Philips Norelco 5400 Electric Shaver, Storm Blue

I originally purchased this electric razor to touch up my face in-between shaving with a razor blade and shaving cream because I figured that it wouldn't cut as close as a razor. I've been convinced otherwise. When I first switched this razor on, the quietness of it made me immediately think it would be a subpar shave...I couldn't have been more wrong. I hadn't shaved for days, so my stubble was pretty coarse and I worried that this razor would pull my whiskers for a painful shave. Nope, not at all. The heads glided across my face with ease, so much so that I thought I had not taken off some clear barely visible plastic on the heads. When I touched my face where I had just shaved, I literally said WOW out loud! PROS: - Shaves as close as a blade and leaves no razor burn - Does not pull or snag days old growth - Fast & efficient - saves a ton of time over shaving with a blade and cream - hipsters with shaving cream brushes need not purchase. CONS: - Hard to shave closely right under your nostrils like you can with the back of a Gillette blade cartridge- have to use the flip up trimmer, but it's still not close as a blade there Sometimes I hit the power button while shaving and it turns the razor off - not sure if engineers can find a way of placing the power button down lower towards the power plug input, but it could be just me who hits it unintentionally. - I haven't had the razor long enough to comment on durability, but initial quality is exceptional. Well done Phillips Norelco, well done. If you're questioning yourself whether it's worth the money, IT IS!

I’ve been shaving with electric razors for over 40 years and this is the best one I’ve ever owned! The shave is as close as a blade, very quiet operation and easy to clean. All around great razor.

A Comfortable Shaver That Makes Daily Grooming Easier The Philips Norelco 5400 Electric Shaver in Storm Blue is a solid electric shaver that makes maintaining a clean, well-groomed appearance much easier. It offers a convenient alternative to traditional razors and does a good job handling everyday shaving without requiring a complicated routine. One of the things I appreciate most is the overall comfort during use. The shaver is designed to move smoothly across the face, making it easier to shave around different contours and areas that can sometimes be difficult to reach. It provides a comfortable grooming experience and is especially useful for anyone who prefers the convenience of an electric shaver over dealing with shaving cream, disposable razors, and frequent blade replacements. The shaving performance is good for regular maintenance, and it does a dependable job removing facial hair while helping keep the process quick. It is a practical option for daily or occasional use, especially when you want to freshen up without spending a lot of time getting ready. The Storm Blue finish also gives the shaver a sleek, modern appearance. It looks more premium than many basic grooming devices, and the overall design feels like something made to be used regularly rather than tucked away in a drawer. Another advantage is the convenience factor. Electric shaving is generally less messy than traditional wet shaving, and having a rechargeable shaver available makes it easy to maintain a grooming routine at home or while traveling. The Philips Norelco 5400 is a useful addition to a personal-care setup for anyone who values simplicity and consistency. While it may not deliver the exact same ultra-close finish as a traditional razor for every person or beard type, it performs well as an everyday electric shaver and offers a good balance of comfort, convenience, and shaving performance. Expectations should be realistic, but for routine grooming, it is a dependable choice. Overall, the Philips Norelco 5400 Electric Shaver is a quality grooming tool with a comfortable design, good performance, attractive styling, and the convenience that comes with electric shaving. It makes the daily shaving process easier and is a worthwhile option for anyone looking for a reliable shaver without making grooming feel like a chore.

Long use until recharge. Comfortable blades and swivel. Easy to clean. Good price.

I had a corded Norelco 3 head shaver that I loved and it was absolutely bullet proof. It finally gave up the ghost after more than 40 years of service and I had to replace it. I bought the Norelco 5400 and was skeptical that it would live up to the old shaver. What a huge difference for the better. It shaves much closer than the old razor (which you would expect anyway) but this is exponentially better. I was also skeptical of having a rechargeable razor but the first charge lasted me 37 days of daily use (and had just gone down to 1 bar of charge). I don't know if I'll get 40 years out of this razor but clearly, Norelco is still making a high quality product. Would absolutely by this again.

I just got this Phillips Norelco and what a great experience. First it is very quiet to shave with. I love how it feels in my 83 year old hand with arthritis. That was a close shave and it was quick. First impressions are great for the money I paid. I did fully charge it when I got it.

Ive only had foil shavers in the past. Can't say I really loved it but reviewers all rated it as top of the line-ish so I just rolled with it. Rather than spend another $50 on my annual blade/foil replacement I decided to try a rotary. Enter the 5400 and I have to say I really like it, more than I ever did the Arc5 foil. It's much smoother on the skin. Works perfectly as a daily/semi daily shaver and works better on 3 day growth than the Arc5 ever did. It leaves far less random hairs (next to none) vs Arc5 would leave a lot of them. The trimmer was better on the Arc5 (particularly under the bridge of the nose area) but otherwise I give the 5400 a higher grade at a fraction of the price.

UPDATE #2: I am generally happy with this product. However, for those who consider to buy it, please keep in mind that you need to remove the blades, and clean them thoroughly after each use. It takes around 4-5 minutes, but if you don't clean, the efficiency of the shaving drops significantly! I wish it had a better or faster way to clean those blades, but it is what it is. Because of this issue, I am dropping it to 4 stars. UPDATE: After using the product for a couple of months, I can confidently say that this is a great product. The battery lasts forever considering my usage. I believe, I only charged it twice so far but I had many shaves. Please keep in mind that if you don't clean the blades, it'll lose effectiveness! Since it's washable, I suggest at least once a week, wash the blades and let it dry. I still like the dry shaving more and my skin got used to the machine, but you have the option of wet shave. I will update again if I see something really bad. I was not expecting such a great quality, to be honest. I've been using palm shavers for my head, and I shave like 2-3 times a week. Every time I used my shaver, which is an affordable brand that I got from Amazon, I had skin burn. It doesn't bother too much but after shaving with Philips, I was so mad at myself for not buying it earlier. The design is very modern and useful. I liked the material. I have not tested the longevity of the battery but from other reviews, I got the feeling that it lasts long enough. I had a dry shave and it was veeery smooth. Cleaning the blades was pretty easy. One of the cons I noticed was that it left hair under my chin and I had to go over and over. It caused a little skin irritation. That might be because I didn't shave with the right angle but I'll keep an eye on it. Another thing is I strongly suggest you shave for the first time when you'll stay inside. It's because your skin will need to adjust to the new shaver so it may get more red than usual. I'm very happy with this purchase and shaved my head very easily. I almost look like a sphynx cat or a lantern visible during the day lol. I strongly recommend this product to everyone.

Estoy muy contento con esta línea de afeitadoras. Es excelente, yo siempre la uso en seco y no tira vello en ninguna parte. Prácticamente podrías rasurarte en la cocina y no habría un solo pelo regado. Puedes usarla donde sea y cuando sea

Shaver works well, nice smooth shave. Easy to clean. Very pleased with it. Had slight delay in delivery due to a hold up at Customs, but seller helpful.
