for days and days. It washes up under the spigot right away. What else is there? Some of said it should come with a charger. In this day and age, many of us have charging hubs for phones, pads, speakers and even computers. The razor is just another item I will plug into my existing hub. Easy.

If you are purchasing this electric razor, know this one important thing. It doesn't come with a wall outlet plug. You'll need to purchase that separately. However, this razor is well made, works like a charm. Is easy to use, easy to charge and easy to clean. Has a powerful motor for the shaver heads and cuts exceptionally well for the shave. I am still very pleased with the quality of this product.

This is one of the best and easiest to use shavers from Norelco. I have a long history of using Norelco shavers, ever since the 1980s. This one glides better over the skin, leaving very little irritation. It is super easy to clean and keep charged. Great product!

The Philips Norelco Shaver 3600 Series has quickly become my go-to for both quick morning shaves and more relaxed grooming sessions.Shaving Performance:The rotary blades glide smoothly over my skin, giving me a close shave without irritation. I’ve used it both wet (with shaving cream) and dry, and it performs great either way. The heads pivot and flex to follow the contours of my face, which makes it much easier to get a clean shave around the chin and jawline.Convenience:It charges quickly and has excellent battery life—I can get multiple shaves before needing to plug it in again. The included travel pouch makes it easy to toss in my bag when I’m on the go.Build & Comfort:The Storm Blue finish looks sleek, and it feels comfortable and well-balanced in hand. The pop-up trimmer is perfect for sideburns and touch-ups.Bottom Line:If you want a reliable, comfortable, and versatile electric shaver that works well wet or dry, the Philips Norelco 3600 is a solid choice. Great performance, good battery life, and easy to take on the road.

Not my first electric razor, 4th I believe. Still got a high end Philips 9XXX series from ~20 years ago that would be ok if I could find good replacement heads, but I can't. But this is about this razor. It's head and shoulders above that old high end one. No getting used to my beard, no this, no that, just charge it up and go. And unlike others it cuts close on the first pass, no need to go back and forth several times to get a close shave. Probably out of habit I still do a couple of passes, but it doesn't seem like it's really needed. Still not as close as a good conventional razor with shaving cream and all, but it's so much easier and so much faster it's amazing.

I had a Norelco cordless shaver many years ago and it worked really well for a lot of years. My latest cordless shaver was a Braun and it was worthless so I finally got rid of it and thought I would buy another Norelco. This shaver does work better than the Braun But it still doesn’t shave as close or as quick as I would like. And it doesn’t do a very good job of shaving in the mustache area. I am going to keep it because it does get the job mostly done, just slower.

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.
