I thought it poor that no charger was included, just a Cale that didn’t fit any of the 2 previous Philips Shavers that I had purchased, especially as the last one was the previous model??
Comfortable, Smooth and efficient. If i have any negative it would be it’s too easy to press the power button whilst shaving – That’s pretty much the story for many shavers i’m afraid – Yeah i’d buy it agai
I tried electric shavers years ago hopeless, so for the last 40ys wet shavers only.
Present form son, told me how much he payed good price, excellent does the job, just takes longer, drys skin out a bit just ues some moisturiser other then that would recommend
I’ve always had a wet shave and I’ve tried many Electric Shavers over the years but they’ve never cut mustard and I’ve always returned to wet shaving again. I ordered this Phillips shaver and didn’t hold out much hope and thought It would be the same old story. However, I couldn’t have been more mistaken. I tried it today on the wet shave and couldn’t be more delighted. It cut close and comfortably and left my face feeling great. I applied a bristle softener oil first.
Honest opinio
I have had a number of Philips cordless razors over the last 40 years and this is the best one yet the cleaning system is excellent can’t praise it enough this is my honest opinio
That I paid £120 for it and now see that the model 3000 is just as good and being offered at £54.99

Close shave
Got this as replacement for previous Philips 5000 series shaver. This is so much better giving a closer shave in less time. The cleaning device is a welcome addition.
Excelle
I was supplied with some blue liquid but don’t know what to do with it.
Great shave
Great shaver. However at this price I would expect to have the protective head cap included, not have to pay an extra 14 for one! Hence only 4 stars.
Easy cleaning with the pods
I bought this razor at a reduced price while on a deal and I am happy with it but I find it a rougher shave then the Philips model it replaced
The neck area is notoriously hard for electric razors, most people I know finish their shave with a cartridge razor. So did I … until I bought this.
In 25 years of electric shaving not a single razor has done an excellent job on the neck but this does – perfectly.
The razor is quiet but powerful. I shave two or three times a week and this razor makes easy work of several days stubble.
Other people are saying that it doesn’t do under the nose very well but I find it easy.
It might not be quite as close shave as a normal razor but it’s close!
The shaver is well designed, pleasant to use and gives a comfortable, close shave. Too soon to comment on battery life, after only one shave!
Really good item that comes with a sideburn trim… Very quiet… Came with protective case and cleaner. Battery does not last as long as my previous philips shaver but charges very quick which is great… Overall woukd highly recommend
This is a good shaver but I still find I have to use a wet razor every couple of days to get a really close shave.
Easy to use
Very gentle on your skin, however, it does miss the odd longer hair.
Nice piece of ki
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.
I really like this one, it feels right ,it’s nicely weighted feels comfortable to hold and is powerful to give a nice shave. A big plus is being able to charge it directly from the cable and not have to put it in stand like my old one.
I don’t think the square lump design on the shaving head does it any favours in my opinion.
My last one lasted 10 years ,hope this one does to.
