Pros and cons

According to our electric shaver expert

The electric shaver automatically adjusts the shaving intensity to match the density of your beard.
The 360-degree flexible shaver head follows the contours of your face for a smooth result.
The protective SkinGlide coating lets the shaver head glide smoothly over your skin, so you can shave comfortably.
You’ll need to clean the electric shaver yourself, because it doesn’t come with a cleaning station.
This electric shaver is only suitable for light and medium beard growth.

Description

With the Philips Headshaver Series 5000 HS5980/15, you can keep your electric shaver clean after every shave. This electric shaver doesn’t come with a cleaning station, so you’ll need to clean it by hand. Because of this, cleaning is less easy and less thorough than with a cleaning station. The automatic shaving power adjusts to the density of your beard. This way, you always shave at the right speed and get a smooth result. The flexible shaver head rotates 360 degrees and follows every contour of your face. This keeps the shaver in contact with your skin for a comfortable shave. The SkinGlide coating on the shaver head protects your skin and reduces skin irritation.

Top for a smooth and well-groomed head

Fits well in the hand
Shaves smoothly over head contours
Easy to clean and hair collection works well
High price for replacement blades

My first impressions were positive: the head shaver fits comfortably in the hand, is easy to use on my head, and was ready to use right out of the box. The device shaves smoothly over the contours of my head, collects cut hair excellently, and is incredibly easy to clean. I charged it once upon receipt and have been using it every other day for three weeks now without needing to charge it again. Don't expect a shave as close as with a razor, but for everyday use, it's more than good enough.

I also use it on my face. It does a reasonable job there, but it doesn't shave as well over the facial contours as it does over my head. One drawback, in my opinion, is the price of replacement blades: around €35 (as of January 2026), almost half the price of the shaver itself.

For daily head shaving, this is highly recommended.

A smooth result with this device!

Battery lasts a very long time
Fits comfortably in the hand
Fast charged
It takes a while to get a smooth shave

I'm very pleased with this head shaver. I shave my head while watching TV. It's quiet, which is nice. It's very comfortable in the hand; you can hold it between your fingers, which is very convenient. A rotating motion with your hand gives you the fastest, smoothest shave. I can shave my head five times before needing to recharge. Once it's on the charger, it also charges quickly. Cleaning is very easy; you simply remove the shaving heads and rinse it under the tap! All in all, I'm happy with this device!

Cleaning

Pleasantly surprised by the shaver. I've always shaved my head in the shower with a razor, but lately I've had a lot of nicks and cuts. When I had the opportunity to test it for the review club, I jumped at the chance. First impressions are very positive. It shaves much smoother than I expected. And shaving was also very easy. I expected to have to shave with a razor afterward, but that's not necessary. The only downside so far is removing the shaving heads to shave. It's tricky. I'm afraid I'll break something. I've only been using it for a short time, but I'm curious how long the blades stay sharp.
