I haven't used what used to be known as a Philishave rotary shaver since the seventies and relied on wet shaving daily. What an improvement this Philips S5000 series shaver is on past products. The shaver is a nice design, and has an ergonomically shaped sturdy handle, with a small integrated screen to show battery level and cleaning reminder, along with charging status. Being battery powered, and therefore wire free, makes it easy to handle and pack for a holiday. It has enough power when in use and cuts through my beard growth well. It is easy to charge, with a reasonably short charging time, 5 minutes for a quick turnaround or 1 hour for longer use. In the months I have had it I have only had to charge it twice, but I do alternate it with a wet razor. I found it light but firm in the hand and gives a reasonably close smooth shave, but not as close as a wet shave obviously. It will shave a couple of days growth with no problem. It is straightforward to clean, just pop the head open and run under a tap. The shaver head carrier is a light plastic tray and may fall out if shaken hard. It is just as easy to pop back in, it has a metal hinge. It is also easy to press the on/off switch with a thumb in use, but just press it again and away you go. I would have liked a proper carrying pouch instead of a cheap foam cover. My only real gripe is that I found the sideburn trimmer is not very good, and you have to change the head to use it, as it is not integrated. I went against my usual habits and actually read the owners manual, which had one or two handy tips which may make a difference in how you use it. I had to supply a two pin plug adapter for the charging lead and there is no protective cover for the head supplied. Overall, I am pleased with it and will continue to use it.

Quick delivery, good quality shaver, easy to use & clean, provides excellent close shave, re charge only necessary about every few weeks depending on use. Reasonably priced. Recommended.

Bought it for my husband for his birthday . He was using previously regular shaving items( blade) and always ended up like someone tried to attack him...bloody...It wasn't nice at all. So I decided that even if it is a bit more pricey will give it a try to help him.( we do everything for our loved ones). Arrived absolutely without any issues . It has a soft pouch travel case and a precision trimmer as well. It is not too heavy so easy to handle and use even for an older person. The result: O WOW!!!! Amazing results and very easy to clean under the running water. Sadly he dropped it on a hard floor(concrete) as he is not 18 anymore , but here comes the surprise : NOT even a scratch and perfectly working. He is using it now every 2 days and it last quite a while after charging. Overall an Excellent product and it worth every penny. Will buy it again when this one dies.

Has lovely floating heads making for a comfortable shave and easy to clean. The trimmer is a nice size and overall it’s nice shaver

I am very please with my new shaver. I bought it to replace my previous one which was a Braun. I had had Philips shavers in the past but got the Braun as it was recommended by Which, but I never liked it. My new Philips suits me much better. It is more comfortable on my face. The charge lasts longer which is very convenient. The only downside is that it takes longer to shave than my previous shaver, but, it does shave more closely if I am patient!

A great value Wet and Dry Shaver, been using for tears but watch out for fakes. Not cheap and spare blades expensive

An OK item but it's important to know that the '2 year blade life' is well over stated in my experience. I was bought this for xmas in 2024 and found after six months I could only get a decent shave if I used it as a wet razor with gel. Using it as a dry shaver became ineffective. Six months further on it wasn't even effective using it wet so I have bought some replacement (genuine Philips) blades. They are not cheap coming in at around £25 a set. It may of course depend on your type of beard but please note this if planning to purchase this or any other Philips shaver that utilises the same heads. When this fails I don't think I will be buying Philips again but will look to Braun or other alternatives.
