This top-of-the-line Panasonic shaver includes a total of five blades—a quartet of foils and a single oscillating lift-and-cut center trimmer. The Arc5 is quieter than the Series 7, but the noise it does make is much higher pitched, which some may find annoying. If you find that Braun models aren’t working for you, the Arc5 might be a better option for your skin or hair type.
It’s probably a bit unusual to lead with design in a razor review, but the Heritage is a bit of a special case.

Philips Series 9000 shaver is the best rotary shaver we’ve ever tested, but it’s also the most expensive, with a price tag that will frighten off the majority of buyers. The Series 7000 is more approachable, giving you most of the same core technology for half the price. The latest version is a little chunkier than the outgoing model, with redesigned heads that aim to channel facial hair into the ideal cutting position. They twist and pivot to follow the contours of your face, so that the self-sharpening SteelPrecision blades don’t miss a whisker, while a protective coating reduces friction and makes for a more comfortable close shave. Put it all together, and you get a premium shave whether you shave dry, with foam or gel or in the shower. We also carry specialty travel shavers featuring a compact, ergonomic design that is perfect to use at home, the gym, or on the go.
The LS9A ups that to 84,000, with two new thick stubble blades designed to tackle long and tricky growth. This tiny electric shaver might not look like much, but it’s an absolute steal at the price. About the size of a mobile phone, the Remington Shaver Philips Travel Shaver packs in a pair of rotary heads equipped with self-sharpening blades that last for up to two years. Plus, as it takes easily-available AA batteries, there’s no need to carry a charger with you when you go abroad.
It left way too many rash scratches and cuts which I’ve never had before on any other shaver and left my skin feeling raw and attacked. I have an old Braun 5070 About 15yrs old which sounds like a buzz saw when switched on that leaves the skin silky smooth from a dry shave. I could tell just turning them on together just how weak this Remington was. But even so it didn’t have a speed setting so I assume that’s the only speed it can go and if it’s that slow I can’t imagine many men’s necks being too happy with the Remington R4.
Its features are minimal, but it includes essentials like a battery meter and a trimmer for beard touch-ups. The shaver did a decent job providing a close shave on most areas of my face, but I had trouble with the neck. I never managed to get the stubble styler to work very well.
Elsewhere, the new handle is lighter and easier to grip, with the button falling right under the thumb. You can still use it wet or dry, and Braun bundles in its SmartCare Centre, which cleans, lubricates and charges when you insert the shaver head downwards and push the connector at the top. You can have 50 minutes of shaving from a one hour charge or sneak an emergency shave in from the 5 minute quick charge. Some might find the illuminated indicators on the SmartCare Centre a little blinding, but that’s really the only criticism we have.
Its two independent flexing foils and intercept trimmer give you a close shave for the money, with the head pivoting to follow the contours of your face and tackle difficult spots around the chin. Build quality is solid, bar a slightly flimsy pop-up trimmer, and the non-slip grip is great if you’re using it wet. Though it doesn’t boast an ergonomic design, the Kibiy has a self-locking function that kickstarts when the blades become clogged, according to the brand.
The blades on a head shaver also have a shock absorber effect that allows them to push in and adapt to your head shape, Butler explained. The Remington F2 Foil Shaver is built to provide a close, comfortable shave. It combines two flexible foils with stainless steel blades for a smooth shave on the face, neck and jawline.
