I’d not say it’s “Super Accurate.” But it does the job. Then, it’ll select the level of cleaning your machine needs. This little element captures small hair strands that lay flat on our faces and in diverse, “Hard-to-Reach” locations. However, I needed to tilt the trimmer ever so slightly to get to certain hair strands. This is thanks to the fact that it sits in the middle of two blades. Now, to say this motor does it all, would be an understatement.
2020 New generation – It’s worth noting that this shaver is from the 2020 new generation of series 5 shavers. There have been some changes since the pre-2020 models with pros and cons, but let’s stick to the current versions for this review article. The Philips Norelco Shaver 5020cs, 5018s, 5035s, 5049cs, 5050cs are the US models, and the 50-B1200s, 50-W4650cs, 50-M4500cs , 50-W1500s , 50-B4650cs are the EU/UK models. They’re the exact same shaver and there are likely more model numbers, but that covers more than enough.
Speick + the Series cc is now my go-to setup for a dry shave. As mentioned previously, the shaving heads of the Series 3 and the new Series 5 are strikingly similar. Men with sensitive skin that usually shave more often can consider the 5018s.
The 5140s is usually less expensive than other Series 5 variations, particularly the cc models that come with a cleaning station. None of the new Series 5 models are available with an automatic cleaning station. It is a very gentle and smooth shaver provided that you’re not moving the shaving head two fast across the skin.
While this is just another marketing word, it essentially means that the Series 7 shaver uses micro vibrations which help lift flat laying hairs. If you looked closely at the photo above you may have noticed small, black oval shaped button in the center of the shaver. Even if something presses up against the power button, the shaver won’t turn on. The Remington Shaver is definitely one of the nicer looking shavers on the market. The black color scheme with silver and red highlights has really had some thought put into it.
