Philips Norelco SensoTouch 3D electric razor review
The Philips Norelco SensoTouch 3D Wet/Dry Electric for men is a versatile shaver and is able to work in both dry and wet conditions with or without shaving gel. The 3D GyroFlex system allows the 3 dual blade independently pivoting shaver heads to work together and hug the contours of your face. Precision lift and cut action provides close shaves and even works great for sensitive skin.
The SensoTouch 3D electric razor can also be purchased with a 1 or 3 speed Jet Clean System that will double as a cradle with the 1280X/42 or 1250X/42 variety. The 1280X/42 comes with a Chromed finish 5 level battery indicator and a 3 setting Jet Clean System while the 1250X/42 comes with a 3 level battery indicator, Black finish and a 1 setting Jet Clean System. The 1250 line gives a slightly shorter usage time at 50 min/17 days vs 60 min/20 days on the 1280/1290. The Jet Clean system cleans, lubricates, and charges the SensoTouch Razor.
Now to the nitty gritty. It is recommended that you replace your shaving head unit annually, RQ12 replacement heads are a bit expensive at $54.99 but at least you get all 3 heads and getting rid of your old worn down shaving head unit is a snap. I recommend rinsing the SensoTouch 3d after each use to keep the shaver efficient and extend it’s life (each of the 3 collection chambers should be rinsed individually) otherwise it tends to get clogged not to mention you may find you will leak hair dust everywhere if the unit is laid on it’s side.
