Philips Shaver Series 5000

The Philips Shaver Series 5000 is a prominent product in the male grooming market. Originally founded in Eindhoven, Netherlands, in 1891 by Gerard Philips and his father Frederik, the brand has grown from a lightbulb manufacturer into a global leader in health and grooming technology.

While the brand has Dutch roots, manufacturing for the Series 5000 is primarily outsourced to facilities in China to leverage global supply chains, though high-end components and certain premium models still see production in the Netherlands. Today, the Philips Personal Health division is part of Royal Philips, a company focused on professional healthcare and consumer health products.
