Philips scheerapparaat serie 5000 S5887/30

Having finally upgraded from the old 3000 model to the 5000, I have found the new shaver to be a significant improvement. I now get a very smooth shave and takes less time to do so than the previous shaver. The reason I have only given four stars is because of the time it sometimes takes me to fit in the blades after cleaning. The locking of the final piece of a blade in particular can be very time consuming and does not always lock in properly. This may be that I am a "senior citizen" and as time goes on I may hopefully find the refitting easier.

The Razor is fine, but I bought it to replace my ageing 7000 series. I quickly realised that my old one felt much more comfortable in my hands whilst shaving so took the new blades and foils from the new one and put them in my old one - perfect. I'll keep the new one in a drawer just in case! To be fair the integral trimmer on the new one is better, just the ergonomics don't feel right

Easy to use, clean smooth shave and easy to clean with long battery use.

Disappointed. Harsh on skin. Everytime I use it and shaver cuts my face.

This was bought as a gift for my father in law. He's 95yrs old and he is thrilled with it
