A wet and dry electric shaver for men designed to make daily grooming comfortable and efficient. Gentle cutting and contour-following make morning routines quicker and kinder to the skin. Is the performance and convenience right for your grooming needs, with the Philips Shaver Series 5000?

⚡ At a Glance
  • Cutting Quality: ComfortTech blades are self-sharpening with curved blade caps that cut hair just above skin level for a close yet gentle result
  • Best for: Men who want a comfortable daily shave with fewer passes and less irritation
  • Not ideal for: Users who require hands-free trimming or integrated multi-length beard shaping

ComfortTech blades combine with fully flexible 360-degree contour heads to follow facial shapes and reduce pressure. A SmartClick precision trimmer, waterproof body and an advanced three-stage display complete the feature set.


Gentle close shaves, with ComfortTech blades

Self-sharpening blades sit beneath curved blade caps that guide hairs toward the cutting edges, trimming close without cutting the skin directly. The geometry reduces drag while maintaining blade sharpness over time.

Fewer passes are needed to achieve a close shave, which helps reduce irritation and redness for sensitive skin types.

Responsive contour following, with fully flexible 360-degree heads

Heads rotate through the full 360 degrees to adapt to jawlines, chin and neck contours, maintaining blade contact across uneven surfaces. The multi-directional movement allows the blades to follow natural facial shapes.

Less need to reposition the shaver, resulting in a faster routine and fewer missed spots around tricky areas.

Travel-ready power management, with quick charge and 50-minute runtime

A one-hour full charge enables up to 50 minutes of cordless use, while a five-minute quick charge supplies sufficient power for one full shave. An advanced indicator displays battery status in three stages.

Reliable for short trips and last-minute grooming, and the clear battery indicator helps avoid surprises when away from home.
