Also, a general complaint I have is that the shape of the trimmer is bad at shaving along curves like your jawline and neck. When I tried the 2300, I hadn’t shaved in a couple of weeks so I had a light beard. We’ll get into the nitty-gritty details shortly, but to put it simply, this shaver doesn’t do a very Braun Series 5 good job at, well, shaving. Philips began co-branding their shavers “Philips Norelco” in 2005 to improve Philips’ brand recognition in the United States, a first step towards an intended phase out of the Norelco name.

The result is that within seconds of being turned on, the foil chills to near zero, ‘reducing irritation’. In one of those curious quirks that you get with mass-market consumer devices, here we have an earlier version of the Braun Series 9. It has all the good points of its slightly later, titanium-tipped sibling but is unquestionably and deliberately, not quite as good. Possibly the real killer feature of the Braun for me is that using it actually feels like shaving.
You can edge by inverting the blade and pressing it to your skin. When you’re shaving, the OneBlade goes flat against your skin and can go in either direction. Tilting it to an angle, to where the coated teeth are against your skin, you can sharpen your beard’s edges or carve out a mustache .
The Philips Norelco 9800 is essentially a cheaper 9700 without the cleaning dock. Instead of a cleaning dock you are given a multi-length beard trimmer, similar to the one found on the 5700, which isn’t all that great. Over all, I highly recommend the 9300 and 9700 shavers if your neck and beard hairs grow in all directions. The circular motions Braun Series 5 coupled with the shaving head placement missed far fewer long hairs on me than the high end models offered by Braun and Panasonic. You cannot use Philips shavers while on charge and the 9300 and 9700 are no exception. Pressing the ON button while the shaver is charging will result in the battery indicator flashing and two quick beeps will sound.
Especially given that the trend is to shave less nowadays, I now recommend the Braun Series 9 foil shaver over Philips’ almost equally impressive efforts. If you’re a two to three shaves per Remington Shaver week guy you will probably prefer this too, as it is slightly better on longer stubble patches. That’s thanks to the titanium tipped blades that give it its ‘gold-painted’ appearance.
