Each of our testers said it gave a sufficiently close shave. Building on the research and testing we’ve done for six years, we’ve looked into new models from competing brands that have been Braun Series 5 released, and we’re confident that the Braun line of foil shavers is the best available. And the Series 7 offers the best mix of effectiveness, features, and affordability of the line.
Just drop and click the shaver into position, and after a rather noisy process, it comes out smelling sweet and looking good as new. What’s more, if you’re travelling, the bundled case includes a secondary battery, giving you up to 90 minutes of use while you’re away from the mains – an extra 50% on top of what the Series 9 Pro’s internal battery can do. Be aware that you’ll need to splash out extra on additional cleaning fluid cartridges, but these last for roughly two to three months.
You’ll have to decide whether the convenience is worth it; maintaining your shaver manually with the included cleaning brush is certainly easy enough. The Remington offers generally good performance, but you’ll likely find the shaving experience to be buzzier and potentially more irritating if you don’t maintain a very light touch. Whether you’re making the switch from manual razors or looking for an electric upgrade, check out our full range of foil and rotary shavers.
Along my cheeks I got decent results, but could never get rid of stubble entirely along my jawline or chin. If the shaving experience is rough, or the blade fails to remove some hair. An LED light below the power button on the Remington MB4040 will illuminate if it’s receiving a charge. Allow it to charge for a few minutes if it fails to receive any charge the battery is most likely dead.
Its features are minimal, but it includes essentials like a battery meter and a trimmer for beard touch-ups. The shaver did a decent job providing a close shave on most areas of my face, but I had trouble with the neck. I never managed to get the stubble styler to work very well.
It’s the best premium shaver we’ve tested without a sky-high price. The new Series 7 70-N7200C is – against the odds – even better. The blades seem to stay sharper for longer – Gillette claims that they can last for up to six months – and you can get a good 50 minutes of trimming and shaving from a single charge.
It can also be great for those who have already shaved their hair down to just some stubble. The Remington R4 Style Series Shaver seemed like an excellent shaver for a certain type of beard, however my beard did not benefit from the product. However, this product had a couple of features that would be quite useful such as the piece that clips on to get a one or two day growth look.
Plus, this rechargeable shaver runs on a lithium battery that drives maximum torque and power to the motor for a consistent shaving performance every time.

Though it can be cared for at home, it’s a bold choice, said Butler, who has over 25 years of experience in the hair care industry. One important factor to consider before purchasing an electric shaver is its charge life. Though it varies from razor to razor, most can operate between 30 minutes and several hours after being fully charged. Though electric razors make some noise while they’re being operated, they aren’t typically loud enough to wake up someone sleeping nearby while you shave. These convenient devices are also easy to pack up and take with you while traveling for business or vacation. Average shaver, worked pretty well but trimmer didnt seem to work well with thicker hair.
