Philips SensoTouch 3D Electric Razor Review + Giveaway (Holiday Gift Guide Pick)

By

The world of men is a scary place, ya’ll!

Obviously I know that men grow facial hair, but dang, I had no idea of the upkeep involved and the tools required to keep those sprouts under control. Sheesh!

So all men need to check out this Philips SensoTouch 3D Electric Razor. Badly.

Philips SensoTouch 3D shaver

When this arrived the other day for me to review, firstly, I had to find a man, so I recruited my friend who volunteered her husband’s face. Bless his heart.

With the man problem taken care of, I set about learning how to use the razor. It’s a cordless razor, so I plugged it into the dock (which has suction cups), and it charged in about an hour.

Just from moving the shaver in and out of the charging dock, I could see how comfortable the grip was.

The shaver has an UltraTrack head with 3 specialized tracks: slots for normal hair, channels for long or flat laying hair, and holes for the shortest stubble on your face.

I finally handed it over to the dude, and he got busy with it.

The Gyroflex 3D contour-following heads are made to glide easily over a man’s face and neck, and since I was all up in his business watching, I could clearly see that it gave him a remarkably close shave. And he told me there was no irritation, and no catching or pulling.

Once he finished shaving, he pushed a button which popped out the precision trimmer, and then he used that to trim and line his sideburns.

You can also use this as a wet razor with shaving cream!

When shaving for the day was finished, I sent my clean-shaven guinea pig home, and I set out to use the Jet Clean feature of the razor to clean, lubricate, and re-charge it.

Jet Clean solution for electric shavers

The razor comes with a liquid cleaner, so just fill the reservoir, and replace it in the base of the unit.

Place the razor into the stand, hit the power button, and the unit takes over. The razor is lowered into the cleaning solution and the cleaning cycle lasts about 4-6 minutes.

When it’s finished, the razor is lifted back up and recharging begins. It can be left in either of the docks between uses, but when it’s fully charged, you need not keep it plugged in.

And by the way, the shaving unit does its best to help you take care of it by indicating battery level, and whether the shaving heads are blocked, need to be cleaned, or need to be replaced. There’s also a travel lock.

This is the ultimate in men’s electric razors. It’s powerful, incredibly versatile, and it has the ability to clean itself. It gets a huge thumbs up recommendation from me!

    i really like that you put it in the holder and it has a cleaning cycle that lasts tops 6 minutes thats awesome!
    cmarquez482(At)ymail(dot)com

  7. tiffany says

    There are so many features I like such as the wet/dry feature, the indicator lights, the cleansing cycle and I could go on lol.

  18. Nick D. says

    I like the fact that, not only could I shave with this razor, but I could trim my sideburns as well.

  21. Cee Love says

    I really like that the shaving stand let’s you know when the battery is low. There is so many times my husband has tried to shave in the morning only to find his razor is dead and he has to go work half shaven or use a razor that doesn’t work as well. Not that his razor is super awesome, but if I won this he would be getting the best xmas present ever!

  25. Kristian F says

    I am so looking forward to the self-cleaning. Considering my husband is lazy and I am stuck with the maintenance, I really like this aspect!

  30. kathy pease says

    i love that it indicates battery level, and whether the shaving heads are blocked, need to be cleaned, or need to be replaced

  35. Jennifer Anderson says

    all i can say is what is there not to like! lol but i really do like the self cleaning! also the precision trimmer so you don’t have to have a seperate shaver for that.

  39. Katie B says

    I think it’s amazing that there is a precision trimmer for side burns! My husband would love that!

  40. Jennifer J says

    My husband has super sensitive skin, and it gets irritated quite easily, so I like that this doesn’t pull or tug the skin and irritate it. Thanks!!

  46. mary gardner says

    i like that it gives a close shave with no irritation, and no catching or pulling

    marygardner49 at aol dot com

  47. Emory Brooks says

    I love the fact that I could use this razor as a wet razor with shaving cream and that the cleaning cycle only takes 4-6 minutes. I think this would work out well with my lifestyle.

  48. addrienne mertens says

    i like the self cleaning mode! ive seen some pretty nasty elec razors in my workplqce. this would solve that one! a dirty clogged razor just doesnt work!

  49. Tina Rath says

    The razor comes with a liquid cleaner, so just fill the reservoir, and replace it in the base of the unit.

  61. Becky S. says

    Are you kidding – it’s for a guy and it can clean and take care of itself – perfect!!!
    beckytag618 at gmail dot com

  64. Priscilla says

    My favorite feature is the The Gyroflex 3D contour-following heads. My husband has a very angular face, so it’s hard for him to get a close shave. Hopefully, this feature will solve the problem.

  66. Lyndsey R. says

    It’s gotta be that auto cleaning feature!! That is soooo awesome because my boyfriend is soooo lazy LOL

    lyndsey.rullman at hotmail dot com

  82. Salleefur/Jesselyn/Jesster says

    LOTS to like here – but knowing my man (and I DO!) the Jet Clean Feature is one that would be very much appreciated by BOTH of us!

  90. Aisling says

    I really like the cleaning feature with liquid cleaner that goes in the reservoir. DH would love this!

  96. Jill L says

    I love that it doesn’t need to be left plugged in if it’s charged. My hubby is so bad at putting things back. It would be dead all the time without this feature.

  110. Hoa Le says

    My favorite feature is the Gyroflex 3D contour-following heads.

    alittlepieceofheaven777(at)yahoo(dot)com

  111. Laurie Pearson says

    I like 2 things about it (well actually all things about it) specifically the 3D head and that it is self cleaning. πŸ™‚

  112. Debbie C says

    The really close shave is what I like most about it. Scratchy stubble on a guy bothers me.

    chrisdeglen(at)gmail(dot)com

  123. syndel Valle says

    I love that it cleans itself!! That’s just awesome! I hope to win this for my amazing hubby!!

  132. Jennifer @ Mom Spotted says

    My father could really use this! I love the built in cleaning so I know it’s getting done!

  141. Jennae says

    I love the idea of a built-in cleaning reservoir and that you can use it for wet and dry shaving. I dropped and broke my husband’s last shaver, so I would LOVE to win this for him. I’d be redeeming myself πŸ™‚

  150. Heather Lovell says

    I love that you can use it as a wet razor with shaving cream, I have not seen that before. This would be wonderful to win.

  152. carol y l says

    Using it wet would be nice for hubby because he is used to shaving wet.
    spcale at yahoo dot com.

  158. Geoff K says

    I love that you can use it as a wet razor with shaving cream/gel – that’s awesome! I often find the shaving lotions that can be used with electric razors to be drying and irritating, so that’s a huge bonus. Thanks!

  160. Deborah Ball says

    This shaver is awesome. I would love to win one for my husband. He shaves his head bald because there is not much hair left all over. He is always wanting a shaver that would do the job and has yet to find one. I know this one would elevate our need to constantly buy razor blade refills. I do believe the feature my husband would like the most is that you can use the Philips SensoTouch 3D Electric Razor with water and shaving lotion.

  161. Alyssa says

    I love the fact that it keeps track of just about everything on the base, especially when it needs to be cleaned always a helpful reminder!

  163. Nicole says

    My husband would love this razor and the fact that it is so easy to care for because of the self-cleaning feature.

  167. Geri S says

    I have seen other say other product say they cause minimize irritation, but when you get it home its just not true. Philips is a GREAT!!! brand and for someone with sensitive skin like my son the fact that is has a smooth, low-friction SkinGlide to minimize irritation is AWESOME!!!

  171. Rochelle says

    My favorite feature is the Aquatec seal for comfortable dry & refreshing wet shaves. Thanks!

  173. tawny says

    My favorite feature: “3 specialized tracks: slots for normal hair, channels for long or flat laying hair, and holes for the shortest stubble on your face.” My husband has such difficulties getting a good (bloodless) shave because of all his different coursed hairs.

  174. jackie fernandez says

    I think every feature it has would be WONDERFUL for my grandson who is always shaving and trying hard to shape a thin beard. Sometimes we wonder if he is a wolf everytime we hear the buzzing. This would be so perfect for him. To finally get a great shave and shape his beard and keep the razor clean.

  176. Aidensmom says

    I am in love with the entire piece of equipment, I have always used mens razors and I have an electric razor for wome but after seeing this I might have to have this Senseo Touch! The differen t heads is so clever to catch the hairs from all directional growth s. Genius I want this!!!!!

  179. Alicia S. says

    I think the turn it upside down in the base for cleaning feature is the coolest!! I want a razor for me that does that!!

  181. Amylynn H says

    I think the fact that the tester said there was no irritation or pulling would be great for my sensitive skinned hubby! He’s tried razors that he said yanked the hair out and caused irritation.

  188. Lisa Calandrino says

    Ok, the dock has suction cups +#1, its very cool that you just put it in the solution and it cleans itself +#2 and #3 is that not only is it cordless, but its very quickly chargeable and REchargeable!

  203. Cheryl Free says

    I’m most excited about not having to keep it plugged it once it’s fully charged γƒ… *Thanks* for the giveaway!

  211. david basile says

    that it gives a close clean shave with no iritation ihave tried a few over the years not have worked well like the sonicare brand i use there toothbrush

  217. Mary Beth Elderton says

    I like that it is cordless and can be used either wet or dry, but my favorite feature is the trimmer–no need for two separate devices.

  219. Suzanne K says

    I love all the indicators that help you take good care of it, to make sure it will last a long time and work well!

  227. Kristy Hostetler says

    The Jet Clean Feature, for sure!! Hubby wouldn’t have to worry about getting every nook and cranny cleaned out, and he’s soooo hairy it becomes a pain in the butt every day!

  237. Gladys Parker says

    The Gyroflex 3D contour-following heads because my oldest son has cp and cannot get a close shave, this looks extra easy to follow his contours to make that close shave possible. The auto clean and easy switch to trimmer are also very helpful!

  245. Amy Zachek says

    I’m most excited about the self-cleaning function. That would save my boyfriend a lot of time in the mornings!

  249. Stefanie Elysse Hurtado says

    I love that it tells you if the shaver is blocked and needs cleaning. How cool is that!

  254. elaine says

    i’d love to win this for my hubby to be! i think he would love how easy it is to use and clean!

  257. kristi says

    my favorite feature is that my dad would jump up and down if he unwrapped an electric razor he could use in the shower with his new shower mirror πŸ™‚

  259. Samantha says

    I love love love that it cleans itself! One less thing I have to do for my first child…aka my husband! Lol!

  262. Anita Yancey says

    I am most excited about the fact that it has the ability to clean itself. I also like that it’s cordless.

  264. Kathryn Costa says

    I like the fact that it has a battery level indicator. My husband is forever forgetting to charge his razor so this would be a huge help to him. katbirdfl (at) gmail (dot) com

  265. karen M says

    I like that it is cordless and the charger has suction cups on the bottom to keep if from slipping across the counter, and that it is self cleaning

  282. Steve Stone says

    lights that indicating battery level, and whether the shaving heads are blocked, need to be cleaned, or need to be replaced cool features thanks

  298. The Knapps says

    I love the cleaning cycle…my husband hates having to try and clean these shavers out so that’s a great feature!

  301. Marcy Bock says

    Love the contoured head, my dad hasnt used electric shavers for years because they dont get close enough along curves- this looks like it would work well for that.

  315. clynsg says

    Although I would not be the one using it, the ease of cleaning and the notification of when various things needed to be done (my grandson would probably need that) would be the best things.

  317. Valerie A Serna says

    My husband would really love this shaving system mostly because of the GyroFlex 3D system. He’s a big guy and really struggles with getting a close shave all over his chin, especially when he tries to groom his goatee. He cannot seem to keep the goatee shaped the right way and always finds it difficult to match the left and right sides of his chin area. This would be an amazing gift for him!

    Valerie(dot)Serna(at)earthlink(dot)net

  321. trishden says

    Hello, my most favorite feature of the razor is the Jet Clean feature. Thanks for a great giveaway!

  330. Cindy Ray says

    I like best that it can clean itself that is so awesome πŸ™‚

    green_eyed_princesss at msn dot com

  331. Mother Mayhem says

    WOWZERS. I would love for Cap’n Chaos to try this, but he insists on using a razor that his dad had. The kind with the double-sided razors blade that you drop in. UGH.

  336. Suzanne Kaiser says

    I’m excited about the trimmer. Hopefully this will allow my husband to tame his wild mustache!

  337. Pauline Milner says

    I like that you can use it as a wet razor with shaving cream as my Husband prefers to shave with shaving cream.

    Thanks for the great giveaway opportunity. >Pauline

    dod@rogers.com

  338. Leslie Guenther says

    The no irritation your guy received. My husband will be deployed while using this and he is always in a hurry to the point his face is breaking out from his quick shave. I would love for him to try this.

  339. Shannon Egan says

    I’m not so sure, being a woman. lol But I think my fiance’ would most like the fact that you can also use it as a wet shaver as well!

  343. Sagar says

    This is something I always wanted. I am desperately in need of the SensoTouch 3D shaver – please send it to me!!!

    • Sagar says

      In excitement, I missed one point: I like the 360 degree cleaning action of this shaver. Apart from being washable, ability to deep-cut and being soft on the skin, this is an absolutely necessary accessory that today’s men should have.

  344. Grr says

    Thanks for your giveaway.

    Of all the features, I’m excited about Gyroflex 3D contour-following heads are made to glide easily over a man’s face and neck, especially the neck, as I usually end up in cuts or red sores…..

    Please count me in,

    Thanks,
    Grr

  348. Megan holland says

    I think it’s neat it doesn’t leave behind the bits of hair. My boyfriend hates cleaning it up after he shaves!

  355. Margaret Smith says

    I love the precision trimmer the best. This would be perfect for my husband to closely trim his mustache and close cut beard that he grows on and off.
    Thanks so much.
    rickpeggysmith(at)aol(dot)com

  362. Garrett says

    I have to say. Out of all the electronic razors that i have looked into this product looks to be the best.

  367. Joseph Stowell says

    I would like to win the Philips Norelco SenseoTouch 3D Electric Shaver because I think the detachable head for cleaning is a great idea, but more than that, the Jet Clean system that is included would keep the cutting heads clean and lubricated. Thanks for having this giveaway!

  372. D Schmidt says

    I really like UltraTrack head with 3 specialized tracks, I imagine this gives a fantastically close shave

  373. Jessica says

    I’m excited that it cleans itself. This would be for my husband, who usually doesn’t think of things like cleaning his razor when he is getting ready in the morning:)

  374. Janine Ecofrugal says

    I like the sound of the precision trimmer! It’ll help him maintain his sideburns and the back of his neck between haircuts!

  380. Schmidty says

    The self cleaning feature is perfect for my averse-to-cleaning 22 year old son. This razor would be perfect for him!

  381. Tepe Rodrigo says

    I love the self-cleaning feature – no more trying to brush all that hair dust out yourself.

  383. apple blossom says

    my hubby had one with the trimmer before but his new one doesn’t have that feature. I’m sure he’d love it if I won this for that feature.

    ABreading4fun [at] gmail [dot] com

  392. Kay M says

    I love that it has all the indicators to tell you when it needs charged or when something is blocked or needs to be cleaned. I also liked the close shave in the picture you posted. My husband says he doesnt like these type razors because they don’t shave close enough…would be nice to try this one out!

  393. Kelly D says

    I am most excited about the Gyroflex 3D contour-following heads, because my husband would like the comfort

  394. Kristyn Martin says

    The Jet Clean feature is my favorite! I desperately need one of these for my hubby! Thanks for the chance.

  399. Ann F says

    My husband will like the Philips SensoTouch 3D Electric Razor’s quick charge 1 hour battery

    abfantom at yahoo dot com

  401. veronica says

    The razor is sleek, simple and stylish. The best feature is that it notifies you when the heads need to be replaced.

  412. Dan says

    Most impressive – cleaning stand
    Least impressive – cleaning stand

    Probably stems from the fact that I use a wet/dry version.

  416. Susan says

    The Gyroflex 3D contour-following heads—and the 3 different tracks for different types of hair. Hubby always complains that there are always those few irritating hairs that “get away.” And he totally needs a new razor, his old one is worn out. This sounds like it would be awesome!

  419. Margaret Smith says

    I’m most excited that this is cordless and the battery level can been seen.
    Thanks so much.

  420. dannyscotland says

    I really like that it doesn’t have to stay plugged in, with wires and cords all over the bathroom (like my husband has now). I also like the cleaning feature, that is really cool!

  421. Angie says

    Most excited about the close shave without the tugging (thinking this would be great for my sister who is currently taking blood thinners and isn’t supposed to use a razor!)

  428. Christina Gould says

    I’m most excited about these features: …the shaving unit indicates battery level, and whether the shaving heads are blocked, need to be cleaned, or need to be replaced.

    Thanks for the giveaway!
