Electric rotary shaver Philips Series 5000 S5898/35 — 3-head, Wet & Dry, SteelPrecision blades, 60 min cordless

The Philips SHAVER Series 5000 S5898/35 is a wet and dry rotary electric shaver designed for a close, efficient shave with SteelPrecision stainless steel blades. It adapts cutting power to beard density, offers flexible 360° shaving heads for improved facial contact, and includes a pop-up precision trimmer integrated into the handle. The shaver is cordless with up to 60 minutes of run time from a full charge, a 1‑hour full charge time and a 5‑minute quick charge that provides one full shave. The product features an LED display with battery, cleaning and travel-lock indicators, is washable, and comes with an Eco passport confirming use of renewable electricity in blade production and recyclable packaging.

Advantages

The SteelPrecision blades deliver up to 90,000 cutting actions per minute and are self-sharpening for consistent cutting performance. An intelligent facial-hair sensor measures hair density 500 times per second and auto-adapts motor power for a gentler shave. Flexible heads rotate 360° to follow facial contours and hair-guiding channels in the head shape improve cutting efficiency. The shaver is suitable for wet and dry use, can be rinsed under water after opening the head with one touch, and includes an integrated precision trimmer for moustache and sideburn maintenance. The LED display provides clear status icons, and the device is battery powered with a durable lithium-ion cell and palladium-strengthened components for longer life.

Suitable for

• Daily close shaving on face and neck
• Wet shaves with gel or foam, including shaving in the shower
• Maintaining moustache and trimming sideburns with the pop-up trimmer

How to use

Charge the shaver fully before first use. For a dry shave, use the shaver directly on clean, dry skin. For a wet shave, apply gel or foam and shave under the shower or at the sink; rinse the head after opening it with the one-touch release. Use the pop-up precision trimmer to shape a moustache or trim sideburns. After use, flip the head open, rinse under running water and allow to dry. Follow the LED display prompts for cleaning reminders and battery status.

Recommendations

Replace the shaving heads according to the manufacturer’s guidance—typically after significant wear or when cutting performance reduces—to restore optimal performance; a set of new heads returns the shaver to full cutting efficiency.
