Philips Norelco Shaver, Series 2100, Close Cut

This powerful new shaver bring Artificial Intelligence into your bathroom and harnesses it to deliver an epic close shave. Pressure sensors alert you when you’re pressing too hard or not enough and a motion sensor guides you around your face so you can get a closer shave in fewer passes. The Dual Steel Precision blades cut at a whopping 150,000 cuts per minute so no errant hair is left behind no matter how quickly you have to get ready. And if that’s not smart enough for you, the accompanying app tracks your shaves and offers you tips to improve. While he prefers the razor in black (“an aesthetic thing”), you can get the same model for a little cheaper in a reddish-purple color. The only time I experienced pulling was when I went too long between cleaning the shaver heads.

I read several years ago that batteries might at best attain 5x their existing capacity as of that moment. Lithium batteries have all sorts of complications, such as Tesla batteries that are made crash and fire resistant by surrounding the cells with fire retarding foam glue. These also make it very resistant to being taken apart for recycling, and the compromise of not building them like that is more electric vehicle fires. In the US they have long mandated the recycling of car batteries, with the use of core charges it has been very successful.

There is one thing I do, and that’s use the phone as a phone and nothing more. I’ve only replaced 3 pouch batteries, but they’ve all had little rectangular FPC connectors. There’s no reason that couldn’t count as replaceable as long as you can access them. I’ve only ever ran a phone battery completely down once, in an old Nokia phone, and it took 9 years to do it. I’m still using my Galaxy S4 and am on at least battery number 3, maybe 4.

Whether you’re shaving your head, your face, or touching up your fade between barber appointments, this straightforward yet powerful shaver is the one barbers turn to. With 80 minutes of run time in a single charge, this little bullet is just what you need to make sure there is no stubble in sight—ever. Multiple experts assured us that there’s no reason for this razor to only be used by barbers.

Over all, I highly recommend the 9300 and 9700 shavers if your neck and beard hairs grow in all directions. Now electric shaving does get used to as you are essentially dragging dry metal over a dry face. I personally use a pre-shave but because this shaver was waterproof I jumped in the shower to test it out.

Philips Norelco Shaver

If you want a multi-groomer without two dozen interchangeable heads, Panasonic’s trimmer is your device. It’s got a pop-out detailer, plus a rotary dial and three comb guard attachments, together providing 39 different options for trimming lengths (from 0.5mm to 20mm). This trimmer is rinsable, Braun Series 5 and while it only carries a 50-minute charge, it has a two-year warranty to promise big-picture longevity. This electric razor’s pivoting head and intercept trimmer is perfect for the smooth results you crave. Electric razors range in price, depending on the features and accessories.

The brand’s latest, it features a stunning feat of 10 directions which is a total record in the world of electric shavers. There goes your main difference in Braun vs Philips Norelco Shavers. Braun exclusively produces foil shavers, while Norelco takes care of your hair with its distinguished three-blade rotary heads.

Sadly, despite being the unit with the shortest shaving time on this list, this product still takes about eight hours to reach a full charge, which is very unimpressive. Fortunately, it has three-minute quick charge function, which gives sufficient power for a full cordless shave. Cleaning this unit is also a breeze as you only need to run it under the tap and allow it to dry. And coming with a two-year warranty and a 45-day trial period, you have no cause to fear.

Philips warrants its products for a specific period of time after the date of purchase. Defects due to faulty materials and workmanship will be repaired or replaced at the expense of Philips, as long as a valid proof of purchase is provided within the qualifying period. Damage from the use of unauthorized replacement parts will void this warranty.

It is perfect for trimming sideburns and keeping a mustache. In addition, the shaver features ComfortGlide rings which are Philips’ special anti-friction coating that protect your face from redness and irritation. The unique feature of this shaver is the BeardAdapt sensor. It allows you to shave a very dense beard for which you may otherwise need a professional barber. The built-in sensor checks your hair density at least 15 times every second then adapts the shaver to your face’s needs automatically. “Featuring Comfort Rings with an anti-friction coating this model is the best choice for those with sensitive skin and ingrown hairs.”
