Thank for your very informative information how to clean your Philips 5000 shaver. I bought a shaver a few weeks ago and the manual is useless. Well done thank you for sharing.

Thanks, this is helpful. Never really notices how dirty this thing got and thought the blades were dull. Had not even rinsed it out for 3 months, just dumped it and blew on it and finally noticed all the crap stuck in the blades.

That was so helpful. My shaver is now as good as new and I can't believe how much gunk there was in there! No wonder it had stopped being effective. Thank you!

Thanks for the video mate - struggled to clean it and put it together before this video!

My 2 cents worth is shaking the rotary blade in a glass jar like that could damage the points of the tiny blades, another then that great tutorial. Thanks

I used a mixture of vinegar, baking soda, and salt. Works like a charm to get rid of rust and gunk.

Thank you, I was struggling because my instructional video for my razor showed opposite for the head positions and was upsetting me. Thank you!

A big thanks for posting this video. Watching from Sydney 🙏

Very helpful video, short and to the point, thank your very much kind sir!

WELL DONE VIDEO! i got mine about Year ago after having one for 22 years that felt apart. I was afraid to use water on this one, so I just used dry brush here and there without taking it apart. I didn't realize it is not difficult to take it apart so I did for the first time. After dry brush and compressed air cleaning, this thing shaves better than it did when new. THANKS AGAIN for down to the point Instructions!

After taking apart my son's shaver and seeing all the gunk, I knew I was going to need help. Thanks for the in depth directions AND the vinegar solution. Now to move onto my husband's shaver. Yikes! 😬

Before I watched this video, I couldn't get the blue circles on/off. You managed to sort it out for me, so many thanks. I couldn't believe how much crap there was in the 3 blade assemblies! Got it mostly out ok and your vinegar trick finished it off for me. If you don't have a jar then make sure you have a heat-proof glass (like one of those Irish coffee glasses with a metal handle) and use a drinks coaster to keep the water/vinegar in when shaking it :-)

Back before we had water rinse able shavers we took them apart weekly and brushed them out and then soaked the heads and cutters in rubbing alcohol. After they air dryed, reassembled and gave the heads a quick spray of shaver lube and they were good to go. Back then we took care of things, I still do.

Thank you very much!!! Finally was able to clean my razor after a year hahaha I legit thought it stopped working cause all the hairs were cloggin up the razors😂

Doesn't shaking vigorously in the glass jar damage the blades of the heads? I would imagine it would be a very easy way to dull them prematurely. Also, does it not need any further treatment after the vinegar application? Thank you

I don't think it's a good idea to shake that hard in a jar. Blades can get damaged that way. My own fast way is to use an old toothbrush. Vinegar is not necessary if you use a tool.

Disassemble once a week and rinse out the combs and cutters. Reassemble and let dry completely then lightly spray the heads with a cleaner/lube like Andis Cool Care. Simple maintenance that keeps your shaver working like new.

Thank you for the video. Pls do give some info as to how one should lubricate the blades of time permits. How often and with what brands of oil? I have a Braun 9290 shaver and they say to add a few drops of the Braun shaver oil before putting it in the clean and charge station if the shaver is often used with water instead of dry shaving. I use Wahl Clipper oil and do this once a week before I put it in the clean and charge station which also lubricates while cleaning.

It depends on peoples beards .people beards grow differently some can be curly or flat or grows in all sorts of directions .so some people will benefit better with a rotary shaver while others will benefit better with a foil shaver .the bruan series 9 pro cuts great for me very close .the arch 6 is like a proglide blade when used wet but still cuts very good dry .so it depends on your beard I don’t think rotary blades would be great for me since bruan works wonders I haven’t tried a rotary shaver but normally if a foil shaver ain’t good for someone a rotary shaver works wonders for them I seen people saying rotatory savers don’t work for them it useless and I have seen people saying foil shavers is useless on them so as I said it all depends on the way your beard grows but technically if people have the beard for a foil shaver foil will defeat rotary blades

Thanks for the video... Can we drop multiple heads at the same time (inside one bottle)? Also do we need to oil the shaver/head? I read the manual and remember of it mentioned that we need to oil it.

@dodeedo

It is important to keep the blades and heads matched hence I would suggest doing them one at a time. Foil shavers need to be oiled, there is nothing in the manuals for these that says to oil them. oil can trap the hairs and clog up the blades so i think best to keep them clean.

😯Cleaning the individual heads like that ruins the sharpening of the heads because you're shaking it against the glass.. Also, grease is a good thing.. You don't want to get rid of it with vinegar. Another thing not mentioned in the video is that if you clean the shaving heads, you always have to unlock them (and clean them) one at a time because they only fit in one slot.

that is up to you, braun shavers need the lubrication which is not a requirement for Philips. the clippercide does much the same job plus the lubrication, this may be a cheaper method

I watched this video and said to my self that’s not good shaking your blades in a jar because they will hit the glass and it probably would hit the sharp part of the blade. Like the other review use a soft tooth brush and when cleaning brush the same way the blade go and not the other way because the brush will get cut and it will blunt the blade. If any one wants to sharpen there blades grab a piece of glass or small mirror put silicone metal polish on the mirror the turn the blades against the sharp edge just turn it round and round don’t press to hard your see the polish change colour do it for about two minutes then do the other two you’re know when they are sharp. This doesn’t need to be done a lot may be once a year or so.

On the blue part there are 2 tabs at 4 & 8 O'Clock these need to line up with the tabs on the head and fit into the housing, they only go in one way. Once seated it is a small turn against the direction of the arrows (arrows to unlock) and they click in Hope this helps

Used this trick today to deep clean my shaver. It looks completely brand new. Looking forward to trying it out tomorrow. Edit: I actually changed the battery, used vinegar to degrease the heads, then resharpened them with toothpaste. It cost about £11 for the new battery and few hours to dismantle, clean and sharpen the blades, but the results are excellent. It's like a new shaver.

Vinegar is too acidic. It will corrode the blades. Use wash up liquid like Dawn (in USA) or Fairy Liquid in UK. These will clean the blades with the help of a toothbrush. Oil the heads after cleaning with a drop of shaver oil.

You DEFINITELY should NOT shake the razor heads in the jar because that damages them when you hit them. The vinegar is great but the shaking is ridiculous.
