Philips Norelco 3100 Shaver with ComfortCut Blades for a Close, Smooth Shave

trhagin: This is my second Norelco PT724/41 Shaver 3100 --- my wife bought me the first one about 5 months ago and I used it daily, it worked great. I could shave close in 5-6 minutes without any problem.
One night I decided to take it apart and clean under the heads - this was a big mistake on my part as I was not careful in keeping the heads separate, and got them mixed up. I soon found out that each head fits in its own spot and has to be cleaned and put back in the same spot it came from. I was unable to get the Razor put back together in the right sequence. I actually found out that it did not really need the heads clean as they were not that dirty and I was getting good shaves. So I finally got so frustrated in trying to put it back together I just threw it in the trash.

The next day I ordered another Norelco Razor 3100 and have had it for 2-3 months, use it daily, still get a close shave in 5-6 minutes without any problem -- I just rinse it in HOT water on the inside & the heads inside & outside for about one minute - let it air dry and re-charge & use the next day -- so don't try to clean the 3100 for at least 6-8 months or more and be careful when you take it...

Joel B: I bought this back in March and used it for the first time today. Now I haven't used an electric shaver since my time in the Army which was quite some time ago, so I'm comparing it the the old clunky loud electric shavers that they used to make. This thing purrs like a kitten compared to the older ones and it's comfortable. I don't know what those $200 electric shavers are supposed to do that makes them worth that kind of money. I paid about $35 including shipping from a seller on here, and it seems to work flawlessly. It also shaves closely and doesn't pull. Another thing I like about it is that it has a nice color scheme for a men's product and the ones I remember you used to have to press a switch, but you only hit a button on this one. I don't know if it will say I'm a verified buyer, because for some reason the option for a review didn't show up directly on my invoice page, but I did buy it from a seller on Amazon. Thanks for reading. :-)

Jules Charpentier: I've owned a Phillips/Norelco Speed XL for over 10 years. When I went on Amazon to get replacement blades, I saw this model on sale for $30 which was the same price as replacement blades for my more expensive ($150) old razor. I ordered the new razor for backup and to see how technology had come around in over 10 years. I was disappointed in my first use as the razor didn't glide as smoothly on my skin compared to my old one, but the shave was really close compared to my old razor blades. It has a rubbery surface causing friction compared to the all metal one on my old razor. Not being happy with my purchase, I decided to read the instruction manual... To my surprise, they mention that it might take a few shaves to get your skin accustomed and if you're not happy after 3 weeks, you can return the razor for full refund. So I stuck to it and after 5 days, I hardly noticed the difference with the old but better razor. I'm very happy with the purchase, it's an unbelievable price performer for a rechargeable razor (i'm over a dozen shaves without recharging) you can clean with water and the shave is the best.

Graham Page: So far, so good. This was purchased to keep my head shaved. I got tired of using shaving cream and razor each morning. Doesn't shave as close but does the job satisfactory.

septagon: Great shaver. I tried several Norelco shavers in the past, including the old 8000 and 9000 series and the subsequent 3D-headed shavers (without the integrated trimmer). Of those, I liked the 9000 series most. But once I started buying replacement heads more recently, I found that they are no good, nowhere close to the quality of the original heads. The poor quality of Norelco's replacement heads seems to be a part of their business model. So I ended up with a couple of formerly high-end shavers that I only can equip with terrible replacement heads. Norelco essentially forced me to give up on my favorite model (9195XL) and buy a new unit. Disappointed, I considered abandoning Norelco altogether, but I do like their rotary shavers. I figured that if, from now on, I am going to need to buy a new shaver every couple of years, I'd try this basic model. I have to say that I am pleasantly surprised. This shaver works very nicely, much better than my 9195 with brand-new replacement heads. The price also is more than fair. Highly recommended.

K.Mary: We've had this for about 3 weeks and think it works pretty well. We are used to electric shavers (vs disposable razors) and we think it gives quite a good shave. It replaced a much older Norelco that was also good, but had quit working. The light weight of this new model at first felt flimsy compared to the older one, but, after using it, the lighter weight IS nice. The narrowness of where you grab the unit makes it a bit harder to hold onto compared to the older model, which was larger all around. To clean the unit, you flip open the top and the top remains attached - we don't like that so much, because it is just plastic and we're concerned that the hinge could break off pretty easily, and it's sort of in the way when you want to clean it - I suppose that's just a matter of getting used to it. If we get to the point of having to replace the cutting parts, we do feel they are too expensive. But, we did want this type of shaver, and among those we looked at, believe this was our best option. Overall, for the price, convenience, and how close it shaves, we recommend it.
