Philips Norelco - 5700 Clean & Charge Wet/Dry Electric Shaver - Super Nova Silver

Bought one for my oldest son after reading favorable reviews. He likes this razor a lot and recommended it for one of his brothers. Bought a second razor for that son. My fiance needed a razor, so guess which one I bought for him for Christmas? The one razor that gets 2 thumbs up from the men in the family! It's got an easy clean function that makes it easy for the laziest person to clean. Put in charger and it rinses it clean with the cleaning cartridges (buy extras for future uses).

Very smooth shave with a nice charging and cleaning station. My hair grows in all directions and it gets most of them but if I let my hair get a little long I have to do some cleanup with a blade. Hence the 4 stars. But if I shave regularly it works great.

Has the usual Norelco good shave. The charging speed is quite fast, and you get a lot of shaving time on a charge. Flip-open top makes for easy cleaning under the faucet. Design flaws: On/off button is a soft-touch button placed right it is natural to place my thumb when I shave, so it tends to turn off when I'm shaving. To avoid that, I must hold the shaver in an awkward grip that makes it hard to maneuver. My old model Norelco has 3/16 inch between the cutters, while this new model has more than 5/16 inch between the cutters, as well as a sunken gap between them. When I shave my upper lip, it falls into the cavity between the cutters; which is uncomfortable. The shaver has a turbo mode, which seems to be marketed to those who think their beard is tougher than hardened sharpened steel. If the turbo speed cuts better, than why not make that the normal speed? Shaver will not run when corded. The otherwise nice travel case does not have room for the charger or the trimmer ( the trimmer is detachable, requiring the main shaving head to be removed.) I would have purchased the traditional design Norelco if I had known of these things.

This is the second electric shaver I have owned and while leaps and bounds better than my first one, it takes just as long to shave as a regular razor but without the smoothness. I was hoping this would save me time in the morning shaving but maybe I expected too much. The best things about this shaver are the battery life, it's easy to clean, and the charging base/auto-cleaner. All in all I am happy with the purchase and when this one dies, I will buy another Phillips Norelco but will get one that's a few models up to see how well it works.

Shaves close and easy to clean. holds charge for long time. love it

This is an excellent, lightweight shaver. It recharges Quicken lay and last me about a week

Best decision I made in purchasing a new razor. After shaving, my face feels so smooth. The blades hit every whisker. Glides over my face with ease. Another great feature is the self cleaning option. Put it in the station and ten minutes later, ready for the next shave.

Comfortable, clean and, easy to use; I dont grow too much hair but this one certainly lasts long; it took about 3wks for the battery charge reminder and cleaning light to show up, which is pretty good while it keeps my beard and mustache hair free
