Product Information

Aside from the above considerations, many premium models offer additional features or accessories, including: Why we chose it: In the record books for "most innovative grooming gadgets," the Philips Norelco OneBlade Hybrid Electric Trimmer and Shaver is definitely in the top ten, maybe even top five. Thanks to its design, like that of a traditional razor, we loved the intuitive design, even for anyone who has shaved with one before. Our testers of all facial hair types agreed: It's sleek, lightweight, and cuts like a dream. It’s also the only razor on this list that comes with length comb attachments. So even if you’re not a clean shave guy, you can still use it to trim and detail your facial hair—even your body (just make sure to use a different blade for your body to avoid cross-contamination). Most of all, we love that it fits easily into our favorite dopp kits, so we don’t need a separate travel case or to save room in our carry-ons just to keep up our shave on the road. If you thought electric shavers were just for faces you’d be wrong – in recent times, the technology has been adapted for use on the head too, which makes shaving your bonce simpler and safer than ever before. This offering from Remington has been designed to be held in the palm of your hand, and features no less than five rotary shaving heads that can flex around the contours of your head, ensuring an all-over close shave.

It’s not just about time-saving. Electric shavers are inherently safer than those with an exposed blade, making them kinder to your face. And they’re more versatile products, too. While a wet shaver can remove hair entirely, electric shavers can reduce hair length, trimming rather than scalping. Our only real grip is that the cleaning station takes up a lot of room in your bathroom, and must be near a plug, so you may opt to not use it. If that’s the case, it can be a slightly costly waste. Ideally, you want to clean your electric razor after every use to keep the blazes sharp. For most modern models, the process is easy as they're designed to be rinsed under running water. Just r inse your razor under water to remove hair and dirt, then take a light brush to your foil to remove any gunk buildup. It's important to maintain the foil on your razor, as that is what helps give you a nice and even shave. That foil is fragile and, if it gets dented or damaged, make sure to replace it immediately as that piece is the proverbial bread and butter to your shave.Unlike shaving with a traditional razor or safety razor, an electric razor has a pretty low learning curve. But that doesn't mean you should just take your electric razor out of the box and start zooming without first knowing how to get a close shave. Battery life comes in at 50 minutes, which means you’ll get around 10 days’ worth of use out of a full charge, although those that travel a lot may prefer a model that lasts for longer. That said, if you want an electric shaver that can deliver a smooth finish, this is one is great value. When choosing a razor, you might come across mains, battery and rechargeable devices. Most electric shavers are rechargeable these days, making them perfect for use both at home or on the move. While some can be used both cordless or from the mains – allowing you to use them even if you’ve run out of charge – you should probably avoid battery-powered shavers. These are designed for occasional use only and using them often could cost you a fortune in batteries. Should I choose a shaver based on my skin type? Most shavers have a proprietary charger but the Remington F6 Style Series Aqua Foil Shaver F6000 can be charged via USB, so it’s great for travelling with. The fact that this shaver comes with a blade cover, cleaning brush and travel pouch reinforces its use as a travel companion.

All in all, it delivered a great shave, though it was a little better on day-old stubble than anything much longer. While it has a detail trimmer for sideburns, it’s still fairly basic in terms of additional features – flashing lights and whatnot – but it’s a cinch to use and to clean, making it a great starter shaver for electric newbies.Thanks to the combination of the two foils and inner blade, the Braun Series 7 Electric Shaver is impressive at dealing with long-ish and short hairs alike. It did struggle a little to catch very long hairs, so we found this shaver a better choice for those who shave regularly.
