The Philips Shaver Series 5000 is now £60 thanks to a massive 60% discount, saving you £90 in Amazon’s early Black Friday sales with shoppers saying it gives the ‘best shave in eons’
A new electric razor is a traditional Christmas gift. Whether you’re looking to spoil a shaver in your life or you’re after an easy, close shave for yourself, there’s a fantastic deal to grab at Amazon.
Currently, the Philips Shaver Series 5000 is £59.99, down from £149.99, which is a massive 60% saving for the Royal blue model. This electric shaver, suitable for dry or wet use, comes with self-sharpening blades designed for maximum comfort and a close shave.
The fully-flexible heads rotate a full 360-degrees to follow your face’s contours for both comfort and coverage, and the precision trimmer pops out of the back to help tidy up your edges. It has a comfortable rubber grip that should prevent slipping, and the blades can be replaced if they ever wear out.

Its battery life is reliable, with a 50-minute runtime on an hour’s charge. If you’re in a rush, you can get enough for a shave on just a five-minute charge. The charge indicator will keep you informed about how much power you have left, and its coverage will mean that an even, complete shave can be done in just a few minutes.
It has a very respectable 4.3 out of 5 stars from nearly 3,000 ratings, with customers raving about the quality of the shave. “I am really happy with the performance and features of this product, it really gives me a nice close shave with no water,” said one five-star review.
“Works really well for me, glides smoothly on the skin and does give me quite a close cut,” another satisfied customer shared. “Obviously it’s better if using it regularly as it can snag on longer hairs but it’s well worth the money and there’s no tidying up afterwards either.”
Another added to the praise, saying: “I can’t fault it really. Great value for money shaver and worth the investment.”
However, not all feedback was glowing. “It seems to take forever to shave with,” grumbled one user.
Another expressed disappointment: “I have tried a wet shave but this gave poor results… I am hoping that the razor will improve when bedded in, otherwise a new different one will be on my Christmas list!”
For those who fancy a touch of German craftsmanship, there’s a Braun available at Currys for £38.99, down from £67.99, which makes for a solid budget pick. Alternatively, traditionalists might lean towards the Wilkinson Sword Hydro 3 Skin Protection Men’s Razor, retailing at Boots for £20.
But with a whopping 60% discount and boasting exceptional comfort, precision, and reliability, the Philips Shaver Series 5000 stands out as an exceptionally good shaver, reports Bristol Live.
