If you’re a (hairy) man, you’re more than likely always trying to find the next best shaver, but hate to spend a fortune on one that may not do the job…
Enter the Philips Norelco SensoTouch 3D Electric Shaver with Jet Clean System (black!). Hopefully it does the job, because it sure as heck costs a fortune!
Firstly, this is without doubt one of the nicest electric shavers I’ve ever seen. It comes boxed very well (perhaps a little too well – annoying blister packaging for the shaver itself = argh!).
Inside the box you’re greeted by a small charger, the Jet Clean system (which is also ANOTHER charger in of itself), the small bathroom-friendly plug, a little cleaning brush, instruction manuals, a little cover for the shaver’s heads, and the cleaning solution for the Jet Clean System.
Charging the shaver is not your typical 16-hour affair as is normally the case with shavers. One hour will see your shaver from dead to full. Very nice. The instruction manual does recommend the shaver be removed from the charger when it is charged. I don’t really know why, as most “intelligent” devices stop charging after the device is charged anyway to prevent overcharging and lessening battery life. I’m not sure what this Philips Norelco does in this regard, but again – it recommends removing the shaver from the charger when charged. I suspect it should be fine to leave it in the charger when you’re done shaving.
So how does it feel?
Well, I have to say the first time you push the shaver against your dry face, it’s like it’s gently massaging your skin…. until you realize it’s also removing hair at the same time. Woah! It’s a really fun feeling, but it definitely takes a while to get your entire face shaved depending on how much stubble you have there. I won’t lie – it’s the absolute closest to a razor I’ve ever experienced from an electric. It really gets that close if you spend the time to be careful!
That’s not say it’s perfect. I definitely rubbed my face a little too much in the process the first time, and I did feel a tad sore at the end, but I suspect this will ease with time. In fact, the manual suggests you use ONLY this shaver for 3 weeks so that your face can get used to it. I’ll update this review in a few more weeks!
When you’re done with your shave, you can use the Jet Clean System, which I think is super cool. You fill (the first time) or empty+fill (subsequent times) the little tray in the bigger charging unit up to the marked line once every two weeks (if you use the shaver every day), and then when you’re done shaving, you stick the shaver’s head upside down into the Jet Clean System, hit the power button, and then the shaver automatically dunks itself into the liquid/foam/lubricant, runs some on/off clean cycles, and then lets itself dry over the course of two hours. It’s definitely very futuristic, and saves having to scrape out hair and gunk like you would normally have to do.
So far I’m VERY impressed.
Pros:
1.) Slick-looking device
2.) Not too noisy
3.) Not too much hair debris everywhere at all – surprised by this!
4.) Very fancy-looking charging LEDs on the shaver itself
5.) Very fancy magnets hold the shaver in place when it charges
6.) Has a nifty slide-out trimmer for below your nose or straightening out your sideburns
7.) Comes with a nice, zipped carrying case for traveling with your state-of-the-art shaver!
8.) Visual indicator when you need to replace the shaving heads
9.) Two-year warranty
Cons:
1.) Definitely will take a bit of an adjustment period if your skin isn’t used to such a close shave
2.) The mini-charger doesn’t take up a huge amount of room, but the Jet Clean System is definitely not something that could be called subtle… so plan accordingly!
3.) When using the slide out trimmer, it can be tricky to see where you’re trimming with the shaving blades in the way
4.) Have to buy Philips Norelco’s special cleaning/lubricating liquid for the Jet Clean System
5.) Non-replaceable battery
6.) Just under an hour of use from a full charge (not necessarily a bad thing?)
Despite the few cons, this really is a great electric shaver, and definitely the best I’ve used. I hope it gives me much joy and trimming for a good while to come!
4.5 stars out of 5!
***EDIT August 28, 2010***
So I’ve been using this all week, and just as the manual suggests, it’s getting easier on my skin every time I use it.
ALSO, I have found it is safe to leave the device in the charger when it’s charged. The unit actually shuts off the charging circuit when it’s fully charged (all the LEDs go out). So despite what the manual says, it IS safe to leave the shaver in its charger when it is fully charged.
Loving this shaver.

I’ve used a high end Braun shaver/ cleaning unit over the last five years. I have a reasonably heavy beard and I honestly believed I would continue to use that shaver until it quit and I think it still has years. But from the VERY FIRST shave with the Philips Norelco 1250 I knew I HAD A NEW SHAVER. I’m 52-years old and have been shaving for quite some time. This VERY FIRST shave was the best shave of my life. Bar none. So quick, so close and extremely comfortable. My beloved Braun cannot hold a candle to this new marvel of technology.
Following my “magical” shave, I tried out the Jet Clean system. I want to mention that I did run the shaver under a hot tap, as suggested by Norelco, before using the Jet Clean. Honestly, I think the ‘tap cleaning’ removed every last whisker and left the unit spotlessly clean. But I wanted to test the cleaning system, since my Braun also had one. Simple, intuitive. It really is just the push of a button and the unit undergoes a two hour cleaning and drying process. Though the manufacturer is suggesting this after each use, I don’t think that would be necessary. Once a week or every few days should suffice if one is ‘tap rinsing’ the blades in the meantime.
Taking the assembly apart is a snap. The instructions could be a bit clearer relating to accessing the blades and combs- but it’s figured out fairly quickly.
I can’t give a higher rating. This is a BRILLIANT advance in my shaving life. And I welcome it. Think about it men, we spend a LOT of time in our lives shaving. It is really nice when it is such a pleasant experience.

I hate shaving. I hate everything about it. That being said, I love this shaver and it makes the task of shaving far more bearable, effective and pain-free. This review will not be a bulleted list like some of my reviews are, but more of a conversation about my experience with the shaver.
I have sensitive skin. Being in my 30’s, I’ve switched back and forth over the years between manual wet shaving and electric shaving. I don’t shave every day, and some times I’ve gone with the goatee and beard just to avoid shaving and the after pain & breakout.
This shaver is amazing. At first use, I was shocked by how silent it is. I can use this in the shower which is essential for guys with sensitive skin. Cleanup is a breeze, and while I haven’t needed to do the “immersion” cleaning yet, I was able to follow the simple instructions to rinse out the shave heads after the shower.
The box includes everything you need except after shave lotion if you want it (and I recommend that for any time after shaving). When I opened the box I felt like I was opening a piece of art. The design on this thing and the charger/cleaning tray is super futuristic. Instructions were thorough, but not overwhelming. And now to get down to business– the shaving.
The Shaver & Shaving Experience
The quality is superior, and it should be for the price. Nothing feels cheap or flimsy.
This was the first electric shave I’ve had in 5-10 years. It wasn’t even similar to what I remember from previous models. It was smooth, easy, and did not cause that immediate burn that I remember from electric shavers of the past. I’ve had Braun and a variety of Philips Norelco over the years. The shave was quick, fast, smooth and left me with the best shave I have had in a very long time… I feel like a teenager again! Ha! I had good success with getting close to the sideburns and creating a clean line without running up in to the edge of the sideburns. That’s been one of my main problems with electric shavers in the past, but I had no issue with this one.
This thing charges in no time and works for several shaves on one charge. It comes with a very light weight charger that I could also consider a travel charger, and as well you can charge it in the immersion cleaner if you prefer.
This thing is premium, as is the price. It also comes with a premium 2 year warranty. In a day when Sony only ships some of their electronics with a 90 day warranty, I was again, pleasantly surprised & pleased. If you want the best shave you can get, there is nothing I can recommend more than this shaver. I’m still saying “wow”.
I plan to update this review as I continue to use the shaver.

For decades I was a dedicated blade shaver and over the last few years most of the time I just ran a set of clippers over my cheeks and went with the scruffy look. I have fairly sensitive skin and I wear a long goatee. The last time I tried an electric razor of any kind (an expensive German model) it grabbed a hold of my facial hair and STUCK to my face. I was quite worried about a repeat of that disaster with this new razor from Philips Norelco.
I was pleasantly surprised to find I could get right up against my goatee without any hair grabbing problems. The razor went through heavy stubble with ease though it did require a bit more pressure than I initially expected. The first time I used this I had to go back and reshave but that was just the learning curve and not the fault of the razor.
In the instructions it does warn about skin irritation while switching shaving methods and I must admit I had some irritation. It was more pronounced on the softer skin of my neck and under my chin and less on my cheeks. The irritation wasn’t severe and went away in a reasonable amount of time.
You can use the SensoTouch 3d Electric Shaver dry or with shaving gel/cream. I’ve tried it both ways and I must say I LOVE using this razor with my shaving gel the head glides smoothly and it seems to result in an even closer shave.
My only complaint about the shaver would be the position and maybe the size, of the trimmer. It’s a bit small and awkwardly located behind the shaver heads so it’s a bit hard to see what you’re doing clearly.
Cleaning the unit is a breeze even when using shaving gel. Rinsed under warm running water then opening the heads to rinse out the clippings and residual foam. Alternately you can also use the Jet Clean System which is as simple as it gets. Place the razor in the unit and push the button on the front of the Jet Clean System. The razor moved in and out of the included cleaning solution, then dries and charges itself.
This package also includes a separate charging stand (which shares the cord with the Jet Clean System), handy travel case and a small cleaning brush along with the bottle of cleaning fluid for the Jet Clean System.
