Men looking to get the best close shave from home might find that they can get overwhelmed with the amount of models and brands on the market these days.
As luck would have it, we have spotted one on Amazon that is said to be “better than” major brands including Braun and Bosch. To sweeten the deal, it is officially on offer for over half-price less in a limited time deal.
It’s the Philips Shaver Series 5000 Wet and Dry Electric Shaver and it has been reduced from £219.99 to just £99.99 – an impressive £120 saving overall. It’s still priced at £219 on the brand’s website and £119.99 at Currys, meaning Amazon’s deal is currently the cheapest.
The grooming gadget uses 45 self-sharpening blades to provide “the best close shave”. With up to 90,000 cutting actions per minute, users say that they are able to get rid of stubble “in a very short time”.
It also boasts a fully flexible head that has been designed to follow the contours of your face, while a power adapt sensor senses your beard texture and adjusts the cutting speed. There’s also a pop-up trimmer that is ideal for styling your edges or sideburns.
Since it is water-resistant, this wet and dry shaver is also easy to clean when rinsed out. There’s also a charging stand that takes about five minutes for a quick shave, and a travel case that comes in handy when you are away on vacation or work trips.
Singled out by Amazon as a ‘choice product’ with over 1,000 reviews, the Philips 5000 Wet and Dry Electric Shaver currently has a 4.5 rating from users who have praised it as “well worth the money.”

One five-star review read: “Better than Braun. Bought a Braun shaver about 3 years ago after using a Phillips, never liked it. My Braun packed in so bought a Philips. Best move I made, so smooth doesn’t tug like the Braun, the moustache trimmer is great, well worth the money. Would definitely recommend this item.”
A second delighted user wrote: “I’ve had Braun and Panasonic and none of them are a patch in this. It’s brilliant – cuts all hair especially under chin which was always a challenge for my previous razors. Highly recommend.”
Another shopper praised: “I have been using electric razors for 50 years and this one is by far the best I have used. It gives a close shave in a very short time. The trimmer is perfect for sideburns and loose hairs. The holder and carrying case are also very convenient.”
While another added: “Never had such a great shaver, close every time, you get what you pay for I think that this is worth every penny. Joy to use and hold. Easy to clean and maintain, no downside at all. Very pleased with it.”
Some users have admitted they have struggled to shave ‘hard to reach’ areas such as the nose and ears. One such review read: “Not as close a shave as with a razor but close enough, quick and comfortable. Keeps charge well. Doesn’t reach in close to ears or nose but didn’t expect it to and those areas are easily gone over with a razor after.”
