It’s also washable for simplified cleaning—however, using it in the shower is not recommended. The clever Smart Hair sensor measures the density of facial hair 125 times per second and automatically adjusts the amount of pressure used to shave. The Motion Control sensor monitors your Remington Shaver shaving style and directs you to a more effective one. To prevent your face from irritation, shaving heads are encircled by ComfortGlide rings, a unique protective coating with skin-gliding qualities. Sometimes all you need is a quick closet shave to smoothen out your stubble.
Its battery holds an impressive six-hour charge and lasts for months, if that’s how long you go between trims. Mowbie offers an elegant design, waterproof blades, and a matte black finish, making it the best-looking electric shaver besides being the most affordable one. A rather old-fashioned design at heart, this is short and stubby and designed to be pressed sideways into your beard rather than upwards. It’s a little reminiscent of an updated version of the electric razors of the 1950s. This is a rotary shaver and so you use it by rubbing it on your face in a circular motion.
While the cable was tough to push in, pulling it out required a good amount of strength. I’ll be honest, I am not a fan of having a shaver dock forced upon me. I feel that they are a greedy cash grab by manufacturers to lock you into buying a disposable item on a regular basis. We did find that this was true of cheaper models but once you get to the higher end like where we are now, there is no pulling whatsoever. I must point out that not a whole lot of pressure is needed for an effective shave. This is largely thanks to the head pivoting in various directions as it crosses the contours of your face.
One of the first things you’ll notice about the 2300 shaver is that it looks odd. The blade doesn’t look like a standard facial hair trimmer at all. The Dual SteelPrecision self-sharpening blades make up to 150,000 cutting actions per minute, Remington Shaver requiring less strokes and resulting in reduced skin irritation. You would think a higher model number would come with more features. The 9800 actually comes with less and is Philips Norelco’s budget 9000 series electric shaver.
The new Philips Norelco Shaver 2300 is a basic rotary shaver that uses a typical shaving unit with 3 cutters. A couple drops of oil or a quick spray of cleaner can keep your razor in great shape and ensure a comfortable shave. For travel, Philips Norelco offers a hard case that’s considerably bulkier than those that come with the foil razors we tested.
