Is the Philips Norelco 5000X good for sensitive skin?

Many owners say it causes less irritation than blade razors, and wet shaving with gel helps further. If you have very sensitive skin, start with dry shaves on a short beard and add gel if needed.

Can I use the 5000X in the shower?

Yes. It is a wet and dry shaver, so it can be used with shaving cream or gel and rinsed under the tap. Do not use it while it is charging.

How does the 5000X compare with the 7000 series?

The 7000 series adds more advanced heads and usually a better battery and display. The 5000X is the cheaper pick if you want a flexible-head rotary without premium extras.

How long does the battery last on a charge?

Philips rates the 5000X for roughly an hour of cordless shaving, enough for about two weeks of daily use. Charging is via the included cord.

What comes in the box?

The shaver, a charging cord, and a protective cap. A travel case and cleaning brush are not always included, so check the listing before buying.

When is the best time to buy it?

Mid-range shavers like this one usually drop during Black Friday and Father's Day sales. Check the price history on this page to see whether the current price is near its low.

About the Philips Norelco 5000X Rechargeable Wet & Dry Shaver X5004/84

The Philips Norelco 5000X (X5004/84) is a rotary electric shaver for men that works both dry and with shaving cream or gel in the shower. It has three rotating heads on a flexible head that follows the curves of the face and neck, and it runs cordless on a rechargeable battery. It sits in the middle of Philips' rotary lineup, above the entry 3000 series and below the 7000 and 9000 series. At 4.4 out of 5 from about 1,400 ratings, it is a well-liked mid-range pick rather than a premium one.
