‘WOW, what a step up from the 3000 series. Really great shave. Really light and nice to hold.’
Shoppers are hailing an electric shaver as the ‘best (they have) experienced in 77 years’ after it received a massive £105 price cut. The Philips Shaver 5000X Series is now available for £64.99, down from £169.99, in a limited-time deal on Amazon.
The discounted shaver is designed to deliver a close shave while helping reduce skin irritation, making it a popular choice for anyone looking to upgrade their grooming routine without paying full price. It features Skin Protect technology along with 27 self-sharpening ComfortCut blades.
The blades perform up to 55,000 cutting actions per minute for a smooth and even finish. The shaver’s SkinGlide Protective Coating contains up to 100,000 microbeads per square centimetre, the site says, allowing it to glide up to 20% more smoothly across the skin to help minimise friction and discomfort during shaving.

Its 360-degree flexible shaving heads adapt to the contours of the face to maintain consistent skin contact, helping capture more hairs while reducing the need to apply excessive pressure. The result is a comfortable shave with improved coverage around the jawline, chin and neck.
An anti-corrosion system helps prevent impurities from becoming trapped in the blades, maintaining sharpness and durability whether used wet or dry. Designed for everyday grooming as well as holidays and business trips, the lightweight shaver offers a practical travel-friendly option without compromising on performance.
For an alternative, Currys has the Braun Series 3 Wet & Dry Shaver for £67.49. This one is cordless and waterproof, and it comes with a trimmer and a cleaning brush.

One person said: “I’ve always used and loved Philips shavers since I was in my teens. Got this 5000X on a great deal from Amazon and WOW, what a step up from the 3000 series. Really great shave. Really light and nice to hold. It also charges quickly from a USB port which is brilliant for travel. I couldn’t be happier!!”
Another said: “Without doubt the best electric shaver I have experienced in my 77 years! Quiet, close shave, easy to clean and single charge lasts for days. I have had it for a month now so I hope it continues to impress!”
A third person wrote: “Good shaver. Quality build and feel. Easy to handle. Good price.”
Some people disagreed, however, as one customer said: “A good razor, and just that. Good but nothing special, got (it) on a deal for around £59. Wouldn’t be paying any more for it.”
Another commented: “It does not give a close shave.”
