You also start to approach barber-grade quality and will be getting a device that’s designed to run for hours a day, everyday,” he says. They don’t require the same power of hair clippers, which often have to be plugged in for use. There really isn’t any reason you should buy a corded beard trimmer.
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 results at an affordable price. Braun’s Series 7 razors have been around in various forms for more than a decade, and they have built a reputation for producing close shaves, being durable, and providing convenience and value. It’s still our favorite razor, and it has become an even better choice because it’s significantly less expensive than it used to be. With our shavers, you can go for a comfortable dry shave or a refreshing wet shave. At Philips, we understand that every skin and hair type is unique.
A surprisingly close shave that requires only a few passes if you’re using on a day-to-day basis. We’re talking the kind of close shave where you will barely feel your stubble. The shaver is cordless and can be identified by its model number S1560. ComfortCut Blades Get a clean shave that’s comfortable on your skin. Rounded blade caps shield 27 self-sharpening blades to gently cut hair just above skin level and help the shaver glide smoothly over your skin. I will say, as someone who shaves to skin most of the time, I got an impressively smooth shave from such a simple product.
Naturally you can also use the Series 7 70 as a wet shaver – the whole unit is fully waterproof – but I don’t see the point given how well it performs using it dry. Simply go about the morning business while shaving and before you know it the job is done. It has three intensity levels, the idea being that the especially sensitive-skinned can keep it lighter. Using a rotary shaver is weird enough at the best of times, as they have such a light touch. Also, even though my skin is quite sensitive, I never felt any irritation while using the Prestige on its highest setting. Still, presumably some men must find this ability to turn the power down useful, or it wouldn’t be there.
You’ll get fewer attachments, a fraction of the battery life and no hard case (however, it does come with a zip-t0p pouch), but it still offers the versatility of an all-in-one-groomer. The Philips Norelco Series 7500 (BT7515/49) does not feature a travel lock, to your question. The travel lock is a feature that almost Braun Series 5 all face shavers have. While it is a solid investment for beginners looking for a comfortable shave, it may not be the perfect fit for men with dense, thick beard growth. Duncan’s current brief is everything to do with the home and kitchen, which is good because he is an excellent cook, if he says so himself.
We didn’t test battery life, specifically; all of the models we picked were capable of running for about an hour on a full charge. Our shavers have 360-D flexibility, to keep optimum contact along your facial contours. This enables a more even distribution of the shaving pressure, for higher skin comfort.

This happened when I attempted to return the shaver head to it’s original position. These rings can be undone with a simple twist, allowing you to remove the individual shaver heads. With the contents of the 9300 box fully explored, it’s now time to take a closer look at the shaver. At first it was not immediately clear as to what this is used for. Upon referring to the instruction manual I learned that it was a tool to assist with removal of the individual shaver heads.
The protective blades made it really feel like the razor was gliding across our face — something we always heard about in shaving commercials but never experienced in real life. The bumpers, along with two lubricating strips, gave us a super-smooth shave. We never felt any irritation or experienced any bumps or ingrown hairs — even hours after we shaved.
