It’s held up remarkably well and, aside from a dip after a little more than a year of use which was remedied by replacing the foil, the shave quality has remained consistent. Braun Series 5 Staff writer James Austin has reviewed everything from board games to umbrellas and has participated in a number of test panels since joining Wirecutter in 2015.
In fact I can’t remember a time my visage felt quite so smooth. Particularly when it comes to Phillips shavers and, to a slightly lesser extent Braun, there are usually at least three versions of each shaver. But for the old guard who prefers a smooth appearance, and younger men turning away from the beard, an electric razor is just the thing, and these are the best electric shavers. If the shaver itself doesn’t convince you, Braun has also put together an outstanding kit.
It didn’t provide a very close shave, but it was quite easy to clean and comfortable to use. Gillette’s new Planet KIND razor was a bit uncomfortable when we shaved with it. It didn’t glide across our face like the SkinGuard did, and it didn’t provide Braun Series 5 a remarkably close shave either. This razor and its blades are 100% recyclable through Terracycle, which is nice, but safety razor blades are also recyclable. So if you’re looking for an eco-friendly razor, we’d still recommend the Bevel Safety Razor.
While Gillette says this causes a shave that isn’t as close as its five-blade razors, we didn’t notice much of a difference between the SkinGuard and the other cartridge blades we tested. In fact, excluding the safety razors, we thought it gave one of the closest shaves of the group. Panasonic LV97 ARC5 Electric Cordless Razor offers high-end features while making sure your skin stays protected. One of its best qualities is its unparalleled performing 14,000 CPM motor, giving 70,000 cross-cuts in under a minute. It even has a built-in AI sensor that detects your beard density and sets the power accordingly. Its advanced skin protection razor makes sure you never get a nick.

Our mission is to provide each man with his personalized best shave, blade-close and incredibly gentle. Our new shavers feature SenseIQ technology that senses and adapts to you and your beard type. The rechargeable lithium ion battery delivers the power of a corded shaver without the hassle of a cord. The Merkur Futur gave us the closest shave of all the razors we tested, but it was too heavy to actually hold easily and maneuver around our face. Also, during our drop test, the top section of the compartment that holds the blade popped off, leaving the razor blade somewhere on our floor. We think the Bevel is the better option if you’re looking for a safety razor.
Imagine the horizontal spinning blade on a power lawn mower—but with teeth—and you’ll get the idea. Philips Norelco’s Multi Groomer is a 25-piece grooming kit that can handle any shaving, trimming, or clipping needs you may have. This battery-powered tool comes with self-sharpening steel blades that easily detach and reattach for quick cleaning. There are several factors worth considering in a beard trimmer.
For little more than a tenner, you get an effective shaver, a zip-up travel case, and a pair of batteries to get you started. If you’re flying abroad to finalise that multi-million-pound deal, this might not be the shaver for you. But, for everyone else, the PQ206 is a perfect travel companion. The new Series 7 70-N7200C is – against the odds – even better. Below, we’ve picked the best electric shavers on the market right now for a range of different budgets and requirements.
We tested three of these close-shaving razors, and the Bevel Safety Razor was easily the best of the group. It didn’t feel quite as close as the two Merkurs we tried, but it was much easier to handle and move across our face. Polish off a fresh trim by massaging a couple of drops of the cedar-scented Cremo Beard Oil into your beard. This moisture-restoring oil conditions facial hair and reduces itchiness, plus, it leaves behind a fresh, forest-like smell.
