Norelco Electric Shaver 3000 Series S3242/90 Ash Gold — Wet/Dry, 5D Flex Head, 60‑Min Battery

The Philips Norelco Shaver 3000 Series S3242/90 is a wet-and-dry electric razor with 27 self-sharpening blades and a 5D flexible head designed to deliver a close, comfortable shave with up to 60 minutes of cordless use.

Engineered by Norelco, this compact shaver combines corrosion-resistant hypoallergenic steel blades with a multi-directional head for consistent contact across facial contours. The unit supports both dry shaving and wet shaving with gel or foam, is fully washable for quick cleaning, and charges via USB-A for travel convenience. Included accessories are a protective cap and a travel pouch so the shaver is ready for everyday use or trips.

How does the 5D Flex Head improve shaving comfort?

The 5D Flex Head pivots and tilts in five directions to follow chin, jawline, and neck curves, maintaining steady blade-to-skin contact without tugging. That dynamic movement helps reduce missed hairs and limits the need to press hard, which lowers the chance of irritation.

• Five-directional movement for smoother contour tracking
• Even pressure distribution to avoid nicks and pulls
• Designed to work with sensitive skin thanks to hypoallergenic steel blades

What makes the blades last and stay sharp?

The shaver uses 27 self-sharpening ComfortCut blades made from corrosion-resistant steel, engineered to keep cutting performance consistent over time. Self-sharpening action means the edges maintain their cutting geometry with normal use, reducing the need for frequent replacement heads.

• 27 ComfortCut blades for uniform cutting across the foils
• Self-sharpening design advertised to perform like new for up to two years
• Hypoallergenic steel resists corrosion and helps minimize skin reactions

Can I use this shaver in the shower or with creams?

Yes — the shaver is rated for wet and dry operation, so you can shave dry or use it with gel, foam, or under running water. Its fully washable design makes rinsing and maintenance straightforward after a wet session.

• Wet and dry certified for flexible grooming routines
• Fully washable head for easy cleaning under the tap
• Works with gels and foams for a smoother, more cushioned shave

How long does the battery last and how do I charge it?

A single one-hour charge delivers up to 60 minutes of cordless shaving time, suitable for multiple shaves between charges. The shaver charges via a USB-A cable, which makes it easy to power from a wall adapter, laptop, or portable battery pack; note that a wall adapter is not included.

• 60 minutes runtime from a 1-hour charge
• USB-A charging cable included for versatile charging options
• Travel-friendly charging without a bulky proprietary charger
