I have had a Philips series 3000 wet/dry rotary shaver for 2 and half years now, I only use "dry shave" (with pre-electric shaving lotion before each shave), and the results have been great with this shaver, it gives me close, clean, smooth and irritation-redness free shaves every time; I am to give it a try in the "wet foam", with some shaving gel, and then will compare with the "dry shave", to see which one can be better.
@@AmmarSaeed-n8b You have two good choices: PHILIPS Series 3000 wet/dry rotary rechargeable shaver and BRAUN Series 3000 wet/dry foil rechargeable shaver, for every day or every other day and sensitive skin the BRAUN is a better choice, for shaving just 2-3 times per week and you have coarse/thick hair, the PHILIPS is the right one for you.
The old design is still the best. I bought a series 5000 and it was awful. Too much plastic surrounding the shaving heads and it dragged...in the 90s I had a philishave which came in 3 colours ( mine was brown) and it was excellent.
Hey, thanks! :) Depends. To get the closest shave possible it´d be best to try different approaches. Meaning you should shave against AND with the grain. So change the rotation from clockwise to counter clockwise to get as many hair as possible. At leawst thats how we´ve done it.
Can you answer a question please? Should the guards rotate or just the blades inside? With mine, the guards remain stationary. Is it working correctly?
@@jungtheforeman1 The "guards" (also called combs in some cases), must remain still, the only parts moving in the shaver head are blades (rotating under the guards =combs), if they all turn, you must get new blades = for rotary shaver
Hey its like rockgrinder said. Also Thanks for that m8. The guards remain in place. The actual blades underneath it rotate in order to shave the beard off.
Bro listen to me , about the hair remaining if you trim your long hair and then wash them out with warm water and let your sking dry for a few moments or with a towel after its when you start using the shaver so it goes well in your skin thats its job ids .....
The Philips 3000 wet/dry rotary shaver is gentle on the skin. Still, you may find that the Braun 340s-4 wet/dry foil shaver is a great option (I had one that lasted me 9 years with the same "cassette" = head foil/cutter), the wet shaving mode with the Braun is much closer and smoother, giving you an exceptionally definition in your daily shave. It's generally known that foil shavers can be more gentle on the skin than rotary shavers, saying this, I own a Philips 3000 (three years old) and so far it gives me a close and irritation-free shave, recently I purchased again a Braun 340s-4 foil shaver as from the experience I had with the first one I bought, I can say, the Braun is a winner 100% for a daily shave.
Hmm would be too tedious for me if I´m honest with you. I´d rather just trim my hair with a hairclipper and then do a wet shave. Or get something like a skullshaver.
My X3001/00 has no battery charge indicator, so I never know exactly if I can finish shaving. I always have to remember to recharge it before it's too late)
in this case, buy a second shaver (try a Braun foil shaver) as a backup if your Philip shaver runs out of power, I have both Braun series 3 330 dry foil mains/rechargeable shavers, in case my Philips stops for lack of power ........ today for the first time, I used my Philps 3000 wet/dry rotary shaver in the "wet mode", with shaving gel ............ !wow!!! I never expected a clean, smooth, close and very clean shave with the Philips rotary shave using shaving gel and water...... as normally I just "dry shave" splashing some "pre-electric lotion" before each shave, and the results have been wonderful all the time I use the shaver in this dry shave mode. Still, today I got some "Gillette sensitive shaving gel" and the results just were so good that I will use this Philips 3000 wet/dry shaver just on the wet shaving mode and I will keep the Braun 3 330 dry foil shaver just with the pre-electric lotion for a backup.....
Is there a specific time you should recharge the battery . Just got my second one , first one the batteries seem to have failed over time. If you leave it on charge for extended periods like overnight does this damage the batteries.
I ordered the Phillips 3000 shaver and pleased with this product. What I find is I can't charge it !! tried several times, Can someone help ? Tried looking at Utube but charging was not mentioned. Thanks
You can´t charge it?! Like what happens when you plug the power cord in? Nothing? If so, it sounds to me like its a faulty product. Have you tried out to reach to Philips customer support yet?
@@wunschgetreu-reviewsmadein195 Tku for taking the time. I want to get one for to shave the skull, but, I can´t find one (pretty new on the subject). Tks!! and Merry holidays.
Sir I'm from India, please help to buy I have only 2 options available here 3000 and 5000 series(currently in India 5000 is out of stock). Sir according to you which one give close shave and run smoothly in dry ? So should I wait for 5000 ? Please help me....
give a try to the Philips 3000 rotary wet/dry shaver, you can use it in "dry mode" but get a pre-electric lotion so you can get a much closer, smoother and cleaner shave with "0" irritation, or if you prefer, give it a go with foam, gel or shaving oil that also can be used as a pre-electric shaving oil, you won't regret it.

What is your recommend

great video (shaver is also great, insane value)
I just ordered one.

Hi. Nice review. One question. The circular movements should be done clock wise or anti clockwise? Please let me know. Thank you.

Do you mean it gets better that way? Dont know if I understood that correctly.
I do get razor bumps from manual razor can I get skin irritation from this
You could, yes. But You´d have to try it out first to find out for sure. It is pretty comfortable on the Skin imo.

You should charge it when its near empty. If you keep it plugged in all the time it could impact the battery performance over time.

Kinda but its way too tedious with it imo. A skull shaver or just a razor blade would be more comfy if u ask me.

Can't you just open the head and rinse it with water? Why did you wash it with the head closed?
Yea you can open it and rinse it with water. We had the dry version only and were a bit too careful there :D
No mains operation? That's a major drawback.
Yeah :(
Give me corded anyday
