Philips Norelco Shaver 5300, Rechargeable Wet & Dry Shaver with Pop-Up Trimmer, S5588/81, Men

UPDATE: After using the product for a couple of months, I can confidently say that this is a great product. The battery lasts forever considering my usage. I believe, I only charged it twice so far but I had many shaves. Please keep in mind that if you don't clean the blades, it'll lose effectiveness! Since it's washable, I suggest at least once a week, wash the blades and let it dry. I still like the dry shaving more and my skin got used to the machine, but you have the option of wet shave. I will update again if I see something really bad.I was not expecting such a great quality, to be honest. I've been using palm shavers for my head, and I shave like 2-3 times a week. Every time I used my shaver, which is an affordable brand that I got from Amazon, I had skin burn. It doesn't bother too much but after shaving with Philips, I was so mad at myself for not buying it earlier.The design is very modern and useful. I liked the material. I have not tested the longevity of the battery but from other reviews, I got the feeling that it lasts long enough. I had a dry shave and it was veeery smooth. Cleaning the blades was pretty easy.One of the cons I noticed was that it left hair under my chin and I had to go over and over. It caused a little skin irritation. That might be because I didn't shave with the right angle but I'll keep an eye on it. Another thing is I strongly suggest you shave for the first time when you'll stay inside. It's because your skin will need to adjust to the new shaver so it may get more red than usual.I'm very happy with this purchase and shaved my head very easily. I almost look like a sphynx cat or a lantern visible during the day lol. I strongly recommend this product to everyone.

This Philips Norelco Shaver is a top-notch grooming tool that delivers a smooth and comfortable shave.

Overall, the Philips Norelco Shaver is a reliable and efficient option for anyone looking to upgrade their shaving routine.

I've been averse to electric shavers because they are, traditionally, not all that convenient to keep clean and they tended not to do a great job for me. I finally broke down and got this one for a few reasons.First, you're supposed to be able to use this in the shower - which I like to do. This shaver allows you to do that in spades. You can even use it with shaving cream - which I did. On top of that, you can clean the whole thing out after each use easy peasy under the shower head. Once in a while, you'll want to remove the blades, but if you're diligent that shouldn't be necessary too often.My only real complaint is that it bit me a couple times. Also, this kind of shaver doesn't handle overgrown beard too well - but that's just normal. Use it daily and that doesn't happen. Another issue I had was that it was difficult for me not to mow over areas I didn't want to touch. It's a little hard to see if you're not just taking everything off, but I think with some practice I can reign this in.Really, I bought this so it could whittle things down so I can use my razor and that's exactly what it did. Could you just use this to shave? Sure. Electrics just don't get down to it the way I like.

I originally purchased this electric razor to touch up my face in-between shaving with a razor blade and shaving cream because I figured that it wouldn't cut as close as a razor. I've been convinced otherwise.When I first switched this razor on, the quietness of it made me immediately think it would be a subpar shave...I couldn't have been more wrong.I hadn't shaved for days, so my stubble was pretty coarse and I worried that this razor would pull my whiskers for a painful shave. Nope, not at all. The heads glided across my face with ease, so much so that I thought I had not taken off some clear barely visible plastic on the heads. When I touched my face where I had just shaved, I literally said WOW out loud!PROS:- Shaves as close as a blade and leaves no razor burn- Does not pull or snag days old growth- Fast & efficient - saves a ton of time over shaving with a blade and cream - hipsters with shaving cream brushes need not purchase.CONS:- Hard to shave closely right under your nostrils like you can with the back of a Gillette blade cartridge- have to use the flip up trimmer, but it's still not close as a blade thereSometimes I hit the power button while shaving and it turns the razor off - not sure if engineers can find a way of placing the power button down lower towards the power plug input, but it could be just me who hits it unintentionally.- I haven't had the razor long enough to comment on durability, but initial quality is exceptional.Well done Phillips Norelco, well done. If you're questioning yourself whether it's worth the money, IT IS!

Used Gillette razors for 50 years for the “close shaves”. Bought this shaver to go with my now-retired casual lifestyle. I figured I could live with a little 5:00 shadow now that I’m not working, and at about $3 per week, razors are not cheap. What a pleasant surprise! Once my beard got used to not been no shaved with a blade, the result is a very close shave with zero irritation and no mess. Cleaning is easy, and the fact that replacement blades are available makes this shaver a great long-term solution. I did look at the super expensive electric shavers but didn’t see any good reason to spend 5X as much and I’m really glad I didn’t!
