The Philips Series 5000 S5898/35 is a versatile men's shaver that combines power, comfort and flexibility. Advanced SkinIQ technology automatically adjusts shaving power based on beard density, ensuring a comfortable and effective shave without irritation. 360-degree pivoting heads follow the contours of your face for optimal skin contact, while 45 high-performance self-sharpening stainless steel blades with up to 90,000 cutting movements per minute ensure a close shave — even on longer beards.

The shaver is suitable for both dry and wet shaving with gel or foam, and can also be used in the shower. The shaving head can be easily opened and rinsed under running water, making cleaning quick and hassle-free. It also features a pop-up precision trimmer head for shaping your beard, mustache or sideburns. The powerful and durable Li-ion battery provides up to 60 minutes of cordless use after a 1-hour charge; a quick 5-minute charge gives you enough power for one shave. The LED display shows the battery status, reminds you to clean it and allows you to activate the travel lock. This shaver is a great choice for men looking for comfort, flexibility and reliable results — every day or before special occasions.

Same summary

The Philips S5898/35 SkinIQ shaver with 360° pivoting heads and wet and dry shaving is particularly suitable for users who want flexibility in their daily care - for example, for those with sensitive skin or thicker beards. Due to its cordless operation and up to 60 minutes of autonomy, it is also practical for those who often groom themselves on the go or at home without constant access to a socket. The rotation system and built-in trimmer allow for more precise edge shaping, but the shaver may be less suitable for users who prioritize a perfectly close shave or need a shaver primarily for the body. The special feature of such models is the greatest freedom of use - from basic daily shaving to a quick refresher before leaving the house.
