There’s a Clean&Charge station to hygienically clean, lubricate and dry the shaver with a proprietary alcohol-based solution. Although our testers thought the Series 5’s cleaning cartridge was “kind of a pain to install”, they were pleased with its result. With two foil blades and an ActiLift middle trimmer, the Series 5’s shaving head is designed to cut uniformly and to capture flat-lying hair.

The cutting elements in the Series 5 are more advanced than those in the Series 3. The Series 3 has 3 shaving elements while the Series 5 has 5 shaving elements. One of the shaving elements in the Series 5 is the ActiLift, which isn’t Philips Norelco Shaver available in the Series 3 models. It actually separates and lifts hairs for cutting. Even those that are flat against the skin are the focus on the elements. The 5040s has a charger that lets you shave while you’re charging.
This middle trimmer lifts flat hairs and pulls all your whiskers in one direction. When hair is lifted and directed in the right Remington Shaver direction, it’ll easily slip into the foil for cutting. When comfort is a concern both shavers feel great in the hands.

When it comes to charging, the Series 3 and 5 come with special chargers that will give you a charge after only an hour. Some of them come with a fast charging option for a 5-minute, quick shave.
