Featuring the GyroFlex 3D system for an incredibly close and comfortable shave, the Philips Norelco 1280X/42 SensoTouch 3D Electric Razor with Jet Clean System makes shaving a pleasure, not a chore. Its innovative technology provides superior shaving performance without sacrificing skin comfort, and its Jet Clean system cleans, lubricates, and charges the razor for convenience. Powered by a lithium-ion battery for portable cordless operation, the SensoTouch 3D lets you shave wherever, however, and whenever you want.
The GyroFlex 3D system has three dynamic parts that move independently, flexing outward, pivoting around, and tilting inward, following the natural contours of your face.
Also, the UltraTrack shaving heads catch every hair in just a few strokes with three specialized shaving tracks: slots for the long hairs, channels for the longer hairs, and holes for the shortest stubble. And the Patented Super Lift&Cut dual blade system lifts hairs to cut comfortably below skin level. This razor gets the job done without leaving any stray hairs or stubble behind.
The razor charges in one hour and provides up to 60 minutes (or a maximum of 20 days) of shaving time. A display lets you know how much power remains in the lithium-ion battery and when you need to replace the shaver head.
It has an easy-to-hold handle with an ergonomic grip for optimum control. The convenient trimmer offers skin-friendly precision for your mustache, goatee, or side burns.
Why should I use an electric razor?
Using an electric razor is gentle on the skin and offers the convenience to shave whenever and wherever you want.
Why should I use a rotary razor vs. a foil razor?
Why Jet Clean?
The Jet Clean system cleans, lubricates, and charges your razor all in one spot.


Designed for use with Philips Norelco SensoTouch and arcitec razors, the Click-on Beard Styler is equipped with five length settings to give you the flexibility you need to create the look you want. Simply click-off your shaving head and click-on the Beard Styler to create more styles.
GyroFlex 3D contour-following heads adjust to every curve, minimizing pressure and irritation.
The Aquatec seal gives you the option of either a comfortable dry shave or a refreshing wet shave with shaving cream or gel.
The Jet Clean system cleans, lubricates, and charges the razor. It has three settings: Automatic for normal usage, Eco for 40% less energy usage, and Intensive for thorough cleansing.
SkinGlide shaving surface slides smoothly over your skin for a close, easy shave.

First time users: Your skin needs to adapt to the electric razor. In about two to three weeks your skin will adjust and you should be able to shave quickly with minimal to no skin irritation.
To minimize skin irritation: Thoroughly clean skin, shave with cream or gel, shave problem areas first, shave with the grain, and keep your razor clean.
To avoid hair pulling: Trim the long hair first and ensure your razor is fully charged before shaving.
To shave difficult areas: Stretch your skin, trim downwards, and apply gentle pressure.
If you clean your razor every day, you should clean and refill the canister approximately every 15 days.
For best maximum performance and closeness, replace the shaving heads every 12 months. All SensoTouch 3D razors use the RQ12 replacement head.
