Philips Norelco Shaver 3900 Series, Wet and Dry Electric Shaver, P-Cap, Travel Pouch, Charging Stand, Storm Blue, Model S3341/92

I've had a 1000 (?) series rehargable shaver for the longest time, easily 10 years. Whatever it is, it uses the HQ8 shaving heads and the SH30 heads fit it - sorta. And I think it is a NiCad battery not Lion But I think it's performance has been slipping a bit which i have attributed to the fact that the battery is OLD. And I was right, about performance, I think this new shaver's blades spin faster than my old one. And the shave is closer because of it, I think. There are no real negatives. The charging cradle isn't as easy to use as I would like, but it may be because I'm not familiar enough with it. It's a bit difficult to place in the cradle and the cradle's power-in port is a little tight for the cord. It uses a standard 5v 1a charging brick like for an old phone and one doesn't come with it, it comes with just a usb cable. Yeah, that does seem a bit cheap, but most people have plenty of them lying around, and for those who don't, they are so cheap and used by so MANY things that it hardly seems worth mentioning any more. It seems to be built on the same design as my old shaver, but the new exterior decorations and fittings are more modern, but otherwise, it functions pretty much like my old shaver. My first shave (dry) with it went well, the shave is closer than with the old one, and I don't have to risk razor burn by pressing the shaving head too forcefully to get a reasonable shave. I might experiment with a wet shave, but I have no problem with dry shaving. On the whole, I'm happy with this purchase. I'd advise people with electric razors who feel like they just aren't getting the shaves that they used to get, to upgrade to something newer. And this is in the sweet spot of quality upgrades at a good price.

Been using this shaver for about 10 days. I've used norelco rotary shavers since 1980 and have gone thru about 7 or 8. They've changed blade cutter several times. Prior to last few years they had the Lift and Cut and SpeedXL designs. The best for my face have been the SpeedXL which has 3 different sized cutters in the circular combs. This new shaver uses the newer SH30 heads. This new shaver cuts really good, as close as SpeedXL heads for me. Not sure yet if the shave stays as close after 2 or 3 days. I'm retired and don't shave everyday, usually every 2 or 3 days. Compared to lift and cut design right now I'd say somewhat better. The great thing is all my old cutters and combs fit this head, all I have to do is switch them out. I have blades from 8 years ago that still cut good. The battery seems to hold up pretty good. The shaver weighs less than my old aqua shaver but doesn't feel is built as well. I don't like charging stands but all you have to do is use the usb cable to charge directly without using stand. Someone said the don't have usb! This is 2026 and everybody has it somewhere/somehow! Lastly some said it stopped cutting and was trash. If you DON'T clean everytime it won't cut cleanly so clean the darn thing after every use. Norelco now only recommends rinsing heads under warm water to clean. NOTE! Use only hot water to rinse, and every week disassemble the cutters and combs then use an old soft toothbrush to thoroughly clean both the combs and cutters. For some reason norelco doesn't mention this anymore nor includes any small cleaning brushes either. If you don't do this cutting performance will decrease. I also use an electric shave lotion sometimes which seems to help. The heads need to be lubed with a light coat of mineral oil once a month. If you keep clean and lubed the heads are self sharpening as you use it and unless you damage them heads will last for years.

I've tried many different electric shavers over a few decades and they all disappointed me. This Norelco shaver is a good one, yet not worthy of a 5 star rating. Let's face it, nothing shaves like a blade razor, but I was hoping for something better. I shave first, shower and shave again in order to get the best shave. The motor is quiet, it's lightweight and holds a charge through both shaves. The low price and the Norelco name moved me to choose this model.

Very nice shaver. This is my third or fourth Philips Norelco shaver and it does a great job shaving either wet or dry. The 3900 series is a good balance of performance and value. No need to spend $hundreds.

Had been using a Norelco rotary shaver purchased around 2009 or 10 with changing the rotary heads once. Still doing an acceptable job but decided to upgrade. Battery lasts far longer, cleaning the shaver is simple, and it shaves much closer and faster than the Norelco I had been using.

Although I have not used this for long at all, I've tested it in three different scenarios: 1. Dry Shave, 2. Shaving Cream in the Shower 3. Shave with Pre-Shave I would have to say that I was quite impressed in every situation. There was no irritation to the skin whatsoever shaving dry, and that was the first shave with an electric razor in over 15 years. So, my skin had no preparation. Using it in the shower with shaving cream gave a closer shave while using Ron's Natural Pre-Shave obviously gave the cleanest shave. My observations were that it does take longer to shave, but not by much if you consider that you don't need time to allow the shaving cream to soak in and having to clean up that mess afterwards. The second thing I noticed is that it doesn't get as close of a shave as a conventional razor, but almost as close. If you rub the whiskers against the grain, you might feel 5 - 10% more nubbles at most, but that depends on your own beard. I would safely say that all electric razors regardless of brand or price will provide similar results. I haven't used the popup trimmer, so I can't speak to that, but I would think it to be a plus for those who would benefit from it. It is a sinch to clean. Push the button to pop open the head and rinse it under running water. Charging can be done quickly, just 5 minutes if you find the battery fully drained. The razor feels good in the hand and easy to grip. It comes with its own charger, and the travel pouch is really nice. The good thing is that it has replaceable heads, so unless you drop it in the shower and break it, this razor should last many years. It is very thoughtful of the manufacturer to give you 45 days to try it out. I know I will keep mine. Why did I change from a conventional razor to an electric razor? There are a few reasons. I was running late to appear before some business colleagues on a Zoom meeting. In a rush to get ready, I nicked my face in several places. Some, like me can bleed for a while before clotting. I decided right then and there that I was going to purchase an electric razor. The second reason is that this will be cheaper in the long run. Third, I don't have to run to the store to get razors or shaving cream because I forgot the last time I was out shopping. Last, because I now can use a natural substance on my face without any harmful chemicals. I used Old Rons Barber Company Pre Shave Splash. A little pricey, but it is unscented and works great. You can buy it here on Amazon too.

Actually, the shaver works fine, and I would give it a "5", but what I had to get the shaver makes me give it a "3". Shaver was supposed to be delivered overnight, but I eventually got a notice that it was delayed. No big deal. After a couple of days of nothing, I called Amazon to ask about when I would get it. No clear answer from two separate people on the other end of the line. Both worked hard to try to help, but I could not understand anything they were saying. I hung up and called back. Got someone I could barely understand, who told me the shaver was due "any day". After more days of nothing, I called again and cancelled it and asked for a refund to my account. Waited a couple of days, no refund. Called again. Shaver was never cancelled. Cancelled again and ask for a refund to my account. After a couple of days, no refund. Called again. Shaver was never cancelled. Cancelled again and was told to wait a few days for the refund. I waited more than a couple of days, no refund. Ready to call again, but instead, the shaver arrived! I just shrugged and accepted it. BTW. It works well. : )

Good battery life and rechargeable and the quality of shave is better than I expected from an electric shaver. It's faster than using shave cream with a razor, and I get no more annoying cuts from shaving. It's versatile too! If I'm running late, I take it with me and shave in the car or at work. It's easy and comfortable and I'm done in minutes.

Muy buena rasuradora, diseño moderno.

This is my second shaver from this brand (first shaver still working, but deserved to retire after 10 yearseveryday use). From short try of some cheap stuff I have to come back to philips again, and happy about that

Muy bueno, deja muy suave la piel. Rasurado después de colocar agua en la cara o en seco. Fácil de limpiar y de secar con toalla. No he probado el de patillas. La pila dura hasta 15 días. Espero dar más comentarios a los 6 meses.

Very happy with my purchase, very easy to clean, soft on the touch when shaving, great buy...

This shaver performs best with gel or cream for wet shave application. I dislike the dry shave application of this shaver because I had to make multiple passes over stubble. New Razor with New Blades should work like a snap but they have not performed well. Took many times to shave upper lip and under nose which results in slight razor burn. Cheeks and neck area were very close shaven with multiple passes over the stubble.
