There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
I've been wanting an electric shaver for years, and thought the price on this one was great. If I'd bought it for the RRP I'd be in tears right now. It's just taken me over 20 minutes of scraping with this weak machine to get what was once a 30 second job with my hair clippers.
I started with a lathered foam, in the shower - I was essentially just rolling the metal foil over my face with no effect at all. I then washed out all the foam and started again. It was better but, even after washing the head out every 5 seconds, I was making very slow progress. Finished the shower looking like a drunk Edward Scissorhands had just attacked my face, only to spend another 5 mins painfully finishing off, once dry.
I'm now red raw, the best part of £60 worse off, and still finding unshaved areas on my face.
Very disappointed. Such a shame as I was really looking forward to these.
Side note (nothing to do with the item and has in no way affected the review): the delivery driver left my parcel propped up against my door on a busy street! If it wasn't for a good neighbour, I'd have never received my shaver... on second thoughts, maybe he/she was trying to do me a favour!
How can you sell this as a shaver when it simply doesn’t cut as one is intended
This item should be reported for false claims and advertising, Amazon should remove this item from the “shaving” section
Easily the worst purchase I’ve made this year, please don’t waste your money on this rubbish, you’d be better off flushing the money down the toilet
Terrible product and terrible results
They say "Close shave, smooth skin, faster shaving with great skin comfort". Well, you can see from my pics that wasn't comfortable at all and it's been 3 days and my skin is still very bad. I spent over 30min to shave, so not faster! "Wet or dry" I started dry but wasn't efficient so I put some lotion and got better but still over 30min to finish, so "efficiency & skin comfort" shouldn't be words to define this. "More hair into the cutting parts". If you look through my pics you can see that I'm not hairy at all and if I need to spend over 30min every time I need to shave, better to just grab some blades from Boots.

The blade area does get a little hot though after using it for about 5 minutes and there is very minor dryness and irritation after using it but not much more than a wet razor shave and nothing that would prevent me from using it again.
For sensitive skin users like myself I would recommend this shaver if you are looking for a convenient shaver without having to wet your face and lather up. But I would recommend using an after shave balm to help cool and moisturise the skin afterwards.
I have tried it dry, I have tried it wet with shaving gel. After 10 minutes of shaving with the S3 I can drag a conventional wet razor across my face and feel it cutting the stubble that the S3 has left behind.
I see amongst the reviews that some people are delighted with it, and that’s great. But we are all different and if like me you’ve struggled with electric shavers in the past then the S3 is unlikely to give you the shave you crave.
It seems to me that the basic argument remains. With the foil between the blade and your skin it is never going to shave as well as a razor. I've given it 2 stars as it may have a place in the overnight travel bag for convenience but I can get much better results with a razor and in less time. I still don’t have the money, but even if I did, I wouldn’t be buying the company.
