A metal razor blade is the gold standard of close shaves. However, this Norelco 6600 is as close to a razor as I’ve experienced.and I is probably near the limit of what a hand held electric razor is capable of. I say this without having experienced what the most expensive electric razor on the market can do. Before owning this Norelco I had a foil type electric razor from a competitor. Research online suggested foil razors offer a closer shave. It my particular experience and with that single experienced manufacturer I was disappointed even after giving it 45 days to work out.

The shaves are respectably close, the motor is uncommonly quiet, cleanup is incredibly easy and the battery is surprisingly long lasting in between charges. It’s hard to ask for anything more convenient.

This is my first electric shaver, so I didn’t have any expectations besides “Does it function properly?” And “Does it do what it claims?”….that’s it. I read the instructions while it was charging and always properly use, clean and store it sticking to shaving every other day so my skin would adjust to the shaver. I’ve had this for 2 months and 3 days and while it does shave most of my stubble it does not get all of it even after cleaning it once I’m done with a sedition of my face. First I thought, maybe I’m not using it properly on the unshaven part….but after keeping notes of the areas it’s not shaving I saw it’s not in the same areas. I tried going over the stubble once again it gets very little to nothing forcing me to use a razor to get what’s leftover.

I bought this electric shaver to shorten my morning routine but some days it’s longer. For the price I paid, it makes it okay/alright. If I could pick one, replace the razors more frequently or leaving stubble and use a razor….I would rather buy the razor heads more frequently honestly.

I purchased a Philips S5579 wet and dry razor. The first time I used this razor I used it dry as I had no shaving foam/gel. The results were good. Really good, and there was no razor burn either.Second time around was a wet shave with some gel. This time the results were mind blowing. The razor shaved literally as close as a blade in my opinion, but without the nicks. In fact it was even faster than using a blade!The battery life is good and I love the way you can wash the razor out every time so next day it’s like having a fresh, clean blade every time.I had a Philips razor years ago and that was ok but I’ve had a beard the last 12 years and for whatever reason it got discarded.

I cannot get over how much Philips have evolved these razors in this time. They really are incredible now.I have always believed you get what you pay for and this razor is worth every penny.If you’ve been trying to make up your mind out of all the different electric razors on the market, give this one a try.
I have shaved with Norelco razors off and on for the past 50 years, and continuously for the past 30 years. They are great razors, but this one is truly outstanding. As long as you use gentle but consistent pressure and use a slow, mostly clockwise rotation in your technique, you get a fast, close, non-irritating shave (and I don’t use any pre-shave and always shave dry). I can’t emphasize enough how close this thing shaves! Closer than a blade, in my experience. Usually, something that close will leave irritation, but no, none, and I have pretty sensitive skin. The razor is pretty quiet, very easy to clean, and well-balanced. The trimmer is substantial and stays in place for accurate trimming.After a month and a half of shaving with this razor, I have recharged ... MoreI have shaved with Norelco razors off and on for the past 50 years, and continuously for the past 30 years.

The razor is pretty quiet, very easy to clean, and well-balanced. The trimmer is substantial and stays in place for accurate trimming.After a month and a half of shaving with this razor, I have recharged it only once, disassembled it, and cleaned the heads—all very easy. The shaves have just gotten even faster and closer, and I shave every three days now. Charging is remarkably fast.I remove the shaved whiskers from the head assembly after every shave, and run hot water on the heads while in place in the open head assembly after every other shave and then spray a little shaver lubricant on the heads after closing the head assembly, shaking the razor dry, and turning on the razor for about 20 seconds. I wish Norelco would bring back their name-brand spray lubricant, but "Shaver Shaver" spray lubricant will do the job, too.
Well consider me impressed! I thought there was no way an electric razor could ever give me as close a shave as my traditional refillable razor yet this one sure does. I like that the shaver is very lightweight and its operation is relatively quiet. But it is still extremely convincing. I could hear and feel it powering through stubborn stubble on all areas of my face and neck leaving behind soft, smooth feeling skin. An included protective cap and travel lock feature also means it is convenient to take along with me on the go when taking a trip or to tossing in a bag for after the gym or touchup for the end of the work day before heading out. Rechargeable battery provides consistent power complete through to discharge and lasts about an hour once fully charged. I ... MoreWell consider me impressed!

I especially liked that it is comfortable to use without any nicking or pulling of hairs. I used mine mainly for dry shaving but I also like that it is versatile enough to also use wet, with shaving products like creams or gels, and even in the shower.

This new Norelco shaver is a big change from my current one. Some things I really like about it and a couple not so much. Starting with the not so much is the fact that there's no charger for this shaver, it just comes with a cable with a USB end. My current Norelco has a nice charger base it sits upright in and plugs into the wall. The shave head on this is also considerably larger than my current one and takes some getting used to for trimming around tight spots on the face. Now for the good, this shaver requires very little effort for shaving stubble on my face and gets it all with only a couple passes. The way the shave head can contour around the face is cool and helps to get shaving done quicker.

Overall this is a nice replacement shaver other than not coming with a charger right out of the box.
I still have an old Philips shaver (HQ6675) which I have had for years. It's a great shaver and the battery lasts a long time. I fancied something a bit newer and the Series 5000 is a real step up. I didn't think shaver technology could get much better but this awesome. It gives a really close shave and is very quiet. I like the ability to lock the shaver so it doesn't come on when you are travelling. It is also VERY good for use in your more sensitive areas and it is even better than a dedicated shaver I bought specifically for that. It has never nicked the skin which is the last thing you want down there !. It has a pop-out sideburn trimmer on the back which the usual stop photos don't show. I was confused by the different models but these are just different ... MoreI still have an old Philips shaver (HQ6675) which I have had for years.

This Phillips Norelco 5400 shaver is nice. It has a good ergonomic form factor and gives a close shave without as much irritation as a razor. It does take multiple passes and several minutes to shave, so don't expect unrealistic magic, but I personally do prefer this vs manual razors. Additionally, I appreciate the wet & dry feature without fear of bringing into a wet environment. While it works if I haven't shaved in a while and the facial hair is starting to get a little longer, it works best if you keep up with things and don't let your hair grow too long. Finally, these electric shavers do occasionally leave a random unshaved longer hair that for whatever reason doesn't get cut, and I do keep a manual razor handy just for those occasional touch ups.Overall, it ... MoreThis Phillips Norelco 5400 shaver is nice.
