Below, we’ve picked the best electric shavers on the market right now for a range of different budgets and requirements. If you’re still undecided after checking out our picks, you’ll also find a handy buying guide at the end of this article. Head shavers versus trimmers, clippers and razorsWhile all three tools can be used to help with the maintenance of a shaved head, using one over the other depends on how you want your hair to look. “If you want to compare these three tools, you can say that clippers are a substitute for scissors and a comb, a trimmer eliminates scissors and a shaver replaces classic manual razors,” Davis explained. Whether you’re planning on buzzing your hair or you’ve already done it, a head shaver is an important tool to consider in order to maintain a clean cut.
It sports a futuristic design, complete with a digital battery indicator, and takes around three hours to charge wirelessly, after which it will shave for around 60 minutes. For a bald or shaved head, a head shaver could be an essential grooming product to keep on hand at home. Electric razors range in price, depending on the features and accessories.
Though the blades will eventually need to be replaced, likely after a year or so, they tend to last much longer than traditional razors do. At full power this device sounded like it was run by hearing aid batteries. It was so slow with its blades it instantly gave me around 4 to 5 cuts on my neck. I persisted with using it until the end for the review but I could not use it a 2nd time.
We believe the Braun Series 7 is worth its higher price, but the Remington F is a surprisingly competent budget alternative. It provides credible stubble-leveling Philips Norelco Shaver results at an affordable price. Braun’s top-of-the-line electric razor offers the best shave—even for heavy beards—at a higher price.

It doesn’t help that in the name of simplicity the Heritage has a single on-off control, with no adjustable settings at all. There is a small detail trimmer on the back, but I also found this underpowered, not to mention awkward to pop in and out of the razor’s body. The short, squat design is pointedly old-fashioned thanks to its ridged metallic finish and low-key colour scheme – a far cry from the ergonomic black obelisks that are more common in the modern razor. Our review unit is chrome and dark grey, while the US also gets the option of a white model that swaps the chrome for brown leather. There’s no cleaning station with this Remington model, of course, because of the low price.
Plus, clean shaving is easy with the fully washable shaver and a special antimicrobial additive that helps inhibit the growth of bacteria. Modern electric razors can deliver impressively close shaves, but they can’t quite match the closeness of manual razors. The Series 7 razors consistently produce close, comfortable shaves and are easy to use and maintain. The XF8550 Remington® SmartEdge Advanced Foil Shaver features a revolutionary cutting system that delivers our closest ever one-pass shave. But you won’t have to sacrifice comfort for closeness—the waterproof WetTech design gives you options to find your most comfortable shave. It works with gel and foam or as a traditional dry shaver, and you can even use it in the shower.
To clean up the head of the electric shaver you can just remove the whole head and wash it off with water and you are good to go. The best thing about the Remington F is that the shave is irritation free. Easy to use, fitted nicely into my hand – gave a good clean shave every day. Easy to use, effective and glided around the contours of my chin and jawline really well. All in all a good close clean and precise shave every time. The only downside was that it took a long time to charge but once charged it lasted almost the whole week with daily shaving.
