20 Best Electric Razor For Brazilian (Feb 2023 Update)

I have used Braun electric shavers daily for the last 25 years and Remingtons before that. My Braun Series 7 sideburn trimmer broke this past week when I replaced the head so I was able to compare the two head to head. Braun 7 with a new foil head versus Series 9 Pro. The 9 Pro was a major improvement to the already fine Series 7 with a new head. I was amazed at the major difference of closeness of the shave and how efficient it was in requiring fewer passes to get a close shave. The shave with the Series 9 Pro was every bit as close as shaving with my Merzur safety razor. The new head design design on the Series 9 is clearly better plus there is a new feature that works really well. The head can be locked in a fixed position or used in in a pivoting position. The instructions recommend the fixed head position for your neck and cheeks. While the pivoting head works well under your nose and on your chin. The pop up sideburn trimmer has been relocated to the rear of the shaver which is a much better location than on the front of the shaver. The new charging case is wonderful for traveling on extended trips. I am amazed at the dramatic improvement of the Braun Series 9 Pro over my previous Braun Series 7. The shaver is a beautiful example of high quality German Design, German Engineering, and German manufacturing. Yes it is made in Germany which I much prefer over Chinese mediocre manufacturing. I highly recommend the Braun Series 9 Pro.pharding

I bought the Series 9 Pro 9465 though I was skeptical. I have always used a Phillips Norelco triple headed rotary shaver because I believed that it was the only thing short of a blade that could give me a clean shave with all the crazy directions my beard grows. The quality of the blades on my Norelco shavers have degraded badly over the years and I find myself grinding the razor against my face for 10 minutes trying to get a reasonable shave and having razor burn afterward. I also don't shave every day anymore and every day past day 1 I go, the worse the shaving experience got. This shaver is amazing! If I shave every day it takes me about 90 second to get a MUCH closer shave than my old shaver, and I even 3 days to test it out and after 3 days the save was just as close and only required a little more effort. I never believed a foil shave could work for me but I'm convinced now. The skin on my face is much happier, and I am too. Pros: Really close shave with minimal effort Very quick to get to that close shave Nice design and fits well in my hand Impressive cleaning/charging station (yet to really test it out) Cons: Its not loud but the sound is high pitched compared to my old shaver and a little uncomfortable VERY pricey, I hope its wicked durable like my Norelcos which each lasted over a decade with just blade replacements Not sure I would spend the extra $100 on the base station if I had the chance to buy it againScoR

Quick assessment: Hefty feel that provides a very close shave, but does take longer to cut every hair with more noise and vibration than other electric shavers. Pros: Extremely high quality and hefty feel. The razor feels “premium” and I doubt it will break or have any quality issues for a long time. I love the attention that was put into the quality. This razor also shaves closer than any other electric razor I’ve tried before. If you are focused on the end result of super smooth skin post shaving, this is a great razor. The shaving head pivots to meet the contour of your face, and glides easily. I did not experience any roughness, scratchiness or other concerns – the razor heads glide smooth without irritation. Cons: Noise and vibration. As this design is a “side-to-side” trimmer, there is a lot more noise and vibration in the trimmer action than I am used to. It is not a defect, just something to be aware. It wasn’t a problem for me most weekends, but during the weekdays it did wake up my wife as I was getting ready for work. Also, while the razor is Li-Ion and can be used cordlessly most of the time, I found it unfortunate that razor does not work WHILE PLUGGED IN as well. I would be worried about forgetting to charge it and then being stuck unable to shave in the morning while waiting for enough charge to get going. Not a huge issue either, but also something to be aware of. Final con I noticed was just the time it takes to properly shave. While the shave is super close, it isn’t super quick and does require a few passes to get everything just right.we98

I really love this shaver. After watching many positive review videos and my old shaver died, I bought this and am really impressed. You can shave with or without shaving gel/cream. The shaver gets close but not as close as other shavers, however it is more than close enough for a professional work environment. The biggest plus is that it is extremely safe, and I have been using for over a month and not one skin irritation or nick. Works great on scalp for shaving head also. Is a little slower than shaving with a regular multiblade razor and not as close, but much safer and no shaving cream needed.MojoBBQ

This is the second OneBlade I have owned. As a stand alone, this is a good trimmer, especially for shorter length trimming. I like most of the new design, especially that the handle is slimmer with a better grip. However when compared to the last model, it falls short in allowable max trimming length and ease of adjustment. The reason is due to the rotating blade head. This new feature is not bad to have, though with the narrow blade, I've never felt the need for it. The rotation doesnt allow for a cap like the previous model, which had a simple dial to adjust length, all the way up to 9. This blade has an attachment which you need to rotate with your thumb. It's not the smoothest or easiest operation. It goes up to 5mm, which isn't bad for a face trimmer, but less than the previous. Overall, this is a solid trimmer which will get the job done well. I dont feel the blade rotation is better than an easier and longer guard adjustment.Jeremy O

This shaver is very impressive. I charged it for a couple hours and decided to give it a go on my 4 day stubble. It's worked like a dream, gives a very close shave almost as close at a razor, I was so impressed. I judge my razors based on how well i can get nice clean lines on my goatee and sideburns and this passed both tests! My goatee looks great and my sideburn lines are crisp and clean. Everything you need to keep your self groomed is included in this great little package. It's nice and compact and would be perfect to travel with. It's also rechargeable! How awesome is that, no more cords or dead batteries here.BillK52

i liked the design and the concept of the trimmer… and I realized before i bought it that i would have to spend money before i found out if it was any good. But such is life, and it does look pretty nifty. Searching reviews wasn’t doing any good, nor were review videos off youtube. Every video and review online is sponsored by Philips, and they’ve cornered the market. Every “review” sounds like a infomertial. You just can’t get an honest opinion. So screw it- i just bought one with trepidation.

It’s been a year since then, and here’s my opinion for what it’s worth. The Philips OneBlade is JUNK! To begin with, i shave my face AND head and do so regularly. However, with three days growth, the blade wasn’t able to make it all the way through without being replaced- straight out the box.

The kicker? It has a 3 month shelf life before it won’t charge enough for a shave. That’s right, i’m on number four because they quit charging. All of them. Even now, i’m headed to court in a suit and tie, and half my face is shaved. the other half has a weeks growth from a holiday. I look like an idiot.

Try googling “OneBlade won’t Charge” and watch a new world open up before you. Thousands of people also have this issue, not to mention blade life when they cost a fortune.

don’t bother.John Bobbitt

Nothin beats an all in one face shaver when you don’t have to go back and forth between different styles of razor's. Philips Norelco OneBlade 360 Face has precise accuracy and gets a very close shave! I love how close it gets without having to use a straight razor. The blade and head of the shaver runs close to the skin to catch the smallest hairs and leaves it baby soft. I was surprised at how well it did with only one pass and hands down will use this one for every shave. Phillips designed this product with shaving in mind and in my several uses, I have yet to see the normal cuts you would get with a regular razor. My favorite part is how the blades line up my beard so easily without frustration. The slim design is easy to see around and fits in a travel bag perfectly. The battery is long lasting and charges very quick. This took over the #1 spot in my shave routine and has been going strong for me without an issue. Phillips nailed this one!!!AudiDad88

First time I used Oneblade I was amazed. Still today I use it almost always over other 3 types of razor I have. Razor(5 blade), trim razor rechargeable, and electric 3 head rechargeable are the three. They all work fine but the Oneblade does the job so much better. This is one of those products that you hope the manufacture doesn't ever discontinue. It is like nothing I have tried before, until you try you will not understand. I know I should tell you how smooth it is, how close it cuts, how it never cuts you, and it is amazing ability to get those curved areas of the face as easy as anything. If you purchase it and you do not like it I give, well it is not my product. But the faith in it is that strong you could put your promise on the product. Price around $29 is the another reason you can come up with to cause any more delay. I will stop acting silly, seriously a great product. This is from a proud owner of one since spring 2022.Joey

Nothing worse than a company praying you don’t read the smaller text. I was unfortunate enough to buy in store to find out that the 100% waterproof is only for cleaning. Very annoying- but maybe passable if its use was good? Absolutely not. Took forever to get anything off my face which a normal razor could have done 3 times over in the time I tried to use this- and my face still isn’t properly shaven. I’d get a refund but I didn’t realize how truly bad this product would be Stick to shaving normally if possible or buy a better razor thats TRULY WATERPROOF if thats what you’re looking forCyrus

This is my first experience with a Braun razor. I wear a beard, but still need to keep my neck & cheeks nice and neat. I shaved with a hand razor for years, it was fine. I was interested in a foil razor, but wasn't sure if I'd be able to keep my definition lines on my face without destroying them. However, a friend of mine who also sports a beard has used a Braun for years, no issues. For the price I paid for this razor, I thought I'd try. Not sure why this little razor isn't getting more love, maybe people just don't know how to shave. It works darn good. I can shave closer & faster than I can with a blade, no irritation, and it does not destroy my beard lines. I can't imagine how good your expensive models shave, this little guy works well. Only wish I could use with a cord, but that's not a deal breaker. Don't ignore this razor!mike6000

There was nothing at all to dislike about this product. I found it to be an amazing piece of machinery. You see I have Parkinson's disease. It eventually became impossible for me to use standard blade razor because I could not twist my wrist to the angles needed to save the contours of my face at the jawline on the sides of my face. This razor is lightweight definitely waterproof and easily glides over all the contours of my face with its pivoting blades. Or I also like to point out that it was easy for me to hold because of the texture of the outside casing of the razor itself you see I have no strength in my hands either. I promise that this razor gives just as close a shave as a standard triple Blade razor.Philip

I am a 75 year old woman and I have trouble raising my arms to groom my hair between cuts. My hair is short and layer cut – almost as short as a man. This worked really well. I was impressed with how it worked to help keep my hair neat and trimmed! The fact that it extends was helpful in getting the back of my hair.me-me

I am a woman who had been going to a barber since 2019, as I wear my hair extremely short, funky, shaved. Unfortunately then there was the coronavirus, so I did not get my hair done for 15 months! Now we have the Delta variant, so I contacted my barber that I was going to put off getting my hair cut for a while. Needless to say, I could tell he was not happy. He did not return my text, which was unprofessional!! I knew I had to do something, so I purchased the Titanium Trimmer; received it yesterday and the batteries were included; and I just used it and it was fabulous! I did it entirely solo! Very easy to use! Very easy cleaning! My hair looks great! So I will no longer get my hair professionally done ever again! I 100% recommend the trimmer!SEXXYLYPPS

This is my second one blade so the fact that I ordered another one says it all! As someone with very sensitive, acne and in grown hair prone skin I was never able to shave using the traditional razor and shaving cream method. I have tried out many hand held razors from cheap to very expensive but none of them lasted more than a few months never mind an entire year. I saw the one blade at my local pharmacy and decided to try it as I’ve had decent success with norelco in the past. This was the shaver I’ve needed and wanted all my life! The flat head design ensures stability while shaving and also makes it incredibly easy to shape my beard, side burns etc. What I love the most about the one blade is that it shaves the skin pretty much as close as a regular razor without the “side effects” of a traditional razor. No longer do I suffer with acne, razor bumps or irritation after shaving. This new one blade greatly improves upon the first iteration in the design of the guides and charging stand. The first one had individual length guides that didn’t really stay on that well and no charging base. I love the design of this new model because the guide stays on even while trimming the jawline and the lcd screen shows how much charge is left. For how small this thing is it has always held a charge very well. I shave about every week-ish and a full charge lasts about a month depending on how much I shave. The disposable heads last a long time as well given I tidy-up the thicker hair of the torso and below the belt, using a separate blade of course. My first one blade has lasted me over 3 years and it would probably still work if I didn’t drop it so much. To sum up my review, if anyone has had the same issues as I have using a traditional razor than I implore you to give this a try! Your skin will thank you!JNYC

I have always struggled with shavers, I am fair haired and my beard grows slowly so I usually go clean shaven but recently I have tried some different lengths of beard. With this Oneblade Pro I can manage the length easily, the guard comes with an adjustable comb so you can set it between 0.5 and 10mm, the best bit about that is it adjusts so simply with a turn of the wheel, the numbers are nice and clear so it's easy to set where you want it and it also doesn't move while shaving so you get a good even shave. I have attached a couple of photos, when I heard I was getting this I let my beard grow out so it was pretty long and untamed, for the first try I basically took it all off with a combination of using the guard and then removing it for a smooth finish, you can see the difference and it was an effortless shave no fuss and a nice smooth face. Battery life wise it's great so far, charged up once, used every day for a week and it's still going strong, I am guessing it will need charging soon but I can't complain at all. It is comfortable in the hand and us really sinple to use, the rotating head makes shaving so easy and it follows the contours of your face very well. It.comes with an extra blade for body shaving which I haven't used yet but its good to have the option. It comes with a standard 2 pin shaving plug for the bathroom socket and the lead is long enough to not cause any issues. It's much better for me than having to use a beard trimmer if I want to have some decent stubble and have a separate razor for when I want to be clean shaved, this does both really well and I would recommend it to anyone.Mooseman34

I will start this review by saying that I've exclusively used electric razors basically since I discovered what they were after I started shaving. I've used many different types and qualities over the years to varying levels of success. Unfortunately, the Philips Norelco Oneblade Pro fails to live up to the hype. In concept, the idea is interesting and unique, but the execution leaves a lot to be desired. To start, the blade touts itself as being able to handle all lengths of hair, and I had gone almost 2 weeks without a shave (which is uncommon for me) so I figured what better way to test it. I tend to shave my neck clean and leave a bit of a 2-3 day shadow on my face so that's what I aimed for. While it accomplished this task, it was much more difficult and took much longer than my traditional method. I started with clean saving using the Oneblade without the guard on it, and it does well enough, although since it only cuts along the top and bottom edges, I found covering large flat areas to be a bit of an interesting experience. Since it doesn't cut directly under the flat middle part of the blade, you have to be sure there is room to move the blade up and down around it without cutting hair you don't want cut. The angle of the blade on the base does not lend itself to this experience. Trying to angle it without flipping it over is nearly impossible, and flipping it over means the teeth of the blade are directly against your skin. Fortunately the rounded edges do save you from any terrible mishaps, but it still does not lend itself to a very easy shaving experience. Once I finished the clean shaven portion of my neck, I attached the comb and set it to '3' (which I imagine is something akin to 3mm of my old Philips Norelco comb. It does manage to keep a consistent 3mm cut throughout, but it's like taking a weed-eater to a full yard of 5ft weeds. Yes, it CAN do it, but it does not do it well. As the blades cut the hair, it would just pile up and jam into the top of the comb until the comb and blades so full of hair they could no longer reach my face, and instead required me to remove the comb, tap out the hair and brush off the blades. The other strange thing about this design is that with the comb installed, only one of the two cutting edges is in use, which means if you only ever use it with the comb installed, or mostly use it with the comb installed, you will dull one side of the blade much sooner than the other. The blade cannot be flipped over to allow you a fresh cutting edge on the side that you use less. One thing I will mentioned about this, is that it is more comfortable than any travel razor I've ever used. So for travel, I would choose it over most other options if you're not willing to pack a bigger or bulkier razor. Bottom line, It will accomplish what it set out to do, but unfortunately it does not do any of those things well. It's comfortable, if a little strange to use and does not nick or cut the skin even if you have to use it at strange angles. But for the same tasks there are better options.Beradon

I received a Braun Series 9 Pro 9477cc Electric Shaver as a free sample from PINCHme for my honest review. This was my first foil-type electric razor I have ever used and I am continually impressed on how well it works after 3 weeks of use. It provides a close shave without irritation I often get from the rotary-type shavers I have used in the past. I have very coarse and thick facial hair and this cuts through very well. The product states it will shave through up to 7 days worth of growth, I could see that if you have finer or more sparse hair than I do, but as for my facial hair, I would say anything more than 4 or 5 days should be trimmed with the included trimmer rather that going right after the growth to avoid some uncomfortable pulling. The cleaning station is awesome and works great, no issues there. Manual cleaning is really easy as well, not having to worry about parts flying out while you do it like rotary shavers. The shaver seems well built and sturdy, we will see how it does long term. The charging case is a nice bonus if you need to bring it along for travel (it is a lithium battery so you may need to see if you can bring it with carry-on or not). There are many positives to be had here, I will point out a few negatives I have noticed. One is that you cannot use this while it is on the charger, as it is a safety feature since this can be used in wet applications (in shower or using shaving gel and creams. Really just a minor inconvenience, just need to remember to keep it charged up. The real major issue is the cost (not a real issue for me as I received it as a sample) looking around it typically retails for over $250+ depending on features. It works well and if you need to have a daily or every other day shave this would make sense, but if you only need to do a touch up here and there you would have to weigh if that cost is worth it to you. All said I would say this is a well made shaver that seems to tick all the boxes for me (smooth shave, little to no irritation, easy to maintain and sturdy) so with that I would definitely recommend it.NK_wi_g9485

I bought the product before the charging case came out, I constantly see advertisements for the series 9 with the charging case. I have asked 2 times in replies if I can purchase the charging case separately. No one responded. Maybe I’ll get a response I had a series 7 prior to the series 9 for many years. The series 7 did not miss hairs like the series 9 does. Also, the cleaner will say it needs a new cartridge after the fluid is at ~50%. The prior cleaner used much more of the cartridge fluid before requiring a new cartridge which made cartridges last longer. I’m hoping that Gillette is not negatively impacting the customer experience to make a little bit more money on cartridges. Especially as I have been a loyal Braun user for many years. I even bought my sons Braun products. So, can I purchase the PowerCase Separately? Due to the high price and my general lack of satisfaction in the performance of the shaver and its cleaning stand. At this point I cannot recommend. If they improve the shaver head to not leave hairs and not pull hairs, I would recommend.Matthew T

I don't normally do this, but here goes… I bought this shaver after a little research. I wanted the best, and one that would last. When the series 9 arrived, I was blown away by the quality and closeness of the shave (though not so great performance on areas of my face with looser skin). The bother came, when after barely 2 months of use, taking care to clean and oil the shaver regularly, the cartridge stopped working. The cartridge which is supposed to last up to 18 months. I thought, "maybe this one was no good?" and ordered another cartridge (new) from ebay. Same. Thing. Happened. A month and a half in, cartridge fails while I'm on a business trip. So aggravating! I buy another one. Malfunction. That's $130 on cartridges within 5 months of purchase. I took a deeper look and saw that there were many reviews- Amazon, eBay, this website, product review websites- that all say the same thing! ***These cartridges are garbage*** Garbage attached to a wonderful machine. ***On top of them being of the poorest quality, they are nearly impossible to find, as this website does not sell, them, nor does anywhere in my vicinity (San Francisco, CA). They must be ordered online from a 3rd party.*** It's just shameful, Braun. Please do something to amend this product. It has been disappointing and frustrating to cope with the fact that I've now wasted $450+ on this shaver and it's useless cartridges, since it now sits sadly in a cabinet in the bathroom. 2 stars because despite the incredibly brief time that the cartridges work, it's great. Like an abusive relationship.RuMo

I had one similar to this two years ago and loved it so I had to get another! It grabbed those stubbles in private areas that a regular razor can’t! The only negative things I have to say is it sometimes it pinches. If you have longer hair that gets into the foil part it pulls and the side blades hurt a little(can cut your sensitive bits)Adriane

By far the worst electric razor I’ve ever used (and I’ve been through several!). You think the pencil-thin $8.50 bikini / fine hair trimmer is rough? Wait until you get yanked, tugged, and scraped by this monstrosity while still keeping 75% of the hair you go over. Waste of money and will be going straight in the trash. Just get Walmart’s cheapest bikini / facial hair trimmer, instead of this torture device.Elizabeth

The Philips Norelco Hybrid Shaver is exactly what I was looking for for my son. My son is 15 and has to shave each week for JROTC. The regular razors my husband uses where causing my son razor burn and cuts. The Philips Norelco Hybrid Shaver creates a smooth, easy shave. My son loves that he can use the razor wet or dry. He prefers to splash a bit of water in his face, and use the Philips Norelco Hybrid Shaver to quickly get the job done. As a parent I love that the razor is rechargeable and gentle on his skin. He has no razor burn or nicks with Philips Norelco Hybrid Shaver’s smooth single blade shave. The blade lasts about four months and is easy to change out with a new one. I highly recommend for preteens or teens that are starting out shaving. Such a easy shave with the Philips Norelco Hybrid Shaver. I received the product as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel.Kfango

When my almost 15 year old son and I were asked by Stellar Product Testing Panel to review the Norelco One Blade razor in exchange for a free razor, I was admittedly skeptical. This razor just looks so different than his previous razor I wasn’t sure how it would work. Well, let me tell you, I was so pleasantly surprised how great this little razor is!! My sons previous razor was big, kind of clunky, and had a round “cage” on top. The one blade is compact, and had a flat smooth surface. It’s easy to hold and operate in one hand, and the best part is it doesn’t pull his whiskers like his old electric razor did. I used to have to almost force him to shave before, because pulled whiskers were painful. The Norelco One Blade never pulls hair. He now shaves about every other day and is done in about two minutes. He said he only has to pass over an area once or twice to get a close enough shave that I don’t see the stubble. The battery charge has lasted probably 20 or more shaves, and the original blade is still working perfectly. When this blade needs replacement I will buy them for him because my son says we can throw away the old razor because he’s never going back to it. He would be mortified if he knew I was mentioning it but other teens might be interested in knowing that this One Blade does not bother his pimples or makes him bleed if he shaves over one. We’ve even used the edge of the blade to trim his hairline on the nape of his neck and to edge his sideburns. He says he would prefer the razor come in black, instead of the blue/green color combo because black is manly and he is manly now that he shaves regularly! However, color is unimportant to me as long as the product delivers on its promises, and this one certainly does! The only one small thing that would have made this product better was if somehow it collected the whiskers instead of them falling on the bathroom counter. Not that big of a deal really, as I’ve just trained my son to wipe the counter down after a shave. Thanks Stellar for introducing us to a product that really and truly has made our mornings smoother….in more ways than one!JaimeSal

Got this for my husband and he couldn't even hold his excitement and tested this out before I got home from work. He has a beard year long that he continues to let grow through the winter. For work reasons he needs to keep it trimmed and clean cut. After using the attachment clippers and shortening his hair down. He decided to go straight in starting on his neck with just the blade and without using shaving cream. He said it did a great job at removing the hair and he finished in under ten minutes. He was left with a little stubble that you can't see unless you point it out. I helped him with the back of his neck and it was easy to keep it steady in my hand and I like that I can just go back and forth. I used the edge to get a few strays hairs I missed and only had to do it once. I have to say it worked so good on him and I like how his hair line turned out. A little loud but no louder than most. Really cool that it can be used in the shower and I can see alot of wives stealing this from their husband. Another thing he liked is the length of the charger cord and that it kept it's charge and didn't turn off on him while he was grooming. This is also great for removing patches of chest and back hair. Overall he liked it very much and happy it worked well on his thick beard. The size and weight is perfect and I recommend it for any beard length!Amberrose061980

Purchased a Series 9 in January of 2022. I believe the manufacturer states that you should be able to get 18 months out of a blade (which are very expensive to replace). I started finding that my beard was taking longer and longer each day to get a good shave out of and as a result, the battery lasts me 5 days at best. This started to happen after about 4-5 months of use. It is difficult to get to the 6 months point without replacing the blade no less 18 months. Given that, it is a very expensive shaver to own and I am disappointed. My Braun series 5 performed much much better but it's been discontinued.stinger

I have used this shaver only twice. Both times dry, once after 3 days of not shaving, once after on day. Shaver is noisy, but the shave is smooth. After 3 days takes a long time. You have to passed on your face several times. If you shave couple of times a week this is not the right shaver. Don't cut the fine hairs on the neck. Curvature of the shaving head dose not allow to reach under the nose. But you can use the trimmer. Trimmer width is too narrow and too close to shaver head. This shaver is not for traveling. Cleaning part to bulky and cleaning solution can not be put in carrying case (TSA), so you need to carry a suite case and pay extra, unless you are travelling first class. No plastic cover for shaving head, but carrying case quite good and sturdy. A plastic cap can be produced in China for about 50 cents. Consumables. Require cleaning solution and lubricant oil. All extra expenses. This a good shaver, but not suitable if you travel and if you don't mind the bulky cleaning and consumable. They don't want to sell just a shaver, but also a steady income stream by selling consumable.Jeffj

I purchased this product about 2 months ago when my older 7000 series shaver finally gave out after more than 5 years. I had used a 3000 series before, and the 7000 was a great upgrade and provided a clean comfortable shave. I thought the 9000 series was an upgrade from the 7000, but apparently I was completely wrong. My first shave with this razor was extremely painful, pulling hairs constantly and also provided a much worse cut than my old 7000 series. After my first shave with it the very first response my wife gave me was "Why didn't you use the new shaver you just got?" That hurt almost as much as the shave. In any case, I decided it might just be the new style of shaver head and my beard/face needed time to "adapt" and gave it a while. After one month, no change, and today is the 2 month anniversary and I'm done with this razor. It still pulls multiple times every shave with just one day worth of hair growth, and I have to shave twice as long (at least) to get anywhere near the closeness of shave I get with my old 7000 series. I think part of the issue is the new foil design, specifically the gold cover which appears to have box holes that basically just grab and yank out hair, baffling design to me. In any case, I will warn everyone I know to stay very far away from this razor. If you happen to be unlucky and have one yourself, I'd urge you to upgrade to a 7000 series shave as you will find it works better than this razor in every way. Shaving in the morning shouldn't feel like punishment and having to suffer through constant yanks and burns, and that's all this razor provides. I honestly have no idea where the positive reviews for this thing come from, unless they've just never used an electric shaver before and don't know how much better things can be when they are done right.DevDan

I have always been leary of buying an electric razor. However, over the past few years the cost of razor blades has skyrocketed and the quality of shave has deteriorated just as fast. I was tired of paying for razors that gave you a lousy shave. I was in the military and I know what a close shave is supposed to feel like. I took the plunge and purchased this razor. This razor has worked really well. The quality and closeness of shave is equal to anything I could get from a disposable razor. It takes a couple of weeks for your face to get used to shaving with an electric razor. It has been almost a month since I purchased the razor and I no longer feel any irritation at all. It is very easy to clean and the charge lasts for weeks. I will not back to using high priced low quality razors. You get what you pay for and this razor is very high quality razor at a reasonable cost.Rodger

I have long used cartridge razors, but no more. I’ll preface this with I have sensitive skin and prone to ingrown hairs & razor bumps. I used this in both my face and legs, and it’s the smoothest, least irritated my skin has ever been. There are even some contours I could get smooth with a good cartridge razor that I was able to get with this. I used it ‘wet’ with a foaming shaving cream. I also exfoliated first. The result blew me away. We’ll worth the money.mime3rdbase

I have never been as disappointed with a product as I was with this one. After all the glowing reviews and even some ratings calling it the best electric shaver ever made I took the plunge and switched from my Norelco. I have used for two weeks and the shaves are abysmal. Even after going over the same area 3-4 times there is still stubble left. Shaving the neck is even worse. Going over every area of my neck from every conceivable angle and there is still substantial stubble left. The only good comment I can make is that it feels good in the hand. ReDisappointment

I've been shaving with Philips Norelco shavers for many decades and have had all the flagship shavers including the James Bond and the Smart Touch XL and currently own the AT830, 8900 series and the 9721 shaver with cleaning station. I tell you this so that you are aware that I know a thing or two about Philips shavers. I'll concentrate solely on the shaver itself since my previous review was declined. The shaver's handle is squarish and non-ergonomic making it difficult to hold for anyone (like myself) with arthritic hands. Unlike the Prestige or the older 9000 series (i.e. 9700 and 9300) that were contoured, this handle is simply long and uncomfortable to hold and maneuver. Secondly, the heads are squared off making it difficult to shave under the nose and under the sideburns and close to the ears. The only way to achieve even a modicum of closeness in these areas is to turn the shaver 90 degrees so that either side faces these areas because the sides of the head plates have less area from edge to combs/blades. While it is possible to achieve a reasonably close shave by doing this maneuver, it is not easy nor comfortable. This is, in my opinion, a design flaw that needs to be addressed by Philips. I could say more about my experience owning this shaver (I bought it; it was not part of a promotion) but I'd rather have this review okayed so that other potential buyers can be informed.westlaner

Philips 9000 I have been using Philips shavers for half a century now, and even when I have occasionally tried an alternative I always return to them. My previous shaver was the 9000 Prestige, so that is my main point of comparison, and I have been using this new model for two months so this review is more than an initial reaction. It improves on the Prestige in a number of respects, not least the charging method. I could never see the point of the ‘wireless’ charger of the Prestige, which itself had to be plugged in and was really quite large and unsuitable for travelling, leaving me once without its use when we were locked down abroad at the start of the pandemic and I had not taken the charger. This newer model has a much smaller wired charging stand which charges the shaver in about an hour, compared with the 3 hours the wireless one took. A full charge gives about 100 minutes of shaving which lasts me a little over 3 weeks. You can use it wet or dry, and I find I get a better shave using it wet with soap, but for a quick trim before maybe going out of an evening a dry run over is OK. Lights below the head indicate whether you are pressing too hard or too softly on your face, or just right. I soon found my pressure was OK and so switched this feature off, but it is useful to get started with. The cleaning station is an improvement over earlier Philips versions as it is independent of charging the shaver and does not itself need to be plugged in. Philips have returned to a flip out long hair trimmer on the back of the shaver, rather than having to replace the shaving head with a trimmer as with the Prestige. A weakness is that there is rather a lot of surround of the actual cutters on the shaving head, and this makes it difficult to get into tight places such as under the nose, so you have to use the trimmer to shave that area. Then there is the App. Well, I suppose everything has to have an App these days, so you can’t blame Philips for trying, but if they think I am going to stand in a steaming bathroom over a sink of hot water with a shaver in one hand and my phone in the other, well… But in the end this is a new model and not particularly cheap (depending on what offer you might get), so the main question has to be, does it give a better shave? The answer, for me at least, is yes, but only just. The 9000 Prestige was a quantum leap from its predecessor, and while this does improve on that, it is only marginal. But then that is the law of diminishing returns and Philips have now reached a point where improvements are incremental rather than game changing. Overall though I do recommend this shaver as Philips’ best shaver yet.Whyanickname

I've had roughly the previous 5 generations of the top of the line Philips shavers so I feel I have some good experience when writing this review. I did NOT buy the previous 9000, on account of the fact they had the ridiculously pointless wireless charging. Thankfully Philips saw the error of that gimmick and have re-introduced FAST charging that they nailed down to 1 hour – so I went for this! To the first most glaring new addition – the LED "SkinIQ". This I honestly believe is merely a gimmick, and I have switched the LED off. If you're paying this much, chances are that you've bought previous Philips shavers, so you'll already know how to shave effectively with them. But this generation is far more than just a gimmick – it is a radical new design, and not just with the shaver itself. When I first saw the plastic surrounds around the shaving heads, I again instantly thought "gimmick". However, when I thought about the design, it seems that they're designed to encase the shaver heads completely, and possibly protect them from staining and possibly even damage from shaving gel – which for me is perfect because I CANNOT dry shave comfortably as my skin is horribly sensitive. The next extremely welcome design change is the re-introduction of the flip up side burns trimmer. I saw many comments from Philips users bemoaning the removal of this in the previous couple of generations and I completely agreed with them. This is a really welcome return – but it might be the cause of the one downside to the design – and that is that the position of the power button has been raised higher – to pretty much exactly where your thumb rests holding the shaver when shaving with it. This is going to take some getting used to. Another radical redesign is the cleaning station – which is now a "pod". So radical, in fact, that the cleaning pod does not even need a separate power supply – instead you plonk the shaver into it and press the power button on the shaver! The display on the shaver looks like something from a sci-fi film now – I LOVE it. But don't think it's all style – this shaver is very much substance. The shave itself is comfortable, and the performance is strong. Of course it misses hairs at times – there is no shaver on the planet that won't – and anyone who tries to suggest otherwise is being economical with the truth. The trick is to take note of the areas you're still finding hairs after the shave, and pay extra attention to those next time around. All in all, this is the best package Philips has ever done with the 9000 series. The cleaning solution is great because it's space saving, and fast. The return of the sideburns trimmer, the dropping of the wireless charging gimmick and return to the 1 hour charging that we all love. Philips do not make the best of EVERY product, but in shaving I honestly believe that they are unrivalled. And I HAVE tried the rivals.InsanityDaily

I received yesterday, the shipping was fast. Upon taking it out of the box it looks and feels well made. It comes with an instruction booklet that is very easy to read and understand. I used the shaver attachment and it seems to work well. I have not used any of the other attachments yet.mdall_12

It does not work like the company says. Also you have to go and purchase an additional adapter for the base charger to work. I will not recommend this product to anyone.kkel_us_z0gidd

Wonderful Addition To This Line. I Struggled For Years To Shave My Underarms. This Shaver Makes It So Easy To Do, Just The Right Angle.barb

I bought a $10 bikini trimmer at a bargain store about a decade ago. It became my absolute favorite HG trimmer that never failed me. I could literally have my whole area done in 5 minutes, and felt smooth as a baby's bum. No pain or dealing with the horrible after-shaving itchies/ingrowns. Good times. It finally died and since then, I've bought countless trimmers from cheap to expensive hoping to find one that matched up to that cheap trimmer but had no luck. I had such a bad experience with one that it nearly turned me off to these trimmers. It nicked and pulled hairs/skin and I became so scared to use it I just went to waxing which is not fun and a monthly expense I didn't want to afford. Finally took a chance on this one despite the mediocre reviews and I'm SO GLAD. this is it! If you're looking for something ten times better than shaving (no itching, ingrown hairs, etc) and something that is the next best thing to the smoothness of waxing, this is it. It's completely painless, you can apply a lot of pressure to really get the hairs at the base and it will never pull hair or nick skin. You can get into the hard-to-reach areas with ease. The hair also grows back thinner for whatever reason. It's truly magical and that's why I'm here writing a ridiculously long review on how life-changing it is. You're welcome 🙂Bree

I always use had usedPhilips bikini line (pink one).. target did not have it so I got this. DOES NOT WORK- what is the use of a cute little light if it can not shave the hair it shows you??! And I use for just a few random face hairs not even bikini line!!Me

I was pleasantly surprised how well this works, having given up on electric shavers decades ago. It shaves relatively close when I've used it dry, and conforms to the body shape. I haven't yet used it wet. It happens that the charger doesn't fit well in my bathroom – the outlet is under the medicine cabinet, and the razor has to angle out when the charger is plugged in, so this will work better where the razor can stand tall in the outlet.gorgesblonde

I thought this would be an upgrade from a cheaper electric trimmer I was using, but it kept pinching and hurt a lot. It left uneven patches, even on lighter areas despite going over the areas multiple times. Debris builds up underneath the popup trimmer too. It took longer than using a regular cheap razor due to the uneven patches, so this does not seem worth it.Sunshine

Didn't shave well and it bites. I was not impressed. I tried it on soft fine hair as well as more coarse hairs and it didn't remove either well. I ended up putting it to the side and using a traditional Billie razor. Super disappointed because I wanted to love it. Will be returning.Ccueto

The product pictured and described on the Ulta app is The item pictured / described on the Ulta App is not the same item I received. The shaver came earlier today. It has ONE shaving head not two. There is NO charging base, only a plug in wall charger. When I called customer service they could not tell me if the replacement item they are sending will actually be the two head shaver with a charging base. ((Why?!?)) I guess I'll have to wait for another 7-10 days for my "maybe it is, maybe it's not" the right item to arrive.Wendy

Bought for in store pick-up. I was provided a completely different razor that does not come with a base. The color around the button is solid pink and not white. And it has a dofferent head. All other stores sell that version along with the one advertised here. The employee berated my husband telling him he does not know anything that this is the new and improved model she provided us in our order. That it does not matter that it does not come with a base or that the head only has a single blade. Tried to shove a razor that elsewhere sells down my hsubands throat for $10 that does not match the product they list here (elsewhwre also sells this razor and it is the same price). Just lost a long time customer. Do not try to pawn off cheap products by advertising something else and stating what you are giving them is just a new version (when it is not.)SarHD

I am diagnosed with Pelvic Congestion Syndrome and currently live in an apartment that has a stand up shower. When I say the struggle to shave my legs is real, its REAL. Probably the coolest item Ive boughten over the holidays. Works perfectly! I was skeptical about the dry shave but my legs are smooth and presentable after! Just wow!!Simply C.

I paid $8 for this at Ross. Figured it was about as cheap as one of those throw away blades. No big loss if it serves no purpose. This thing -isn’t a replacement for old school blades if you want a razor close shave. I use a nice set of wahl hair/beard trimmers on my head and face and use a razor on the face if I want it super smooth. This thing is better for body hair and has a much less aggressive motor and a greater feeling of safety when used in and around sensitive areas. I sample tried on my leg and thigh and was impressed with the smoothness. I tried on my face and I need the power of my $50 wahl. In my teenage or early twenties this thing would have been perfect for a quick no nick face shave that’s super cheap. My girlfriend hasn’t used it yet but she’s excited to try.Tyler Wilson

I was greatly disappointed with this razor on first trial. After reading numerous scathing reviews had given up on the idea that this was a good purchase. I ordered a new blade just to rule out that the original blade was defective. It was not. The new blade was just as bad as the original. I bought this razor last January. Before throwing it away I decided to take one more look at the razor. The body and motor seemed to be well made and the motor is certainly sufficient to cut a hair. Maybe the problem is the blade. My best guess is that the lubricants used in the manufacturing process are not removed after the blade is assembled, and over time and dry into a sticky varnish like coating. I noticed this when trying to move the blade manually. I washed the blade in alcolhol then lubricated it with a light oil.The razor performed very well. Try this. Hope it works for you. Best regards, R Bectrbect

Love this shaver. I use it without cream or soap . I suppose you could use some lubricant but I've shaved many times with the original head and it still works great. Clean shave everytime. Once again nice.Joe Davias (Award Roofing)

This is by far the best shaver EVER! I tried all, phillips latest versions, braun other series and many other brands. But the 9 Series did the trick for my sensitive skin and the most stubborn coarse hair, which is growing in several direction. I do have to shave for about 5-7 minutes a day to achieve the closest shave, and with interval shaving, since the skin needs to rest after shaving for couple of minutes for the beard to show up again (This is one of the tricks I myself came up with and it works for me). It shaves my head every single day and beard and I've had it for 2+ years, I am on my 3rd shaving head (including the original). I am super pleased with this shaver, I can't say enough good things about its performance. CON? Okey, the plasticky feeling of the body of the shaver doesn't have the previous 7 Series generation premium feel to it, it feels more unstable due to this reason. The shaver pivoting head has started making creaking noise and yes I DO USE its original cleaning liquid and the stand. (so there aren't any questions asked about it's lubrication). OVERALL? BUY IT %100. You will save money on electric shaver vs "Gillette" shaving heads and I had 2 of my friends switch after a year of begging them because I knew how they'd love the shaver. They both called me and actually said THANK YOU for recommending the BRAUN 9 Series Shaver!BESTSHAVER

I love this razor! I've been using a 3 head rotary head for years. I got tired of the head falling off when shaving under my jaw to my neck. I switched to this Braun and haven't been disappointed. It shaves CLOSER than my old electric razors, as close as a razor blade but without the nicks and cuts. Even when I haven't shaved for several days and whiskers are 1/8" – 1/4" long, it takes less minutes to get a close shave than my other electric razors with day old whiskers, and I haven't read Braun's emailed article [yet] on how to get a close, smooth shave. I like the integrated trimmer on the back of the handle. My last razors had a pop-on trimmer attachment after removing the head, and the latest one didn't have space for it in the traveling case! The chrome with a few black highlights looks sharp and classy. The charging & cleaning stand works well, though noisy during the cleaning cycle which might keep some awake or annoy if in the same room. It came with a nice, hard case. I have used this razor since the end of November '21.BruceFinSanDiegoCounty

I have owned the Panasonic Arc5, and I recently purchased the Braun Series 9. In sum, I find the Braun Series overall is better. Here's my comparison: PROS: 1) Both shavers are solid and well built, however the Braun Series 9 is lighter and feels more ergonomic in the hand; 2) The Braun oscillates faster at 40,000 p.m. via sonic vibrations, whereas the Panasonic Arc5 oscillates at 14,000 p.m. via magnetic levitation technology; 3) The Braun has a superior cutting head as it is in one piece, rather than two separate cutters and a separate foil as in the Panasonic Arc5; 4) The swiveling head of the Braun Series 9 tracks better around the curves of the jaw line and neck, whereas I find the heavier head of the Panasonic Arc5 tends to "flop around" a bit too much; 5) the Braun Series 9 so far offers a closer shave, although the Panasonic is almost as good. CONS: The downside of the Braun is the inferior cleaning cleaning base. The Panasonic cleaning base is better-designed with better colour light indicators and uses a simple small pouch with liquid detergent. The Braun cleaning base however has a simpler readout and requires replacing a large large plastic tank of flammable cleanser every month, which is not environmentally friendly. NOTE: The Braun Series 8 PRO offers an ingenious recharging travel case with integrated battery, but this model is very expensive. Conclusion: The Panasonic Arc5 shaver is very good, however if you can afford to pay a bit more, the Braun Series 9 offers a superior and closer shave.Tony

This is the second OneBlade I have owned. As a stand alone, this is a good trimmer, especially for shorter length trimming. I like most of the new design, especially that the handle is slimmer with a better grip. However when compared to the last model, it falls short in allowable max trimming length and ease of adjustment. The reason is due to the rotating blade head. This new feature is not bad to have, though with the narrow blade, I've never felt the need for it. The rotation doesnt allow for a cap like the previous model, which had a simple dial to adjust length, all the way up to 9. This blade has an attachment which you need to rotate with your thumb. It's not the smoothest or easiest operation. It goes up to 5mm, which isn't bad for a face trimmer, but less than the previous. Overall, this is a solid trimmer which will get the job done well. I dont feel the blade rotation is better than an easier and longer guard adjustment.Jeremy O

This shaver is very impressive. I charged it for a couple hours and decided to give it a go on my 4 day stubble. It's worked like a dream, gives a very close shave almost as close at a razor, I was so impressed. I judge my razors based on how well i can get nice clean lines on my goatee and sideburns and this passed both tests! My goatee looks great and my sideburn lines are crisp and clean. Everything you need to keep your self groomed is included in this great little package. It's nice and compact and would be perfect to travel with. It's also rechargeable! How awesome is that, no more cords or dead batteries here.BillK52

This razor/trimmer is really nice. I got this swivel one after owning the original. I loved the original one. Perfect for taking care of those sensitive areas. This one blade 360 is even better. The head swivels and follows the contours of your face/body. This razor doesn't cut as close as a traditional razor, but pretty close. Very good substitute. Can use shaving cream and/or water for even a closer shave. Blade seems to last a long time. Compared to traditional razors the blade lasted me longer then 50 traditional razors. . Rechargeable, and battery lasted 2 months or more before needing to recharge. Highly recommend this razor for all your body/face grooming needs.Stringshredder
