Often better materials lead to better durability but come with a cost. While we suggest considering the materials of a product, it’s unnecessary to exceed your budget only for a better-built quality.

It comes with Philips SmartCare Centre for charging and cleaning. Just drop and click the shaver into position, and after a rather noisy process, it comes out smelling sweet and looking good as new. Be aware that you’ll need to splash out extra on additional cleaning fluid cartridges, but these last for roughly two to three months. If it weren’t for the Panasonic ES-LS9A, we’d be crowning this the new king of shavers.

That said, the Arc 3 is usually more expensive than the Norelco Shaver 2300 and the replacement foil and blades are also pricier. Thanks to their slim head, they’re easier to use, are very comfortable and also shave a bit closer and faster than the 2300. I think I’ve mentioned this in every test, but the trimmers on Panasonic shavers are Braun Series 5 just in a different league, so much sharper and effective. If most of your hair tends to grow in different directions, it may be worth investing in a more advanced shaver that can get the job done with less effort. Where the hairs also grow in different directions, it did struggle and I had to work harder in order to get a clean shave.

This safety razor gave us one of the closest shaves, actually tying with the Bevel. However, its handle is very small and short, so it wasn’t comfortable to hold while shaving. For all your below-the-belt hair trimming needs, the Manscaped The Lawn Mower 4.0 Hair Trimmer has you covered. These clippers are safe for full-body use, thanks to the soft ceramic blades and adjustable trimming guards that come in four different sizes. Complete with rust-free, detachable blades, this rechargeable trimmer is perfect for on-the-go grooming, in or out of the shower.

I did so comfortably without snags and my face was not irritated at all after doing so. I am aware of the new Series and I’ll definitely be reviewing it as well. Unfortunately the Remington Shaver Izumi shaver can’t be shipped to my location, so at least for now I’ll just have to wait. As long as the skin isn’t very sensitive, most users should be fine using it (it’s even better with a pre-shave lotion, of course). Once opened, shake it gently to remove the bulk of hair clippings and then rinse the hair chamber and shaving unit with warm tap water.

James used the Remington for two years, and it held up well during that period. It handled daily shaves without complaint and powered through more days of growth without too much issue. Braun’s Series 9 clean-and-charge base uses the same cartridges as the Series 7 base and is functionally identical. Replacement cartridges last about three months and cost about $25 for a four-pack. Replacement foils are considerably more expensive for the Series 9; they currently run about $50, compared with about $30 to $40 for the Series 7. That extra power and performance come at a dollar and design cost.
