Best Electric Razors For Teens (2025 Update)

When I was introduced to shaving, I tried my Dad's Sunbeam, Remington foil and a DE analog. I ended up doing the DE and got tired of nicks and cuts and skin irritation. in 1972, I started an almost 50 year relationship with Norelco "rotary" products. I went as high as $200+ in that line and it seems they have plateaued as far as technology advances are concerned. I was fed up with the poor quality of replacement blades available today, so I began a search for a replacement shaver. After reading numerous reviews, mostly pro, I decided to give the Arc5 a shot. All I can say is if you find yourself in my spot, do not hesitate. Get this shaver with the cleaning/charging unit, STAT! PROS: The closest shave I've gotten, next to a razor, EVER. Did NOT irritate my skin (I have sensitive skin) Larger head > shorter shave time Flex head follows your facial contours (jaw line, neck, etc.) Beard "sensor" adjusts to your beard's current length. Trimmer does a good job. Shaver has a "built-in" cleaning function, which you can use if you're travelling, or in between "tank" cleanings. Head size and shaving method delivers a faster shave. The cleaning/charging base has a "Dry/charge" function. CONS: Price of replacement heads and cleaning solution concentrate. I got this in anticipation of my upcoming birthday (thank you, honey!) and read the manual. I HAD to check the unit out, so I put some pre-shave lotion on and charged the shaver. Some people complain about the size of the shaver. It really is comparable to the Norelco I was using, but the shape of the head is what speeds your shave along. (It covers more territory). Since there is usually a break-in time for new shaving methods, I expect my shaves to improve over the next week. I used primarily an up and down motion on my face, then I changed direction and orientation on my chin and neck. One complaint I avoided is on my upper lip I have a moustache, so I didn't have a problem with trying to get a close shave there. After finishing and evaluating the shave quality, I took the head off, and rinsed it and the shaver under the tap. Then, I wiped excess water off both and reassembled the unit and dropped it into the cleaning/charging base and put it on dry. I haven't used the cleaning function of the tank yet, but will update my review after I've done so. For things like shaving my ears, I have a companion Panasonic trimmer that I use for things no shaver can do. Summary: Get one! You have 30 days to decide whether you want to keep it.RubberToe

I read a lot of reviews before purchasing this razor. after a month using every other day I havent experienced any of the negatives I read about. I use it on my head and neck below my beard. I found if I use it every other day or 3rd day on my head it shaves easy and as smooth as a razor. Like all electric razors it does not do well with long hair. the only draw back i have is the razor head is large. Which helps speed up the process doing my whole head but little difficult around the top of my ear to sideburn section. I still think its best razor I have ever used in 20 years though. The charging/cleaning station is so nice. Yea it can be a little loud on the cleaning portion but its the razor turning on and off so what's the difference when you use it? Travel case and option to still sharge it with just the cord is well thought out. Mean I dont have to lug the station with me when I go away for a week. But after 20 use Im still at 80 to 85 percent So i likely wouldnt need to charge it anyway.Abult

I was very hesitant to try an electric razor, considering my beard is full and thick and grows quickly. I had been using a DE razor and wet shaving for the last few years. I tired of the time and blood. I researched the closest cutting electric razor sand this one seemed to be among the best. Turns out that I like it even more than I had hoped. It shaves close and quickly. It allows me to shave daily or go 3 days and handles both situations with comfort. Been using for about a month and I will never go back to blades and cream and the hassle. If I'm careful and focused this razor is basically as close a blade. A solid shave takes under 4 minutes and I experience no issues at all even with somewhat sensitive skin. If you're considering an electric razor, I'd start right here. The closeness, comfort, and convenience will truly change your mornings.Berg

Been shaving for 45 years, and mostly with Panasonic shavers. They are by far the best shavers made. I have 4 Panasonics in my collection right now… the ES8249, ES-LF51 ES-LA93 and the new ES-LV97. Whats nice about Panasonic is that the charger/cleaning station can be used interchangeable with almost any of it models in a pinch. I've used Braun, Reminington and most the top brands and Panasonic is the best, IMHO. The Braun had an annoying vibration to it and not as smooth as the Panasonics. My current shaver is a ES LA93 which is very good but only has 3 blades The ES-VS97 in new and improved, and I mean that literally. The 5 blade head are smooth and soft, and cut with less swipes than the ones with 3 blades. The pop up trimmer is a big improvement over older models, as it locks in place moving in either direction. Lastly, cosmetically it is much nicer looking with a matte black finish.cgnaked

I’m switching to this electric Panasonic Arc5 razor after having used another brand’s wet/dry electric razor for the past 13 years. The Arc5 razor is lightweight, and the matte black plastic doesn’t look or feel very premium, however, a silver/chrome model is also available and the warranty is 2 years. This razor performs very nicely and gives me a close shave both when using dry and wet with shaving cream. I very rarely have to make more than one pass over the same patch of skin, though I find that when shaving dry it’s easier to pull the skin taught to raise the hairs since I don’t have to work over the shaving cream. The first time I used the razor I did experience a bit of razor burn and irritation, especially around the Adam’s apple; the manual suggests that it could take up to 30 days of regular use for your skin to acclimate to the new shaver. That, plus I haven’t clean shaven properly in weeks as growing out your beard has become quite trendy during the COVID-19 pandemic. That said, I did use the trimmers first to trim my facial hair down to stubble before shaving and was impressed with the efficiency and smoothness of the pop up trimmers; they didn’t catch, pull, or snag once, which my old electric razor used to do constantly. If you like the stubble or 5 o’clock shadow look, you could probably even stop there. The LCD is bright and easy to read, but it really only gives you information about the remaining battery life and whether or not it is set to the “cleaning” mode. The charging cable connector is uniquely shaped, so if you lose it or it breaks, you’ll need to get a model/series specific replacement cable. It lasts about 2 weeks on a full charge (1 hour) if your daily shave averages about 3 minutes. While the unit I have did not come with a charging base, there are contacts on back of the handle for automatic charging when the razor is placed into a charging base. What I did find interesting about this razor is its beard density sensor which changes the motor speed based on the density/coarseness of the section of beard it is trimming. You can hear the motor sound change as it encounters thinner or thicker patches of hair, which works well on my uneven and patchy beard growth. The razor also has a cleaning cycle and comes with blade oil to maintain the blade sharpness and a brush to clean out any shavings. The top pops off easily for cleaning, and the foils and blades are simple to remove and replace when needed. The unit did come with a leatherette carry case and a plastic protective cap for travel. Overall, I really like this razor and think it performs nicely for my daily shaving needs.ReviewedByPhil

My beard may be a bit different than the avg. guy’s beard. I’m not a hairy guy, & I don’t have a thick, coarse, stubbly beard. If I don’t shave during the work week, I won't end up with a stylish 5 o’clock shadow until Friday afternoon–a look that a lot of other guys can achieve in just 1 day. But even with my soft, thin facial hair, this electric razor doesn’t offer the close shave I’d hoped for. In fact, the number of passes I’m forced to make over my face & neck to obtain a clean, whiskerless mug is both annoying & time-consuming. So, despite my slow-growing beard, if I don’t shave at least 2-to-3 times/week w/this electric razor, then I’m forced to revert to a disposable razor for a clean shave. In addition, I found that the shaver’s large head makes it a bit unwieldy & difficult to obtain a close shave in the area just beneath my nose. Whether shaving wet or dry & regardless of technique (going against the grain, stretching the skin, toggling the shaver head between the “free” & “lock” positions, utilizing the pop-up trimmer, etc.), I also found it difficult to get a clean shave under my jaw line, below my sideburns. I experienced similar difficulty in shaving the tiny hairs in the lower neck/throat area on either side of my Adam’s apple. Although some may prefer to utilize the razor’s wet shave capability, I don’t like to shave in the shower. Although I did try the wet shave option, it didn’t cut any better than the dry shave. So, after 2 tries at wet shaving, I went back to traditional dry shaving. As for the suggested shaving cream option, I don’t use shaving cream with an electric razor. For me, the whole pt. of an electric razor is convenience & time savings vs. dealing w/the hassles of a manual razor (running hot water, applying/removing shaving cream/gel, & cauterizing bloody nicks, etc.). Simply put: an electric shaver should provide a QUICK, safe, close shave without all the mess & fuss. Although a 2-yr. mfr.’s limited warranty sounds impressive vs. the industry std., a quick check revealed that the common recommended replacement parts (new blades & foils) aren’t inexpensive. So, I doubt I’ll be able to justify the expense of regular maintenance w/this razor (apart from routine cleaning). Instead, I’ll probably elect to put those funds towards the cost of a new shaver. Furthermore, the lithium ion battery life is just 3 yrs., & it isn’t intended to be replaced by the consumer. In some ways, this shaver could almost be considered an expensive disposable razor. On a minor note, the black travel case/pouch feels like cheap vinyl without any real padding or cushioning to fully protect the hardware & sensitive electronics. Overall, I'm a bit underwhelmed & disappointed, as I expected greater performance—namely, a closer, quicker shave—from a premium electric shaver at this price point.CriticalEye

Pros – Excellent razor. Closest shave I have ever had. Fast and easy shave due to excellent blades. Cons – Requires a bit of maintenance. You need to run the “cleaning program” every day (personally I do it every other day). Some water and a cleaning solution shoots up into the case and cleans the razor once activated (1 pack of solution is provided for one month – available on Amazon sold as a pack for a reasonable price). This seemed like a bit of a pain at first, especially changing the solution every month, but the razor looks brand new and is working like it was just out of box many months later, so I think it’s worth it. Note – the first ten minutes of the cleaning process are VERY NOISY. The last 60 or so of the drying process aren’t too bad. Don’t expect to clean this razor before you head off to work if your partner is within 25 yards. It’s like waking up to someone vacuuming your pillow.Kayak4

The Panasonic Arc 5 Wet/Dry Electric Shaver with Self-cleaning recharger is outstanding. I've used safety razors for years and decided to try and electric. The Panasonic was the best choice!! If you've been using blades it takes around a month for your face to adapt to an electric but after that time using the electric is great!! Especially with the Self-cleaning recharger. It keeps your razor clean and charged so you always get a great shave. Be sure you read all the instructions so you can get the most from your razor.Steve

I have been using this shaver for 2 years now primarily for bald head shaving. I have also found it very useful for neck shaving since I have a heard. The pop up trimmer is very sharp and precise. I use the pop up trimmer just above my top lip to straighten out my beard. This pop up trimmer is my go-to for precise trimmer when I need it as it is sharper than my other beard trimmers. This trimmer is very powerful, long battery life and my favourite part is the cleaning station. All you have to do after a shave is use a brush to remove the hair from the cutting blades, then drop it in the cleaning station and walk away… Excellent. I had a problem with the cleaning station and I was near the 2 year exchange warranty. I highly recommend contacting panasonic directly for this. I contacted best buy and they maintained it's only a 1 year warranty. It is NOT, it's definitely a 2 year warranty. They just shipped me a brand new replacement unit. Awesome!!Anonymous

This is a great, Great Razor!!! It must be charged for the night or a few hours when you first get it though. You don't need to leave it plugged in though. Once it has been charged fully, you will have several days worth of power. It is very quiet, it gives a really close shave and it is really smooth on the face. In addition, it is very simple to clean. You can removed the guard and it reveals the blades of the razor. You just run some water over the blades and it removes the hair clippings.bj987keller

The Good: Great feel, grip, shave, ease of cleaning, quick charge time, trimmer is handy for sideburns to shape them up between haircuts. The Bad: I have now gone through two of these in about 2 years….the first lasted about 18 mos, the second, about 5. Problem? For whatever reason, after awhile, it will not charge. I also use shaving cream when I get out of the shower and use the razor, rinse it before, during and after use….and always and I mean always, after the period of time, you get up, plug it in, go in the shower, come out, dead. It won't charge. My guess? The Lithium Ion Batts. While ALL batteries have a lifespan, they should be much longer thant this. I rinse the head during shaving (shaving cream buildup and hair) 2-3 times while shaving paying attention to let the water drain down 90-95%….I don't think it's water intrusion….as deep as this thing goes is running it under the faucet head down? I used both the old and new charger….the new one shows all power lights on for about 2-3 seconds, goes dim, dead……there is something about these batteries that are not right….I am off to Walmart this mornign to get a 3rd in less than 3 years THIS time WITH the cheap warranty…..I have used Brauns for over 30 years and the batteries always seem to be the issue…do NOT pack them in luggage that will go in the cargo hold or you will find them dead, not chargeable when you get to your destination…this one is ONLY used at home. I take a cheap corded Braun on the road and it's about 20 years old now, still works but it's a dry shave…irritating…….I like the ability to use shaving cream for a much more comfortable shave but, this battery thing is aggravating…..over the 30 years I have gone through multiple 3, 5, 7 and 9 series razors…they ALL have battery failures eventually…so you end up buying a new one…..why? Because the other brands suck MORE. I have had Remington, Norelco (couldn't shave close with a gun to it's head), Chinese knockoffs even a small cordless from Harbor Freight that despite is size and slow speed delivered a great shave until it quit working…..it seems that if a rechargeable battery is run for 20 mins a day max, 6-7 days a week, it SHOULD last more than 6 months….never dropped, never abused, always left open on the counter after rinsing to let the head and razor dry after separated….still died….ridiculous…..I only hope the warranty is worth something when the next one croaks….no warning either….just dies…..still the best brand overall….Terry

I've never really liked wet dry shavers but this one changed my mind. it shaves flawless and leaves you face as smooth as using a traditional razor. i love that it's wireless and it charges very quickly and stays charged for a great amount of time. and cleaning is a breeze with the included brush and removable heads. you can also remove the head and run it under water for a deep clean. all around this is and excellent shaver.James

I was thoroughly impressed by the Remington Heritage shaver Titanium. It comes with numerous features that make it more amenable to consumers. One of the most important things for me when I look at a shaver is the quality. This shaver is heavy enough to be of high quality with good materials and workmanship, but not so heavy that it is too heavy to use. I've used electric razors in the past, but this one beats them all in quality. I also love the wet/dry feature where it is able to be used with both shaving cream or without it. Using it in the shower is also a possibility which is very helpful when you need to be somewhere quickly. In terms of functionality, it has so far provided a very close and clean shave without razor burns, which is a huge plus in my book. It also is very fast to use-since I don't have to worry about nicking myself, I'm able to get through my shaving routine faster. Another one of my favorite features is the charger. I haven't had to charge my shaver since I got it (about 3-4 days now) and charging to full power took only a few hours. Finally, of course, the design is so trendy; sleek lines and the silver gray makes the shaver look and feel expensive. My only concern is that I haven't found replacement blades for them yet-although it will be a while before I'll need it, I like to be prepared. To summarize: Pros: 1. Quality 2. Wet and dry shaving 3. Rechargeable with long lasting charge 4. Pop out trimming blade for quick grooming 5. Fast shaving 6. Close and clean shave without nicks or razor burns 7. Style-the clean and simple lines of the design Cons: 1. How to find replacement blades eventually Overall, I'm very happy with the Remington Heritage Shaver. From the thoughtful packaging (which is, frankly, amazing with its black box expensive feel) to the shaver itself, Remington has outdone itself and has provided a shaver that truly caters to its customer's needs.raomeenas

I had my husband use this shaver and really likes it. It has a beautiful vintage design that feels elegant and heavy and well made. The shaver has a lithium rechargable battery that lasts a long time. My husband has been shaving everyday for a little more than a week without charging it. He used it wet with shaving cream and dry both worked well but he prefers the dry shave because it takes less time in the morning when he's getting ready for work and is less messy. He also really enjoys that it's easy to clean quickly by just washing the cutting assembly under the faucet or can really clean it well by removing the cutting assembly and washing it. He also really liked the pop up detail trimmer to cut his side burns. The shaver comes with the USB cord to charge and a suade bag to carry it in. My husband is very happy with the shaver as it delivers a close shave and a beautiful vintage style with new features! I enjoy him keeping his face shaved! The Remmington Heritage Shaver gets a thumbs up from us!Shellmed

I received this product to try for free in exchange for my honest opinion. I would absolutely recommend this product to anyone looking for an electric razor. Anyone who gets razor burn from traditional razors would benefit from this as well. You get a nice smooth finish with no irritation. I love that it can be used wet or dry! I get a better shave when using wet. But both options are great especially if your in a hurry and just need a quick shave. It's light, super portable and rechargeable. Grest if you need to take it with you. It also came with a small carrying bag. Overall great product!kstarrsmith

This shaver is small and compact. It does come with a manual but I just plugged it in. Not reading I figured out hours later this was not a wireless shaver. Mistake on my end. So I went to the bathroom and slide the switch upwards to turn it on. Immediately the rotary heads start to move. I put this on my face and went in a circular motion. I had to go over hairs several time for it to cut. I also noticed this gets a little warm while using it. To turn it off just slide the switch downwards. It does come with a little cleaning brush. To clean this is super easy just pop the head off. I personally didnt care for this shaver. I didnt like how it struggled to cut the hair on my face. Also didnt care for it getting warm that scares me.Pinkcuppiecakes04

This is a great razor and so easy to use. It is extremely comfortable and gives a really close shave with no pulling or tugging of hair. It is easy to hold and glides very smoothly over entire face. Great for taking with you if you are an on the go person. It is the perfect size to toss on your over night bag. Also perfect for young person who is just starting his shaving life. Nothing I can see negative about this razor at all. Simple to clean, blades float on your face very comfortably and gives a nice clean, smooth shave.Huskyman

This was my second experience using an electric shaver and I'm really impressed as my first time was an epic fail. First off, the R50 Rotary Shaver is easy to hold which is a plus to me. Being used to a standard blade razor I wasn't sure I'd get a close shave because I have thick facial hair. The R50 Series Rotary Shaver was easy to move over my face and the 3 rotating heads removed the hair faster and covered a larger area. The fact that it holds the beard hairs inside the shaver is a huge bonus. (No more cleaning the sink after I'm done!) It comes with a cord which I thought would be in the way but surprisingly, the cord was long enough so it wasn't a problem. I like that my skin didn't feel rough or irritated when I was done. Having a smooth, close shave like I'm used is great. No stubble or unshaven areas and it's quiet too. Definitely will be using this from now on and keeping the old blades in the closet!trlmrc

My husband has always bought electric razors that were on sale or clearances out. I never said anything because I didn’t use it. After days of research, I bought this for my son, who battles acne. I am now having to purchase a second one because my husband has taken it over to my son’s dismay. “Is he going to use my toothbrush next?” He asked. If I have two men arguing over a razor it must be one heck of a great razor.Mom of the year

I bought the cheapest Braun model last year and discovered it shaves closer than any Norelco I'd ever used. At the purchase price of about $120 I get an even better shaving system with all the high-end features at a mid-level price. It comes with the noseThunderbird2

first off I have only had one electric shaver in my life and did not like it at all, but that was over twenty years ago and it was a gift so I did not know the value of it. I have always used a double razor (two blades). I do not like the three and four blade razors, just a waste in my opinion. the Remington F3 Comfort Series Foil Shaver is easy to use. charge-shave-clean the instructions say to charge for 24 hours and like other chargeable batteries to deplete the first charge before charging again. over a week has gone by and the initial charge is still going strong. do not use while plugged in this is a cordless use shaver. also a green indicator light remains on while charging and stays on while plugged in. I think it should go out when it is fully charged and turn red when it needs to be charged. cleaning is easy just pop off the foil head and use the included brush to clean the shavers cutters. be careful when you remove the foil head that a cutter does not come off, but if it does it pops right back on. also to use a household oil to lubricate the cutters/blades. do not clean while plugged in and do not clean or disassemble while shaver is on. included in the packaging is the electric razor itself with a pop up trimmer, a head guard the charger and a cleaning brush. I thought the trimmer was a good idea and liked the thought of being able to have it in my hand while shaving. I was wrong while I tried to trim my mustache the foil head is in my line of view making the trimming process very difficult. I also do not feel the razor shaves close enough I felt like a had stubble right after I shaved. the neck area more speaking the lower neck area I could not get the hairs shaved at all. I also am experiencing irritation of my neck area. I would only recommend this product to someone who already likes and is used to foil shavers. the product is very well made sturdy and strong.denbroncos

I bought the Remington Foil Shaver 3000, primarily due to it's low price. Replacement blades on my electric shaver with rotating blades were 50% more expensive than this foil shaver. I'm always looking for a good price when shopping for a razor, but sometimes I'd wish I spent more money after using it for the first time. But this little razor does the trick. I wasn't used to a foil shaver. I figured you's shave like you would mow a lawn, straight back and forth, because the shaver is rectangular. As the instructions say, it's more effective if you use it in a circular motion. After having a razor with circular rotating blades, it was a little awkward moving foil blade in a circular motion, but you get used to it. It also says in the manual that you should only need to brush out the blades once a month. I had to clean them each time I used it. Mind you, I shave my entire head and face and I'm used to cleaning the blades frequently, so this is not a concern of mine. But, if you want it to work well, clean it. I would also suggest shaving every day with this. I let a 2 day growth so before using it. It took some time to shave it and only the next day was I able to get it smooth. It actually cuts closer than my more expensive razor, but you need to use it everyday to keep it close. And I'm not that hairy. I highly recommend the Remington Shaver 3000, if you understand that it is not the most powerful shaver. I don't feel like spending $200 on a razor that can easily handle a two day growth. I can shave everyday and have an extra money in my pocket.Joan

The razor performs well. The two stars is because I received a used razor completely clean and free of all hair except one. Marring on the shaver was also evident from its cradle. It of been sold as "good" condition and certainly not new. it's be willing to keep it and make a more favorable review if they met me in the middle on the price otherwise I'll use it til my rotary comes in and then return it and let the review stand. The box was sealed but the inside clear and white plastic packaging was suspiciously sliced opened. I actually purchased both types of electric razors not knowing which I would prefer.therese

I love this electric razor! The Wahl brand is an amazing brand and I love how its rechargeable and bumo free! Its very easy to use and there were no nicks on my skin compared to the cheaper brands! My fiance uses this to! I would definitely recommend!lindsey.o

This was the first shaver I bought my son as a Christmas gift be for he went of to college to keep his beard trimmed. He liked it so well that we have never used another brand. Very easy for my son to use and keep clean. It was a great first time buy. Great product.sheree.f

I was provided the opportunity to test the Philips SatinShave Prestige BRL170/50 premium electric shaving unit. This specific product came neatly packaged, and included the main razor/base, in addition to 4 accessories (a convenient travel cap, a bikini trimming tool/head, an efficiency cap, and a pearl trimmer with safety bar). The SatinShave also came with a small carrying case, and a charging cable. The system took approximately 60 minutes to charge fully, and also featured a 5-minute quick charge option for convenience (if you're in need of a single shave). I found that the unit held power throughout a lengthy shave (multiple areas) consistently. Lights indicating low battery life, full battery life and charging mode were displayed clearly on the main unit. I utilized Philips SatinShave on three areas of my body: my legs, my underarms and my bikini area. The unit itself was easy to hold, and its ergonomic handle shape felt natural, comfortable and light in the hand. This shaver boasts the capability to be utilized for shaving in both wet and dry conditions. I found the shaving conditions to make minimal difference in the units overall shaving performance. The Philips SatinShave removed hair most successfully from my bikini area. The efficiency cap helped to pull my skin taut, and the bikini trimmer accessory enabled me to get a close, smooth shave; even over my typically-sensitive skin. The performance of the Philips SatinShave unit was underwhelming in regard to underarm hair removal. I found it difficult to manipulate the unit under the arm successfully (due to shape of anatomy), in order to achieve/maintain close contact between the foil head and the hair/skin. The Philips SatinShave worked average for leg hair removal. Although the shaver glided over the leg smoothly, the unit did leave residual, coarse stubble, behind on the legs. I found the SatinShave to require more than one pass over areas of the leg (especially the knee) in order to achieve maximum smoothness. In general, I do not feel that the razor surpassed the smoothing effects of waxing or a traditional razor. I also did not feel the electric razor was a time-saver in comparison to a traditional shave. However, Philips SatinShave razor did work to remove hair well in the bikini area and on the legs with minimal irritation, despite having sensitive skin. The SatinShave is also a great on-the-go shaving tool for times when you may miss a spot shaving. It is a great shaver unit to travel with, and I was impressed with the shavers cordless capability, comfortable handle, trimming tools/accessories, actual power and battery-life. Overall, I am happy to have the Philips SatinShave Prestige BRL170/150 as a new tool in my hair removal arsenal.Hayleyc925

I have two complaints about this product – 1) the position of the on/off and speed buttons means I'm constantly turning the razor off when I'm trying to shave. They are placed where one would normally grip the razor. 2) the plastic head protector breaks easily. The grips that hold it in place aren't robust. Your customer service department were very quick in replacing the plastic cover under warranty. The actual razor itself delivers a good shave. This is my third razor purchased from Philips.PHFE

Seeing as I haven't used an electric razor in almost 30 years due to severe irritation after shaving, I was very pleasantly surprised, there was no irritation after shaving at all, with the added bonus of no chance of nicks and cuts. The cut is extremely good it doesn't pull the hairs out like the one I used so many years ago. Its such a good shave that I even use it to shave my head and not just my face instead using of my normal fixed blade razor. The best feature for me is the ability to be able to use it wet (my preferred method) in the shower. I have yet to have full shave with the razor dry, but the spots I missed in the first few shaves That I 'touched up' dry while getting used to the razor showed no irritation at all. I also find it a bit quicker than my normal razor as well, I would estimate at least 5 minutes quicker per full head and face shave. The result is comparable to my normal wet razor except in a couple of areas mainly the underside / point of my chin, its not visibly noticeable but I can feel it when running my hand over those areas, but this may be just experience related. I have also noticed that I use less shaving soap than I did before so it will save me some money in the long term. I would like to see what the shave is like in 6 months and whether I have to replace the cutting heads more often than the estimated 2 years as I am using it for a longer shave than it is really designed for each time I use it. The other thing I have noticed is it is so quiet when in use even when cutting several days’ growth. I was pleased at the fact it came well packed in attractive OEM packaging with its own travel case, the only thing I would suggest is perhaps a little additional space inside the travel case to accommodate the charging cable. Other than that it was easy to use, easy to clean with fast charging time and plenty of shaving time. The pictorial instructions are straight forward and easy to understand. It took a little while to get used to a different speed of shaving and the fact I had to use circular motions for the best shave, but now I wouldn't be without it. Even my girlfriend has noticed how good a shave it is, I didn't tell her I has switched from fixed blade wet shave to electric and she didn't notice the difference. I would recommend this razor to anyone considering 'trading up' to an electric razor. Had I had the chance to 'try before I buy' I would have purchased a similar model of razor years ago.Fraggle1971

I bought this model online during the Black Friday sales in November 2021. It was to replace my older model Series 7 which has been a fantastic shaver. Please be aware that the newer generation Series 7 like this one uses a separate precision trimmer head that is not built into the shaver. The precision trimmer is not included in this particular retail kit. And you cannot buy it separately in Australia unless you opt to purchase an entire beard trimming and manscaping kit. I don't have a beard. And I'm not into manscaping. So this shaver is incredibly useless in its current state. Normally I would not have made this error of judgement because I would have purchased in-store after inspecting it. But in-store purchase wasn't possible during COVID-19 lockdown. Shaver Shop referred me to Braun, who referred me to their spare parts distributor who was actually very helpful, but it seems I've bought a dud. I can't rate the product because I've frankly only used it once.Philby

I'll start by saying a lot of the reviews I've seen here have been discussing the fact that instructions aren't included and comments about the fact there is no heater/dryer in the base. First off there is literally only 1 button on the shaver and 1 button on the base (outside of the base ejection button for swapping the cleaning juice). If you struggle with this shaver then there are likely bigger problems in your life. This is very simple shaver that seriously needs no instructions. As for the base always launching the cleaning cycle when you only want to charge the shaver… the shaver battery lasts over an hour. My shaves take approximately 5 minutes. That means I could shave, without the need for charging, or cleaning the shaver 12 times. If after 12 shaves you still don't want to clean the shaver then I don't know what to tell you other than you might want to consider evaluating your hygiene habits. Also, the cleaning solution/juice if not used will evaporate, so you might as well use it. I run the cycle after about 3-4 shaves and the next day it's dry and ready to go. Now for the real review… I previously owned a 5 series Braun many years back and more recently owned a 9 series Braun about 3 years ago. I also have owned/tried Remington, Philips, Manscape, and Wahl shavers in the last 3 years so I have a lot of experience and by far this is better than every shaver I have tried, including the 9 series and I'll explain why. First off, my 9 series broke about 3 years ago only 4 months after purchasing it. The trimmer failed to run; the rest of the shaver still functioned. Anyway, I dealt with the customer service and found it lacking. I mailed the shaver off and after calls asking the status, they told me to be patient. 2 months later I moved, lost my USPS tracking receipt, and finally the Braun customer service acknowledged they didn't have the shaver and asking for shipping confirmation. I no longer had the receipt so I couldn't prove I mailed it. $300 down the drain. So, for the next few years I avoided Braun products. I tried many others and finally gave up and settled with disposable shavers. I seen this sale after all this time and decided to try this shaver/Braun again. The motor on this shaver is louder and more powerful than the 9 series I remember. The attachments are easy to swap and use. I found the lack of an in-built trimmer a little frustrating as it takes a bit of time to swap heads. A small sacrifice as the trimmer itself is leaps and bounds stronger than the 9 series in-built shaver and far easier and more precise to use. Now onto a more sensitive topic, trimming of more delicate parts of the body. My god, this shaver has blown me away and establishes its true value here. The included beard/stubble trimmer attachment, normally meant for beards, has been a godsend for that area and blows Manscape products out the water. Honestly Manscape products are far overrated, and I found before this shaver, a Wahl cordless shaver with the correct guide to be much better. The Stubble and Beard trimmer was better than every product I've ever tried, and I can easily say with confidence that there is absolutely nothing better. This was the first shave I ever had that didn't tear me to shreds and cause excessive bleeding there. The shave is also faster as the newfound confidence allows me to shave without worry of nicks. While I will say it did nick once, the nick was barely noticeable or felt and didn't bleed. A serious gamechanger. The included guides that were notches of 1, 2, or 3 were additions nice but a close trim is possible without worry with guide 1. Seriously, this attachment should be marketed completely differently as it's outstanding. I'm speaking again of the Beard and Stubble Trimmer with 2 notch 1 guides, not the Precision Trimmer attachment as I would be far too scared to use that attachment down there. Also, while the Beard and Stubble trimmer is attached you can still run the cleaning cycle when the shaver is inserted into the base! Honestly that was an amazing discovery as the ability of having that attachment cleaned by the base, especially after shaving in that area, was a huge win for hygiene. On to the real purpose of this shaver, your face… It does a great and thorough job but requires many passes. This shaver shines in giving this quality shave without pulling or nicks. It rivals disposable shaver shaves without the irritation. The requirement of some extra passes is worth it. The 9 series did provide a faster shave as it required fewer passes of the same area, but it did not provide a better shave. The difference being the 9 series is almost 2 – 2.5x as expensive and has a far worse trimmer, no beard and stubble trimmer which again shines where you would least expect it to and had suspect reliability. I have given this product 4 stars as the customer service, if you ever need it, is lacking and I’ll likely always have a chip on my shoulder towards Braun for simply makingAlan

I recently bought this machine and this is the first machine I've had with an associated charging/cleaning station. I have previously used Braun shavers for years, but these were not cleaned in this way. Then I wonder about this: The machine was delivered with 1 pc. Braun Clean & Renew, and according to the manual, the machine must be cleaned after each use. Then the contents of the cleaning station will last for approx. 30 days. If I don't clean every day the contents will evaporate within 8 weeks. This kind of fabric is very expensive to buy new, and I wonder if this type of cleaning is necessary. Online, it is also possible to buy a type of powder which, however, must be mixed with some type of ethanol. Then the price will be a fraction of the price for new containers. However, I have managed without such cleaning since I started with Braun shavers 50 years ago. However, according to the manual, I do not need to clean the machine in this way, but only rinse it clean under running water. What do I risk by maintaining the machine without using the cleaning station. Will it then have a limited lifespan? Will the machine have a longer life if I use a cleaning spray and shower my head after each cleaning under water?Ivar

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 took my dad to a really nice upscale barber, and everyone one of them had this kind of razor. They used it on my dad and he did not get bumps or ingrowns like he normally does when he shaves. My dad was talking it up so much that I decided to get it for him for Christmas. When looking to purchase I went to numerous websites and Walmart had beat everyone on price by at least $40 for the same exact razor.Crystal

I will always recommend these for shavers. They take skins fades to the next level. They’re super easy to use and clean. They hold an amazing charge. Definitely worth the price if weather you’re a barber or not.kimmy.t

I have used Braun shavers for many years. I have a thicker beard and they shave it well. However the low end Brauns have less powerful motors and don't do as well so I really like the Series 7. I like the cleaner but my 4 instead of 5 rating is because the cleaner really should have a blower for drying like they used to. Also the indicator light that tells you when it needs to be cleaned does not base it on the shavers condition. It is purely based on how many times you used it. If once, the shortest cleaning time is used. If twice, the middle time. If three or more uses since last cleaned it uses the longest time. I brush out the whiskers after each shave and only use the cleaner every 5-7 shaves which is more than adequate. I like the shave.Charlie

The Braun Series 7 isn't cheap and I've only had it for a couple of days. Having said that, this is so far the best electric shaver I've ever had. Much closer shave than my old Norelco. I also like the fact that it comes with a clean and charge base that has a tank of cleaner liquid that cleans and lubricates the shaver. So far, this thing delivers a shave that beats anything else I've ever had.charles

I have now owned 2 Braun Series 7 electric shavers, and can say without hesitation that I experience the closest and most comfortable shave thanks to these well-designed products. Starting with the 740s model and most recently the 790cc model, both shavers fit well in the hand, the shaving heads easily follow the curvature of my face, and both are easy to maintain. I typically shave every other day (I'm retired) and find this routine is perfect thanks to each shaver's capabilities. The only change I might recommend is a case which allows the owner to carry both the shaver and its power cord. That being said, the charge cycle easily provides me with week's worth of shaves; we're hardly ever gone for more than week, so charging is not a problem as long as we're fully charged upon departure. Thank you, Braun, for making such a wonderful product!findleyman

Gets as close as a razor and cream. Without irritating my scalp. I love this shaver. It’s faster then a razor and less mess. I did a lot of research before buying. I’m glad I decided on WahlDave S.

Opened box to clippers and small brush was missing. Decided to try the clippers on my hand before actually using on my head to make sure it was a low, clean cut, but when I started I noticed that no hair was being removed and so I look closer at clippers and the thin aluminum part was chipped. This chipped piece shouldn’t of stopped clippers from cutting. Clippers never removed a single strand of hair. Couldn’t return per store policy, only was able to return when I didn’t like the product quality.Pierre

After using the balding clipper to kickstart cutting a client's hair, I put the finishing touches to the job by using the Wahl shaver. I must confess that using the Wahl shaver to complete the job no doubt takes the end result to another level. My clients are happy for a great job and I am equally happy to see magnificent results of investing in a Wahl shaver. It undoubtedly takes the process of balding a head to another level. Thank you Wahl for a great product!Freakymic

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.

Great shaver. Best model/series of Braun shaver I've ever used, and I've used several models in the past 20 or so years. Very gentle on my sensitive skin. Does better on multi-day growth than the series 7 does, but the series 7 did a prerttry good job too. Series 9 is definitely an improvement. To bad it costs so much.heymikey75

I've been a fan of Braun for many years, but this is my first with the cleaning station. I'm really impressed. Not only is it a super close razor, but the cleaning station does a fabulous job. Another feature, the "tilting" head, makes it very comfortable to handle the contour of your jaw line. If there's a downside, its obviously the price. It was only on Ebay that I found one at a price I felt my wallet could handle. I'd highly recommend this for anyone looking to upgrade their appearance.leeb001

Hands down, this is the best electric shaver I have ever used. I'm 73 and have used electric most of my life. I had a rotary shaver for a long time and thought it was pretty good, but it took a long time to get a close shave. This Braun is way better and faster.douga541948

The side of the box begs you to keep trying for a month till you get the hang of it. You also have a 30 day money back guarantee, and at this point I'm sure that those two pieces of information are like that so that they don't have to give you money back for the piece of crap shaver. I NEVER got a good shave off of this. Not even close. I was patient at first, cleaned up with my old razor when finished, tried to get the hang of it. But then I realized that 30 days had passed, and I STILL had to clean up…basically everywhere I shaved because this shaver did nothing. I seriously don't understand how anyone could like this product. I tried it wet, I tried it dry, I cleaned it/took care of it. Kept it charged. Still a piece of junk.joey.h

I ordered this for my daughter. I have the exact same model, and wanted to get one for her to use. She says it works really well, but the actual electric razor itself does not say "Remington" like mine does. It says "LumaRX". It looks very similar to mine, which I have had for years, but I was a bit disappointed that I thought I was getting another Remington razor when I did not.Shannon

I have tried many ladies shavers over the years and have used a man's shaver and found it much better than the ones available for women. This, however, is great. Really good results very quickly and long battery life. I have binned many previous purchases but I recommend this one 100%Pauline
