PHILIPS Series 3000 Electric Shaver for Men - 3800 Cordless Wet & Dry, 5‑Direction Pivot, 60min Runtime

The PHILIPS Series 3000 Electric Shaver is a cordless wet & dry men’s shaver with 5-directional pivoting heads, 27 ComfortCut blades, a pop-up trimmer, and up to 60 minutes of runtime on a 1-hour charge.

Designed to follow facial contours, the Philips Shaver 3800 (Series 3000) delivers a close, comfortable shave whether you prefer to shave dry or with gel and foam in the shower. Its multi-directional head and floating cutting system keep blade contact consistent across chin, jawline and neck, while the included pop-up trimmer helps tidy mustaches and sideburns. The package includes the shaver, a travel pouch, power cord and protective cap — a compact kit for home and travel grooming.

How does the shaver adapt to different face shapes and angles?

The Series 3000 uses a 5-directional pivot mechanism combined with flexing and floating movement so the shaver head maintains gentle contact across complex contours. That reduces missed spots and minimizes pressure points for a smoother result.

• Five-directional pivot for adaptive angle alignment
• Floating heads to follow jawline and neck curves
• Rounded blade caps to glide across skin without tugging

Can I use this shaver in the shower or with shaving gel?

Yes — the shaver is rated for both wet and dry use, so you can shave dry, apply foam or gel, or use it while showering. Its sealed design lets you rinse the head under running water for simple cleaning after wet shaves.

• Wet and dry compatibility for flexible routines
• Waterwashable head for fast rinsing under the tap
• Ergonomic anti-slip handle for secure grip when wet

What are the battery life and charging options?

The built-in Li-ion battery powers approximately 60 minutes of cordless shaving after a full one-hour charge. If you’re in a hurry, a quick 5-minute charge provides enough energy for a single shave.

• 60 minutes runtime per 1-hour full charge (about 20 shaves)
• 5-minute quick-charge for one emergency shave
• Cordless operation only — included power cord for charging

How do I maintain and finish grooming with this shaver?

Maintenance is straightforward: open the head with a single touch and rinse under water. The integrated pop-up trimmer lets you finish mustaches and sideburns without switching tools, and self-sharpening blades reduce blade replacement needs.

• One-touch open mechanism for easy rinsing and cleaning
• Pop-up trimmer for detailing facial hair and edges
• 27 ComfortCut self-sharpening blades for consistent cutting

Who is this for? The PHILIPS Series 3000 is aimed at men seeking a reliable, travel-friendly electric shaver that balances close shaving with skin comfort. It suits everyday shavers who value versatility — those who switch between dry convenience and wet, gel-assisted comfort — and anyone who wants simple cleaning and a built-in trimmer for quick touch-ups. If you need a straightforward cordless shaver that handles contours well and offers solid battery life without complicated settings, this model is an efficient choice.
