Let’s be honest, you probably don’t just shave or trim on your face. The SkinSafe ceramic blades on this upgraded shaver minimize nicks and cuts and make shaving anywhere a much less harrowing experience. Use it wet or dry and with or without the adjustable guards for a truly customizable and comfortable manscaping experience. Braun Series 5 For as close as this razor can shave (5-blades close!) you’d think that it could make sensitive skin angry, but somehow it doesn’t. The ultra-sharp blades trim hair as close as any razor/cream combo we’ve tried and the pivoting head ensures you don’t miss a spot – even around hard to reach areas like your jawline and neck.
This top-of-the-line Panasonic shaver includes a total of five blades—a quartet of foils and a single oscillating lift-and-cut center trimmer. The Arc5 is quieter than the Series 7, but the noise it does make is much higher pitched, which some may find annoying. If you find that Braun models aren’t working Remington Shaver for you, the Arc5 might be a better option for your skin or hair type. For the first iteration of this guide, we enlisted a panel of 12 to test a dozen electric razors each. The Gillette SkinGuard stood out above all the other razors we tested, thanks to its extremely comfortable and easy shave.
Philips Norelco Shaver 2500 gives you a consistent, convenient clean shave. Self-sharpening ComfortCut blades, a pop-up trimmer, full-washability, and a storage pouch make the shaver easy to use and excellent value. A lot of shavers promise improvements in user safety, meaning their blades are less likely to irritate or even cut your skin. Philips Norelco, however, went one step further and rounded the teeth on both blades and covered the part you put flat on your face with a Glide coating.
A lot of thought has gone into engineering the 9000 Series shavers. But on the flip side, the retaining ring system is absolutely crap. And your choice of locations to sit the unit are limited, since it has to be close to a power outlet. Philips claims the cleaning solution in each cartridge lasts for up to two months before needing to ben replaced. I found myself getting 6-7 weeks out of each cartridge with very regular shaving, cleaning after each session. Not exactly what you want, particularly if you prefer to dry shave.
Connected models allow to track your routine, and advise you for a shave that’s best for your skin. The blades cut close and safely, without touching the skin directly. Philips rotary shavers with SenseIQ technology are intelligent and adaptive.
I will get one as well and do a review and comparison with the Arc 5. I am actually the most excited about the completely redesigned system that allows the 6 cutters to move independently a lot easier. That was always a problem with all Panasonic shavers, hopefully this issue will be fixed. There are various models available, suitable for dry only or wet/dry use and can come with or without a hair trimmer .
Braun Series 5 7700 delivers a smooth shave while reducing skin irritation. Replacement blades for the Bevel are the cheapest in our testing pool too, with a package of 20 going for $9.99, averaging out to $0.50 per blade . As a bonus, safety razors as a whole are better for the environment than your standard razor, since there’s no plastic and you can recycle your used stainless steel blades. When your blade gets dirty or worn out, the Bevel makes it super easy to clean or replace with a simple screwing mechanism. We preferred this over the Merkur Futur’s blade enclosement, which just pops off, because in our drop test the Futur’s blade would pop out from the handle and end up somewhere on the floor. Cetaphil’s Gentle Skin Cleanser is the perfect gateway product to jumpstart your skin-care journey or tone down a busy routine back to the basics.
The good thing about electric razors is there isn’t really a ‘correct’ way of using them, unlike bladed razors, but if you suffer irritation easily, a wet and dry model could prove a boon. It’s on the simple side in terms of features, but that doesn’t mean it sacrifices on power. The dual foil blades give a quick, close shave whenever and wherever you need it.
