I have always been a blade user....shaving in the shower at least once a day.I have to be presentable to the public in my job, so like to be freshly shaved for work, usually after I've cycled in.I broke the razor test down to 3 parts...pre-shower, in-shower and post-shower.First of all the razor arrived in neat suitable packaging. Most of which I was able to recycle.Not to much and not too big.The instructions were adequate, however a little simplistic. The first charge was quick and lasted a longer than I expected. Battery, top marks.Nice ergonomic design, sits in the hand comfortably and isn't too noisy.

Firstly charging the Philips Shaver series 5000 wet and dry electric shaver with SmartClean is really quick (5 minutes) and it works a long time (1 hour) compared to other shavers I have used in the past. However the shaver comes with a European plug and therefore requires an adapter to use in the UK.When shaving you need to shave in a circular motion rather than back and forth and the 5-directional flex heads do a good job of working round facial curves. You can use shaving cream/gel or even in the shower but I didn't find that it made much difference. However it is a plus that it is has Aquatec for dry or wet technology so can be used in the shower to save time.It does take quite a long time to shave using the S5572/10,

I have had an older Philips Shaver for 14 years! It has worked extremely well. The blades have been changed when necessary. The battery was beginning to fail, so I thought I would invest in a new one.I wanted to get another Philips in view of my great experience with the former shaver. The multi-directional heads really appealed.I like this shaver a lot for the following reasons:1. The multi-directional floating heads.2. It's a lot quieter than my previous shaver.3. Easy to clean.4. Fast charging.5. It gives a good shave providing you take your time.Things I'm not so keen on:1. No case supplied - I had to buy one.2. The need to detach the shaving head so as to attach the sideburn trimmer - the older shaver has a built in trimmer that flips up when required.

One of the greatest trials I face is trying to ensure that I dont have hair sticking out of my nose or ears....I think it makes you look a lot older and its a real turnoff! Ive tried all sorts of devices in my time from simple tweezers and pointy scissors to alls sorts of weird and wonderful devices for removing unwanted nasal and ear hair. Some worked better than others but they were fiddly, painful or simply not good at what they were supposed to do. Until now.I purchase this on the basis of good reviews and I have not been disappointed. The item arrived bang on time. It was well packaged and the packaging was adequate without being OTT. The produce came blister packed and was in perfect condition.

What is it about nasal or ear hair that no-one talks about it? The result is that standard razers and electric razers, for all their cleverness, never include implements to deal with it. So, having grown tired of slicing lumps off my ears in an attempt to deal with the expanding forest, I was delighted to find this.It works pretty well. The head - which has a single line of cutters about an inch long - is thin and gets into pretty much any area. It does not always cut right down to skin level - I found that there is a fraction of stubble left behind in some parts of my ear especially as it does not cut right down to the very tip - but for all visible areas it does a very good job.While quiet its not completely silent by any means,

This was purchased to replace a similar device from another brand used for a number of years but was really quite ineffective although it did sometimes catch the odd hair or two. Its operation was very different and ir was the sole choice available when purchased. A far greater number of choices are now available, even from within a single brand of which some use the same system as the model now to be discarded. This uses a toothed cutter that does not pull the hairs, finds and cuts them easily without pulling on them and without causing pain or discomfort.Although described solely as for nasal hairs,

I have found that the product provides a very close shave without any discomfort or irritation. This is a key consideration of mine when deciding to purchase a shaver. I did however notice a slight pull on my facial hair a couple of times, not significant enough to affect my view of the product and something I believe would probably not have happened would I have used the turbo mode. The movement of the head and three individual shavers is fantastic which allows you to get into the hard to reach places i.e around the chin and along the jaw line. The trimmer also work very effectively and allows you to trim with precision as it is quite small and well designed.The battery life is outstanding,

I used to have a Philips rotary shaver and changed it many years ago for a linear one. However, I found that the razor I had kept missing parts of my beard and leaving occasional long ones, which ere difficult to remove.I had seen a lot of new razors with rotating heads offset from the main shaver. After a lot of on line research I decided to buy a 5000 series shaver.At first I found it a different grip from the shaver I had been using for some 30 years, but soon got used to the recommended rotating action and the pistol type of grip.I was also concerned about the battery life, but it seems to be holding up the same as other razors and therefore is not a problem.I do not like th option to wash it under the tap,

This is only my second electric shaver, but this is by far the best I have used. I found that it cuts hair much more efficiently than my previous one (even when new) and the fact that the precision trimmer was included has negated the need for a standard razor to straighten up my side burns. If you have the additional 'head' to hand it probably takes less than thirty seconds to change.As previously mentioned it cuts hair much more efficiently this is probably down to the fact that this razor has three free moving heads or as Philips calls it 5 direction flex heads instead of been fixed in some way. It cuts really close to the skin with no irritation,

The first thing I noticed about this shaver is just how quietly it operates. There is none of the usual shaver ‘buzz’ like you would expect.My initial shave after a full charge overnight was on about 4 days growth. This was done dry and using a circular motion provided a clean and close cut with little irritation at no nicks at all.The turbo function is particularly useful for getting through problem areas after a few days growth and found it was really effective on the problem area under my neck.I found that the most effective shave was when using in the shower with gel, which gives the best of both worlds in regard to electric shavers and a manual razor.The clipper attachment it handy for
