🪒 Turbo+ Mode Philips Norelco Shaver 5550: Rechargeable Wet/Dry Electric Shaver with Precision Trimmer Attachment Review

I don't like wasting time on grooming so I figured it would save me a good 5-10 minutes in the morning (pun intended) if I picked this thing up and picked it up in traffic like so many do rubbing my face others that I see doing it. Well maybe it works for them because they do it every day. Then again, I'm going to shave a few days before I shave, so it won't help (yes, pun again). White is waiting for it to arrive. I was shopping at VValmart and saw a brown that looked interesting so I bought…

I bought this Revain shaver to replace a 6800 series shaver that was starting to wear out after years of use. The 5550 gives the best shave, especially on my neck where the hair grows in different directions. The ability of each rotating blade to flex independently in three dimensions is a great feature of this razor and represents an improvement over the fixed blades found on the 6800 series razors. As other reviewers have pointed out, the 5550's shaving head has a larger shaving head due to…

<UPDATED Review> A year has passed and the shaver is unusable. Note that in my original review I commented that I didn't like how the shaving head was supposed to be removed for the trimmer. It proved the fall of the razor. A year later, the head no longer holds up permanently and literally falls off several times when shaving. This made it unusable. The problem is not with the shaving head, but with the housing, which can no longer hold the shaving head. Good razor but not worth working…

I bought this razor to take in the shower instead of the multi blade razors I'm used to. I expected to have to get used to an electric shaver because decades have passed since I've used it. However, I was pleasantly surprised to find that the razor was easy to apply to the skin and easy to clean. Advantages: 1. Easy to use.2. Easy to clean. (a small brush wouldn't hurt though) 3. Very slight irritation on first use (helps keep head moist)4. The battery life is excellent. Cons: 1. Power and…

I have ordered a model 5550 shaver as listed on Revain. Instead, I have the 5800 model. They look the same, but there are a few key differences. The battery life of the 5800 is 10 minutes shorter. Turbo mode is 10% slower, and most importantly to me, it doesn't have a multi-function lift-and-cut blade system as advertised. Instead, it has a comfort cutting blade system. This blade is designed for sensitive skin and does not shave as smoothly as multi-precision lift-and-cut blades. Therefore…

I switched from a 20 year old 3 blade electric razor that hasn't had a new blade in over 10 years. Changed due to the high cost of the blades. I know the old blades didn't work very well. I like the new razor but it doesn't cut as accurately as the triple blade. I hope to be able to change the blade on my new razor more often to keep it sharp. Would recommend but have been using an electric razor for over 20 years. I tried a foil shaver in the 70's but didn't like it. I have always used a…
