Review: Good for a quick, close shave - Having come from a blade and foam shave, I wanted something without all the hassle of washing, lathering, washing again etc. Tried a cheaper Chinese make at first, but returned that due to poor battery life. Chose this Philip's, and managed to get it on offer, roughly half the price as on the Philip's website. Who would pay £180 for a shaver?? Anyway, great packaging, all cardboard and recyclable. Came with a full charge indicated on the LED panel, which is one colour (until the battery needs recharging, which then turns to red). The panel shows battery level, in bars, cleaning reminder, and travel lock indicator. Also included was a hard, fabric covered travel case and a tiny brush for cleaning. No cover for the three heads, though. The shaver is quiet, and does appear underpowered going by the noise it makes. However, with one pass, it shaved through two day's stubble with ease. Yes, you'll have to go over areas more than once for the closest shave, but it's easy to get an interview-ready shave with just a pass. The three heads move independently, following the contour of your face and neck. Don't press too hard, just let the blades do their job and you wont suffer a red throat. Use the built in, pop up trimmer to shape your sideburns, and give it all a quick rinse under the tap to clean it. Alternatively, you can shave wet or with lather. If you do use lather, battery life is slightly reduced due to the blades working harder, and make sure you rinse the heads during your shave to get rid of clogging soap. Feels good in the hand, and is a good weight. Well balanced, I never once accidentally turned the shaver off. For me, the full charge lasted around 8 or 9 days, and it was fully recharged in an hour. A shaver specific 2 pin adaptor is supplied. You're told not to shave with it plugged in, but a 5 minute charge is sufficient for a full shave, if it's needed quickly. All in all, a better buy than the cheaper Chinese brands, although at around twice the price when bought on offer. A two year warranty is available upon registration.
Review: Gentle and Effective - It is so far so good. Gentler than my Philips Series 3000 Dry and very effective with a wet shave. The cleaning station (separate purchase) is a nice way to keep it clean and lubricated. It's a cool package (the pouch looks cool and well made), with my only complain being the lack of a cover for the shaver heads (available for purchase separately). One thing I don't like about it is that most of the 'back' of the handle, where the pop-up trimmer is, is covered in specifications text, which destroys the aesthetics a bit. Very cool and functional design as I've come to expect from Philips, though.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does this come with a charger? it doesn’t say if it does or not**
A: Hi there, thanks for your question. Like mentioned before me, the 5000 series Dry and Wet Electric shaver does come with its own charger. I hope this helps! Kind regards, Geoffrey

**Q: What material(s) are the blades made of?**
A: According to the manufacturer info they are steel, not titanium.

**Q: Does it come with an electric plug in lead**
A: No !! You need an adapter if you want to plug it into a 240v 3 pin Socket

**Q: Is the shave really close  as close as a razorblade .the ones i have used i need to shave again with a blade**
A: Probably not quite up to a new blade in a wet razor. However I was pleasantly surprised how close to a wet shave it was…..Motor sounded ‘weedy’ but worked well , as did the charge .

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best shaver I have ever owned, shame it doesn't charge on my shaver sockets...
*by A***R on 13 September 2022*

I ordered two of those because the first one would not charge... so I thought. As I plugged my new shaver in my shaver socket, the led lights on the shaver continuously alternated between one orange bar and all leds lit in white. There was no mention about what this meant in the shaver manual or online (of course!). I persisted and tried charging it for several hours but clearly it was not charging. In the end I thought it was defective so I returned it and ordered a replacement. The replacement arrived and same problem. Surely this was no coincidence. Although my old Philips electric charged fine on my shaver socket I thought I would try another shaver socket and same problem. In the end I got a European adapter, tried charging the new shaver on a regular 13A power socket and bingo: this time it charged fine. Long story short my shaver sockets which work fine for our family electric toothbrushes and my old Philips shaver appear not to be powerful enough to charge this new shaver. I wished they had mentioned this potential issue in the manual which is just a bunch of pictograms with no text (Philips, we can read you know!?). It might charge fine on other shaver sockets; but it certainly was not having any of it on the two shaver sockets I tried. This being said this shaver shaves so amazingly well and so quickly compared to my old Philips shaver that I am happy to overlook the fact that I will need to charge it on a normal electric socket with an adaptor. Another slight gripe is the fact that the shaver will not run whilst it is charging. Not a big issue at the moment as a 5 min charge is enough to shave; but it will become an issue down the line when the battery gets old and no longer keeps its charge. As the battery cannot be changed, it will then be time to upgrade I guess. All in all 4 stars out of 5 for an excellent well priced shaver with a few caveats.
