Rank #2 in Best Electric Shavers for Men 2026: 10 Ranked, Six Battery Units
Philips Shaver Series 7000 S7887/35 Wet & Dry
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The Philips Shaver Series 7000 (model S7887/35) is the second entry in this guide: a wet and dry rotary shaver with flexible heads that turn 360 degrees to follow the face, a pop-up trimmer, a charging stand, a travel pouch and a cleaning brush, listed at £89.99. It carries a 4.4 out of 5 rating from 2,762 ratings, and the listing's own rank puts it third in Men's Electric Rotary Shavers.
The numbers printed on that same listing are why it sits here rather than higher. The 'Battery Average Life' field reads '7 years', while the bullet two lines above promises '1 hour full charge for 60 minutes of runtime' — 7 years is not a runtime, and 60 minutes is what this shaver actually does on a single charge. The blade field disagrees with itself in the same way: the bullets claim '45 self-sharpening SteelPrecision Blades', the spec table says 'Number of Blades: 3'. And the weight is given as 0.56 g, which would make this shaver lighter than a paperclip; the other models in this guide are listed between 203 g and 1.16 kg. Everything on this page is taken from the Amazon listing, not from any testing we have done.
How those 2,762 ratings break down
