It really does feel like you’ve used a multi-blade traditional razor. It manages this partly through that new blade design, which pulls the hairs deeper beneath the foil before cutting. There are a lot of different versions of the Braun and Philips shavers, as you can see. However, if you really want the absolute best electric shaver, pay that premium and get the Series 9000 Prestige. This will deal with 5 days worth of stubble and comes with a wireless charging pad that also works on compatible phones.
A powerful Lithium-ion battery gives you up to 60 minutes of cordless shaving on a one-hour charge. Do a quick charge for 5 minutes and you’ll have enough power for one shave. Experts might say that’s because electric razors don’t cut as close as a traditional razor/shave cream combo, but in practice I didn’t notice any difference between the closeness of my shave. In fact, I found that without shaving cream, I could see spots I missed and manage the details of my shave much better. With up to 90,000 cutting actions per minute, the SkinProtect blades deliver a close shave with fewer passes for more comfortable skin. If you want the closest possible shave and don’t need extra features, the Bevel Safety Razor is the blade for you.

The price of electric shavers varies massively, and there’s no guarantee that an enormously expensive shaver will work for your individual face and beard growth. Build quality and battery management will also be significantly better. It’s worth noting that some of the more expensive shavers also come in cheaper versions without all the accessories or cleaning stations. These cut-down Remington Shaver versions lose some of the convenience, but you’re getting great shaving tech at a lower price. Where the Braun Series 7 competes with the world’s best shavers from a slightly lower price point, the Series 9 Pro shows what Braun can do on a high-end budget. The new head contains five cutting elements, including a ProLift trimmer designed to lift and trim tricky low-lying hairs.
The Philips Norelco OneBlade is the latter — but it’s incredibly good at both jobs, especially considering its affordability. For $35, there’s a ton of tech packaged into this juiced-up disposable razor. On the front part right below the shaving unit, you’ll find a small button that pops open the shaver head for cleaning. As with the more expensive Braun models, this Remington comes with a two-year warranty. Remington recommends annual replacement of the shaver’s cutting block and foil, which are sold as a combo pack for about $20. And the Series 7 offers the best mix of effectiveness, features, and affordability of the line.
In or out of the shower, the F6 Style Series Aqua is a great rechargeable shaver, with the feel and features of more premium shavers at a thoroughly affordable price. Its two independent flexing foils and intercept trimmer give you a close shave for the money, with the head pivoting to follow the contours of your face and tackle difficult spots around the chin. Build quality is solid, bar a slightly flimsy pop-up trimmer, and the non-slip grip is great if you’re using it wet. If you’re someone who’s constantly fighting those pesky neck hairs, then this powerful new shaver brings AI into your bathroom and harnesses it to deliver an epic close shave.
Press the small button located right below the shaving unit to pop it open. But overall, even if the performance was just mediocre, I would rather have this trimmer than not get one at all. Precisely, I had to make sure that the direction of the stroke was always against the direction of hair growth and it did get a bit fiddly and time-consuming. As mentioned previously, I would highly recommend using it with a good pre-shave lotion like Tabac or Speick. Most users should notice an improvement in the comfort of the shave. Fortunately, that wasn’t the case with the Philips Norelco 2300 and the comfort was more than adequate for most of the time.
That’s the Brio Axis to a T, which maxes out at 6mm (and goes as short as 0.5mm) but which can also be “zero-gapped” . For reduced mess, the integrated vacuum system captures up to 90% of the chopped hair. Strong suction is produced by the high-velocity motor and fan system to lift and catch hairs for simple cleaning. Ideal to complete styling your hair cut or to achieve the desired look for your beard, moustache, or stubble. While the Philips Norelco 7500 misses these features, The Philips Norelco 7100 has a travel lock, integrated lights, a digital display, and a protective cover.
