For those stuck on what to get for the men in their lives for Christmas, a top-of-the-range shaver with its own travel case might be just the answer. The Philips Shaver Series 5000 – Wet & Dry Electric Men’s Shaver in Metallic Blue has a big Black Friday discount and is now £59.98 at Amazon.
Shoppers can save 63% off its usual price of £159.99, but will have to act fast before the deal ends at midnight. With 27 self-sharpening blades and 55,000 cutting actions per minute, the device ensures a clean and comfortable shave.
Men will find their morning routine goes more smoothly, as its fully flexible heads turn 360 degrees to follow facial contours for a thorough and comfortable shave, the brand says. Designed to last a lifetime, it can be cleaned with ease as pressing a button causes the shave head to flip open so it can be rinsed with water.
As well as the shaver in metallic blue, the set includes a precision trimmer and a soft pouch to store it all in. The click-on precision trimmer is ideal for finishing a look, maintaining a moustache or trimming sideburns.
An alternative option is the Reminton X7 Limitless X XR1775 Wet & Dry Beard Rotary Shaver in blue, which is currently half price at Currys. Now £84.99 – an £85 saving on its original price of £169.99 – the shaver features the brand’s SynX Hybrid Cutting System, which combines the precision of rotary blades with the closeness of a foil shaver.
Another option for shoppers is the Braun Series 5 Electric Shaver, which is also on offer, and is now £59.99 from Boots. This shaver would usually cost £135.99, meaning consumers can save themselves £76. The shaver boasts up to 50 minutes of cordless running time and features three blades that adapt to comfortably follow the contours of the face.
The Philips shaver has had more than 4,000 reviews on Amazon, with many happy customers leaving reviews that heap praise on the device. One glowing review said: “This Philips 5000 series stands out by miles! Not only does it do wet and dry, but charges up quicker too! It’s comfortable, ergonomically designed, and shaves without the often irritation you get from a dry shave. But probably the most important factor to note is just how close it shaves! This is by far the closest to a wet shave I’ve ever had from an electric razor.”
Another wrote: “I’ve tried plenty of razors over the years, but this one completely stands out. The blades are incredibly sharp yet smooth, giving me the closest, most comfortable shave I’ve ever had – no nicks, no irritation, just a clean finish every time. The handle feels solid and perfectly balanced, and it glides effortlessly even over tricky spots.”
And another five-star review simply said: “Excellent shaver. Been using daily.”
One customer did say that although they were happy with it overall, the “only niggle is that it is quite easy to switch off mid shave as the button is close to the grip on the shaver body”.
And another wrote: “Brilliant wet and dry shaver. Battery lasts forever. It could just do with a blade guard.”
The Philips Shaver Series 5000 – Wet & Dry Electric Men’s Shaver is available from Amazon.
