Norelco Head Shaver Pro 5000 Series Electric Head Shaver HS5980/40 - 360° Flexing Head, ComfortCut Blades

Philips Norelco Head Shaver Pro 5000 Series is a 360° flexing, cordless electric head shaver designed to deliver a close, comfortable shave for both men and women. Whether you shave your head daily or prefer occasional touch-ups, this shaver is built to make the process faster, gentler, and more reliable. The flexible 360° head follows scalp contours while ComfortCut blades trim close without dragging. A PowerAdapt sensor automatically adjusts power to hair density and a waterproof design lets you rinse or shave in the shower for a fast, mess-free routine.

How does the 360° flexing head improve my shave?

The rotating head moves with your scalp so the blades keep consistent contact across curves, reducing missed spots and the need for repeated passes. It’s especially helpful around the back of the head and temples where angles change rapidly.

• Full 360° rotation to follow head contours
• Maintains even blade-to-skin contact on rounded areas
• Reduces pressure points that cause irritation
• Helps reach hard-to-access zones like the occipital ridge

Will the blades feel harsh on sensitive skin?

The shaver uses ComfortCut blades engineered to glide smoothly over skin while cutting close. The blades are self-sharpening and shaped to minimize nicks, making the device a solid option for users who want a snug result without aggressive tugging.

• 36 ComfortCut blades designed for gentle contact
• Rounded tips to reduce friction and irritation
• Self-sharpening action to keep consistent performance
• PowerAdapt sensor to avoid excessive force on dense hair

How long does the battery last and how fast does it charge?

The lithium-ion battery delivers up to 60 minutes of cordless shaving after a one-hour charge, which is enough for multiple sessions. If you’re pressed for time, a five-minute quick charge supplies power for one full shave, so you won’t be stranded before an important event.

• 1-hour full charge for approximately 60 minutes of use
• 5-minute quick charge gives one full shave
• USB-A cable included for charging flexibility (adapter not included)
• Travel lock prevents accidental activation during transit

Is it easy to clean and use in the shower?

Yes—this shaver is IPX7 water-resistant, so you can rinse it under running water or use it in the shower. The integrated hair collection system captures clippings for neater maintenance, and the ergonomic non-slip grip keeps control even when wet.

• IPX7 waterproof rating for rinsing and wet use
• Handy hair collection system for less mess
• Non-slip ergonomic body for secure handling in wet conditions
• Protective cap and soft pouch included for storage and travel

Who is this for? If you shave your head regularly and want a fast, comfortable, and precise tool, the Philips Norelco Head Shaver Pro 5000 is designed for you. It suits both men and women who prefer a clean, low-maintenance look, travelers who need a reliable cordless option, and anyone seeking a shaver that balances close results with skin comfort.
