Philips AquaTouch wet & dry electric shaver with precision trimmer S5420/06 MultiPrecision blade system 45 min cordless use/1 hr charge Precision trimmer with Aquatec Wet and Dry is rated 4.2 out of 5 by 396.
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Lightweight, fast to charge and easy to use This is my first electric shaver for over 30 years. I wet shaved for closeness in the past. Skin irritation has always been a problem for me. Irrespective of wet or dry use this shaver gives great results with no irritation. This now means I can shave every day if I want to. I couldn't do this when I wet shaved with a traditional razor. It's also easy to clean (again wet or dry) and charges quickly. I now wish I'd switched to this wet/dry shaver years ago and so does my partner who prefers me to be clean shaven all the time if possible.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Good shave but..... Great close shave and whilst I am very happy with the product, think a little extra could be offered given the cost. The shaver does not come with a travel bag of any description, and I cannot find one sold separately that is big enough - think this could be provided as part of the overall product. The trimmer fitting needs to be fitted by changing the main shaver head. To remove this needs a strong pull, and I just wonder how many times this can be done before it breaks - the connection does not seem overly substantial. But no problems yet with mine, so I must reserve judgement there.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great shaver I don't know how a shaver spinning so slowly can give such a good close shave. It seems odd to put shaving cream on your face and then use an electric shaver to shave. It gives a very smooth shave that's better and smoother than a razor.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Good little shaver I've been using Philips rotary shavers for best part of 60 years having graduated from a single through a double to the current standard triple shaver head product. Did try a different razor once but didn't like it. Great little machine although at first I kept accidentally switching it off - the on/off switch needs only a little touch - but sorted that by holding with a first finger and thumb loop under the three heads. Well satisfied.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Truly terrible As a fan of Philips shavers I am hugely disappointed with this one. You only have to look closely at the product picture to see that the cutters are a long way from the edge of the shaving head. This makes it extraordinarily difficult not to leave a very thin moustache under the nose. Furthermore, clippings fall from the top of the shaving head which is at least an improvement on previous designs whee they drop straight through. Exchanging the head for the trimmer is also inconvenient. If I could give this shaver no stars I would. If I could get a refund I would.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great product First time using an electric shaver but I must say, it's a fantastic product. It has a fantastic design which makes it easy to use. I enjoy the long battery life and quick charge time as well. Overall, it's a fantastic shaver!

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Not the best This is poor at cutting 2day bristles and any longer forget it unless you have time on your hands. After sales are poor stating that I’ve had it for a fair time so I need to buy a new head! I’ve had it for nearly too years!

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Some slight design changes needed I don't like the fact that I can't use when it is charging. No indication that the battery is about to be drained. The on-off button is right where my thumb is during use and I keep switching the razor off by accident

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Shaver works efficiently I bought this shaver to save spending on blades and foam aerosols. It gives me a satisfactory shave albeit not as close as a wet blade one. I do not think any electric shaver could. I like this product and recommend it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Good all round close shave Used this series 5000 razor for the last few days and can say it gives a really close shave. I have used many top brand razors in the past but do get a closer shave than any normal razor with no nipping or pulling of the hair. The razor is very well designed and fit's nicely in your hand, also used the trimming attachment which works really well. I would deffinently recommended these razor for anyone who wants a good smooth shave.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Good Shave. Awkward to hold No charging adapter Good shave but on off switch very awkwardly placed and turns off whilst shaving as thumb over it in natural holding position. However bigger disappointment was that it does not comes with a charging stand or likes so awkward to place on the shelf and inserting charging cable is annoying. Would have expected it to come with one considering the high price. Had to shave that day so couldn't return it for a replacement.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Good shaver, but.... Shaver is easy to use and provides nick-free shaving. You definitely need to "acclimatise" to an appropriate technique (not the same as my old rotary shaver) to achieve a smooth finish. The trimmer is excellent, giving good results, however, I found it difficult to quickly engage the trimmer or shave head onto the drive shaft when changing heads. The battery lasted 3 weeks (based on once-a-day usage), and is quick to recharge.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent product, wet or dry it gives good results. Excellent product, wet or dry it gives good results and is very easy to use. I bought this to replace an earlier Philips (dry) shaver which has done good service, having only replaced the head cutters after 3 years - never let me down and had good battery life which I value. This new product has only needed recharging after +10 days use. Several days I have had a second shave in the evening for gong out so I don't know if I am taking less than average time to shave but that exceeds the official estimate ?

Rated 4 out of 5 by from This is a cool product Bought this razor , first one I've ever owned , I thought I needed an electric razor just to allow myself to , shave , after using a normal razor , when the stubble returns , without having to use the bathroom , every time to shave , this product gives you freedom , which I love . This product I have found , more than adequate to keep on top of stubble that arises post normal shaving . I have found it gives a more than adequate result , overall brilliant , and you can easily, rinse clean under a tap , what more could a man want . Great product thankyou phillips

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Very disappointed My previous Philips shaver was brilliant. I therefore stuck with Philips and purchased quite an expensive product. I am so disappointed that it does not shave half as quick or good as my previous. My last shaver use to have a pop up for doing the sides where I have to find the attachment to do the sides. It is very easy to accidently turn the shaver off while shaving Going to buy new blades to find out if that will help solve the cutting problems - You shouldn't have to do this with a new shaver
