Philips Rechargable Electric Shaver
I bought this shaver for my husband whilst he was in hospital. It has now replaced his traditional shaver due to the quality of the shave and the convenience of the recharge system. A great shaver.

Absolutely fabulous shaver
Such a great shaver. So easy to use, holds charge for ages, nice clean shave with no nicks or irritation. Also find it nice a light and comfortable in my hand.

At a glance
The Philips Shaver Series 5000 SkinIQ is a mid-range rotary shaver designed for men who want a comfortable everyday shave at home or on the go. Its key strengths are adaptive shaving power, wet and dry flexibility, easy cleaning and solid battery life. One limitation is that it lacks the more advanced comfort and closeness features found on premium Philips models.

Things to consider
It offers a strong everyday shave, but premium shavers can provide more advanced comfort guidance, closer cutting systems or extra skin-protection features.
Sensitive skin suitability
7.5/10 - flexible heads and adaptive power support a comfortable shave, though premium models may offer more advanced skin-protection features.
Travel friendliness
8.5/10 - cordless use, travel lock, 60-minute runtime and USB-A charging make it easy to pack for short trips.
Wet/dry use versatility
9/10 - suitable for dry shaving or use with water, foam and gel to match different routines.
Ease of cleaning rating
9/10 - fully washable construction makes routine rinsing quick and straightforward.
Noise level vs category average
About average for a rotary shaver
Key benefits
- SteelPrecision Blades: 45 self-sharpening blades deliver up to 90,000 cutting actions per minute for consistently close everyday shaving.
- Power Adapt Sensor: Reads hair density 250 times per second to automatically adjust power for a smoother shave across different beard areas.
- 360-D Flexing Heads: Flexible shaving heads follow facial contours to maintain better skin contact around the jaw, chin and neck.
- Wet and Dry Operation: Lets you shave with water, foam or gel, or use it dry when you need a faster routine.
- 60-Minute Battery Runtime: A full charge provides up to 60 minutes of cordless use, making it practical for daily grooming and short trips.
- 5-Minute Quick Charge: A short 5-minute charge gives enough power for one shave when the battery is low.
- Integrated Pop-Up Trimmer: Built-in trimmer helps tidy sideburns and moustache edges without needing a separate tool.
- Fully Washable Design: The shaver can be rinsed clean under water for simpler maintenance after each use.
Q: Is this Philips shaver good for daily shaving and three-day growth?
A: Yes. Philips S5880/20 is designed for everyday shaving and is built to cut efficiently through 3-day beards. If your beard is very coarse or much longer than that, it may take extra passes and will not replace a dedicated beard trimmer.
Q: Does the USB-A charging cable include a wall power adaptor?
A: This shaver charges via USB-A in about 1 hour. A wall power adaptor is not listed with the model, so plan to use an existing USB power source or charger, and note that charging and shaving are separate because it is cordless in use.
Q: Is the pop-up trimmer enough for beard styling or just edges?
A: It is mainly for edges. The integrated pop-up trimmer is handy for sideburns, moustache lines and small tidy-ups, but it is not a full beard trimmer, so shaping longer beards or setting an even length needs a separate tool.
Q: Will the battery last through a weekend trip without recharging?
A: For many users, yes. Philips S5880/20 offers 60 minutes of cordless use from a full charge, and a 5-minute quick charge gives enough power for one shave. It suits short trips well, but longer travel may still mean packing the USB-A charging cable.
Q: Can you shave with foam or gel and rinse it clean?
A: Yes. Philips S5880/20 supports wet or dry shaving, so it can be used with water, foam or gel as well as dry. The shaver is fully washable for rinse cleaning, but the pop-up trimmer is for detail work rather than full beard trimming.
