Philips Shaver Series 5000 with Advanced SkinIQ, Wet & Dry Men's Electric Shaver with Integrated Pop-up Trimmer & Quick Clean Pod, 60 mins Run Time - S5579/50

Sanfte Rasur

Philips have made rotary electric razors for as long as I can remember. I used to have one some years ago. More recently I have had other makes which had the traditional foil with vibrating cutter underneath. I decided to take a fresh look at Philips and was delighted when I came across this product. It is a really great razor. The head assembly and the rotating blades can all move independently in any direction, which means it adapts very well to the contours of your face. It is extremely quiet; MUCH quieter than the regular foil and cutter type of razor. It comes with a built in trimmer, which is easily extended or retracted, without having to turn the razor off and on or clip on a separate attachment. It is a breeze to clean, with every nook and cranny where hair can collect open to a quick wash under the tap after shaving. Another nice feature is the cleaning pod. Many other razors come with cleaning pods but they usually are large, cumbersome and have to be connected to power to work. Not so with this product. The cleaning pod is small and only has the cleaning fluid in it. The razor is placed in the top of the unit and the RAZOR power is used to perform the cleaning, which takes only 60 seconds. Brilliant! There is a visual indication when the fluid needs refreshing. What about the price? Well the current price on Amazon is fantastic. For under £100 you get a quality razor which is reliable, quiet and easy to clean. Above all it gives a great close shave.

Took me a bit to use a circular shaving style but the Philips gives a very good clean shave. Especially under the chin without snagging any hairs or causing bleeding. The charge on the shaver lasts a long time. When it comes time to replace the blades use the Philips branded items. I had used a cheaper alternative and the quality of the shave was very noticable. Overall a very good shaver.

I used to use a Phillips 3 series razor and am impressed by the fact that the blades keep their sharpness better than the 3 series one, although that is still only a few weeks, battery life improved too. Yes the 'On' button is in the middle of the handle, but not too hard to avoid it. Whilst it costs more than a 3 series razor, definitely worth the extra cost..

Took ages to decide to change from my trusted Braun 7 series to this phillips razor. It quiter than my old Braun. Easy to use, nice grip. I had to change my shaving style - light hands not heavy and pushing on the face, take your time and don't rushing you get a better result. The cleaning system is quicker if a bit messy but to be honest I just r clean with the brush and then run under the cold water tap. Nice carry case. Would I buy again - Yes Would I recommend - yes but be prepared to adapt your style, it is worth it.
