It’s great for the price, but I’ve found it can cause some burn when trying to get a close shave.

User evaluation Philips Norelco
CareTouch, Rechargeable Wet & Dry Shaver with Pop-Up Trimmer, S3210/51 - Ash gold
Model:S3210/51
SKU:6442207
Summary report:
Product meets or exceeds described functions. High quality lite unit.
Detailed results:
This latest unit is the same size as the last one I received and is made in Indonesia. It uses a lithium battery and charges very quickly (less than 40 minutes). Shaves fine and is able to grab all hairs that escape other electric razors. Its motor speed is a little slower than the 3552 but strong enough to get the job done. Still my favorite brand for the last 5 decades.
This is a wet dry unit with an extremely flexible head.

This Phillip shaver once you get it out of the box you will notice how light it is. The rubber grips on the side makes this easy to hold even when wet. I shaved my head with this thing and I was quite surprised how well it did. The results was pretty close to the regular shaving blade. I got the same results also on my chest and belly. Cleaning is very easy, just pop open the blade cover with the press of a button and rinse it off.
This shaver also has a pop up trimmer and honestly it should not be there. I gave it a try and it did horrible, it barely cut my beard when I tried to shape it. Oh and don't shave your armpits with this you will get cut at least I did lol. Overall this shaver does a good job and in my opinion it gives me better shave than the 5000 series that I own. In the box you get the shaver, carrying pouch, a blade cover, charger and manuals.

Smooth, comfortable wet & dry shaver

Like a favorite, comfy pair of shoes, Norelco S3210 CareTouch Rechargeable Wet & Dry Shaver with Pop-Up Trimmer is a remarkably capable shaver that sells for $55 at Best Buy. I did a double-take on the price, but it’s true.
**WHAT’S IN THE BOX**
• Shaver with rechargeable one-hour Lithium-Ion battery
• World Voltage 110-240V Charger (May require plug adapter for other countries)
• Protective cap
• Storage/travel case
• User Guide, Registration Guide, Card Inviting One Extra Year of Warranty
**THE SETUP**
Easy as can be. Plug in to fully charge. Specifications call for up to one hour of use when fully charged. Will not operate while charging – an obvious legally-mandated safety feature to prevent electrocution. When fully charged, this shaver will operate wet & dry. When wet, it can be used with a water-wet face or with shaving cream, gel or even bath or shower soap, whatever helps to we the skin and beard. A pop-up trimmer is designed to trim sideburns and errant hairs, such as hair around the ears from infrequent haircuts during the Pandemic.
A trio of LEDs shows the state of charge. When there are only about five shaving minutes remaining on the current charge, the bottom light begins to flash orange.
It can take up to an hour to fully charge from a discharged battery. A five-minute quick charge provides enough power for one shave.
After use, the cutter assembly cover pops open with a push for easy rinsing under tap water.
**PUT TO THE TEST**
One of THE simplest to evaluate product available. For this user, it was like slipping on a favorite pair of shoes after a hiatus. In my shaving experience, I have used everything from an old-fashioned single edge razor to the most modern and popular 5-blade razor. I’ve used electric shavers by Norelco, Wahl and Braun. I’ve been clean shaven and heavily bearded and everything in between.
Since the Covid-19 breakout and lockdown, I have gone from a medium length goatee and thick moustache with a wide soul patch and stubble everywhere else. My pattern is to let it go for about a week before using a trimmer to drop it back to stubble. Every few weeks, I trimmed my moustache and goatee with a conventional cordless trimmer.
And along comes this new Norelco, at a price point about ¼ the cost of the most expensive and fancy electric shavers I have used.
READ THE MANUAL! I did, even though I was already accustomed to some basic rules. Use a light touch – DON’T apply pressure; use a gentle circular pattern to pick up all the beard hairs, even those hairs growing uncooperatively in random directions. THE most important rule to follow is this – Follow directions, being even gentler than one would think would be necessary, especially for a face not accustomed to this kind of shaving. Norelco shavers come with a 45-day money-back guarantee to encourage all users to take the time for the face to become accustomed to electric shaving. Directions are included for how to obtain money-back guarantee service.
Using it is an exercise in speed and comfort. My first shave was with about a week’s growth on a dry face. Smooooooooth as silk! No irritation or burning. Even around my moustache and soul patch. With little effort and in only a few minutes, my face was as smooth as I could want for a day’s work whenever that might again happen after the current COVID-19 forced lockdown. Up popped the rotating blade cover. The blades and all the hair held inside were easily rinsed under the sink stream. And that was that.
Four days later, I wanted to try it in the shower. With a wall-mounted shower mirror for guidance, I used shower soap, not shave gel on my face. Once again, shaving was quick and easy, even a bit closer than when I shaved with a dry face. Of course, rinsing it out was even easier while in the shower. Again, there was no irritation. A plus is the non-slip material preventing it from falling out of my hands in the shower.
And that was that.
For those who prefer or are forced by nature into baldness, this shaver can also help maintain a smooth chrome-dome.
Replaceable heads are readily available and recommended to be changed annually to maintain irritation-free shaves.
**CONCLUSION**
For an almost unbelievable retail price of $55, I cannot think of how a more expensive wet & dry cordless shaver could do better. Now that I am back to having a cool Norelco wet & dry shaver, it will be easier to keep my facial hair trimmed the way I want. There is no longer a reason, other than laziness, to wait a week between shaves when it is as easy to shave as this.
In conclusion, this is a hit with me. I will park my hair trimmer except for those times when it will be easier to trim the long hairs of my sideburns and around my ears between haircuts.
**WARRANTY**
Philips Norelco provides a full two-year warranty. According to materials packed with this shaver, scanning a code will “Unlock one extra year of warranty”.

With skin sensitivity, I use Wahl detailers or any type of liners or clippers to shave my beard. Using a razor, the old school way doesn’t work with me, maybe for lining up, but not a full shave, however, I always knew I could use an electric razor and I tell you, these are the truth. They cut just as close like the liners and my face is baby face smooth. No razor needed. It’s a very simple tool and easy to clean and charges up quickly. And the electric razors are good for a year before replacing!
As far as the trimmer, I won’t use that part at all but I did shape my sideburns well with it, won’t work for lining up though, just some shaping, but that’s just my preference, the trimmer is awesome to have.

When I started growing facial hair, my dad got me a Philips Norelco shaver. That was about ten years ago. Until my new CareTouch arrived in the mail, that is the shaver I used. I of course changed the blades out a few times over the years and the battery could barely make it through a single shave in the end, but it’s a testament to the build quality of these shavers. Just like my old Norelco, this one feels well built and is versatile with the ability to shave wet or dry. I also appreciate the pop-up trimmer for sideburns. The CareTouch comes with a zipper pouch for storage and travel, which I think is much nicer than the fabric bag that came with my old one. Time will tell if the CareTouch can get me through another ten years of shaves, but I have high hopes!

The Philips Norelco CareTouch shaver S3210/51 is light, able to be used in either hand, that gives a close shave and smooth trim reliably. It holds a charge for a long time. I've had a Norelco shaver in the past that was easy to maintain such as replacing heads and cleaning, so this will last for many years, as long as it doesn't get dropped with the various parts getting scattered and lost like what happened to my last Norelco shaver.

Have been a Norelco user now since mid 1970's and this shaver is less weight likely due to battery differences and more plastic but it does work well. Not sure I like losing the ability to charge and shave simultaneously but its a trade off for Li-on cells probably. Does a good job and so far no complaints.

I bought this to replace a much older Norelco shaver. This shaver is easy to use and it just feels right in your hand. Really gives a close shave. I have always bought and liked Norelco razors and this just became my favorite. Wet feature is an added bonus.

It’s super easy to clean! Yet, the motor is not as powerful as I hoped it to be. I am not a hairy guy, so it is good enough for me. But if you have a hairy face, you should buy something more powerful.
