We asked testers to evaluate each razor for closeness of shave, speed, and irritation. First, testers used the razors at whatever their standard “I need a shave” interval was. We then asked for a double-growth test—skipping a shave—and, as a go-for-broke scenario, a triple-growth test. The 7085cc and the 7020s provide the same high-quality shave as our pick, but they each come with different sets of accoutrements. We think the new 7071cc has the features that most people want or need, but prices tend to fluctuate, and if you find one of the others for significantly less you won’t be missing a lot by picking that model up.
While it costs close to £200, Panasonic’s ES-LV9Q is one ludicrously high-tech shaver. Its five-blade cutting system cuts at an incredible 70,000 actions per minute to ensure no facial follicle goes unsliced. Meanwhile, its pivoting head moves to trail the different surfaces of your face and a sensor checks your beard density to give the heads more power where necessary.
The UK’s market-leading electric shaver brands are Braun and Philips. Remington, Panasonic and Wahl are also very popular manufacturers. This 6.6 inches shaver includes a power button and a LED display to indicate battery levels.This razor is lightweight weighing about 1.25 pounds for easy storage and portability. The build quality was good however the three blade system seems a little rough. Having always used a normal razor blade the transiton to an electric razor was a difficult and did cause some skin iritation.
Put this all together and Panasonic’s shaver delivers an incredibly close and frankly flawless shave. If your electric razor doesn’t seem to be functioning properly or getting as close of a shave as you’re used to, considering recharging it, cleaning it and oiling it. This electric razor offers a good value for the money while still providing a close shave. This no-frills model is easy to use, in addition to being easy on the wallet. An electric razor needs break-in time—not for the razor, but for your face. If you’re switching from a manual to an electric, or even from one electric style to another, generally you’ll need to give your skin two weeks to adjust to the new tool.
All Philips Norelco shavers come with a two-year warranty. The pop-up trimmer is similar to Braun’s design, and it works just as well for mild sideburn grooming. Remington’s center bar design isn’t as sophisticated as Braun’s, but our testers found the shaver to work almost as well. James has been using the Series 7 to shave a portion of his face since first testing for this guide in 2020. It’s held up remarkably well and, aside from a dip after a little more than a year of use which was remedied by replacing the foil, the shave quality has remained consistent.
Braun’s Series 9 clean-and-charge base uses the same cartridges as the Series 7 base and is functionally identical. Replacement cartridges last about three months and cost about $25 for a four-pack. Replacement foils are considerably more expensive for the Series 9; they currently run about $50, compared with about $30 to $40 for the Series 7. That extra power and performance come at a dollar and design cost. Series 9 razors are notably bulkier than Series 7 razors, and some testers found the Series 9 razors tough to maneuver in tight spots . You’ll need to replace the foil on your shaver more or less annually, depending on use.
We’re still not big fans of the stubble attachment, though; it’s both uncomfortable and ineffective, while the detail trimmer isn’t brilliant. Otherwise, just like the F6 Style Series Aqua, this is a great shaver at a very affordable Remington Shaver price. Water resistanceMany head shavers are water-resistant, which is useful if you’re hoping to shave in the shower or when you need to rinse off any leftover hair or shaving cream from the blades, according to Butler.

If the Remington MB4040 is fully charged and it continually sounds like it is low on battery the motor may be faulty. Remove and replace the motor by using the guide with the attached link. If the trimmer intermittently stops working with the power switch still in the ‘on’ position it is possible the device has overheated and the thermal switch has activated and shut off the device to protect it from any damage. If the trimmer feels very warm to the touch, give it 10 minutes or more to cool down before continuing use. If it does not feel warm and the problem persists the thermal switch may be defective.
