16 best electric shavers for men

Electric shavers are a separate class of devices for face and bristle skin care, which is a winning alternative to classic manual razors. Unlike the latter, electric razors allow you to handle relatively large areas of the face, spending a minimal amount of effort and energy on it. As an additional advantage of such models, in addition to ease of use, you can highlight the efficiency and safety, since all the blades and knives are located under distance protection devices (mesh or segment disks).

On the basis of performance, all electric shavers can be divided into two large groups:

  1. rotary - based on the principles of rotational movement of work items - knives. Ideal for thick and dense stubble, but can cause irritation if the user is sensitive to the skin;
  2. net - in the role of work items here are the blades that perform reciprocating motion. As an enclosing material, meshes are used in them, through which bristle hairs enter the cutting zone. Such electric razors will be an excellent choice for people with sensitive skin.

Currently there are only four companies in the world that can rightfully be called the leaders of the electric razor segment. All the rest are small and, often local, production, working exclusively on the market of their country. Nevertheless, hundreds of users, novices and even experienced consumers, face the problem of choosing these products every day. As a small help, the project team of expert.bigbadmole.com/en/en/, together with a group of experts, has compiled a list of the best electric razors available for purchase on the market of our country. As evaluation criteria, user reviews were taken, as well as objective factors comparing technical characteristics.

Best Cheap Men's Electric Shavers

Panasonic ES-6003

Rating: 4.7

Panasonic ES-6003

Popular electric grid shaver from Panasonic, not distinguished by design delights, but very reliable and effective in working with sensitive skin. Despite the low cost, its characteristics can be called optimal: supporting dry and wet shaving, coupled with 10 thousand engine revolutions per minute and three elements of the shaving part create all the conditions for the most smooth and gentle skin care (for the bristles).

As a plus Panasonic ES-6003, you can highlight the ergonomics, which include a non-slip pad on the handle, the presence of a brush for cleaning knives, an additional trimmer function and the presence of a cover for transportation included. The main disadvantage of the electric shaver, users consider the outdated power model. The electric shaver works autonomously, but the capacity of a nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) battery is barely enough for 21 minutes of work, despite the fact that it takes 8 hours to fully charge it. However, for its price, the ES-6003 is still great, and rightfully occupies the first line in the ranking of the best.

Virtues

  • very convenient form of the handle + existence of an antiskid slip;
  • optional trimmer function;
  • three elements in the razor block;
  • Excellent value for money and quality;
  • availability of charge and discharge indicators.

disadvantages

  • Not the most capacious battery NiMH - full charge is designed for 21 minutes of shaving.

Braun 300s Series 3 (2016)

Rating: 4.6

Braun 300s Series 3 (2016)

The second line of the rating goes to the men's electric shaver of 2016, which has not lost its relevance even three years later. The Braun 300s Series 3 is a niche net razor in the budget price segment, with a number of advantages and yet more modest capabilities with respect to the Panasonic ES-6003. At the same speed of rotation of the motor (10 thousand revolutions per minute) for the cleanliness of shaving meets the movable unit with two floating heads, which adds convenience to the process and significantly improves ergonomic properties. However, due to untight design of the head, the model supports only a dry shave.

In general, in terms of power supply, the Braun 300s Series 3 is no different from the main competitor. Autonomous operation of the electric shaver is provided by a nickel-metal hydride battery designed for 8 hours of recharging and 21 minutes of continuous operation. In addition, the kit has a brush to clean the blades, but instead of a carrying case, the manufacturers provided only a protective cover. And if there are small nuances in these components, then the razor is ideally made in the visual part - both black and red color schemes are not without aesthetics inherent in the entire Braun product range.

Virtues

  • very beautiful appearance;
  • the presence of two floating heads and a movable razor unit;
  • charging indication;
  • low price with high build quality.

disadvantages

  • the lack of a carrying case;
  • battery charge (NiMH) lasts for 21 minutes of work.

Philips S1100 Series 1000

Rating: 4.5

Philips S1100 Series 1000

Not lost among the variety of competitors and the Philips S1100 Series 1000 with a rotary dry shaving system, the main advantage of which is a great design, coupled with a very quiet and healthy work. The latter, according to the beliefs of consumers, the merit of the exclusively original assembly, not given to China. Quite a controversial decision, but the fact of high quality is obvious.

The process of shaving in this model are responsible for three rotor heads attached to the movable razor unit independently of each other. They clearly follow the contours of the face, allowing you to achieve the most effective shaving, even thick bristles. As a set of delivery to the Philips S1100 Series 1000 manufacturers have provided a useful brush for cleaning, as well as a protective cap - a losing alternative to a full cover. Of the remaining functions of the razor, it is possible to distinguish only the possibility of switching the supply voltage in the range from 100 to 240 volts, but this is inherent in all models within the framework of this rating. But the main disadvantage of the S1100 with respect to its upstream competitors is the ability to work only from the network - it is impossible to use the model autonomously in terms of travel.

Virtues

  • movable shaving unit with three floating rotor heads;
  • high build quality;
  • comfortable grip;
  • attractive case design.

disadvantages

  • electric shaver only works on the network.

Berdsk 9

Rating: 4.4

Berdsk 9

Simple and extremely popular in Russia, the male model of an electric razor, whose constant advantages are very low price and high quality shaving. Manufacturers purposefully made the "Berdsk 9" not only a cheap niche product, but also with an orientation to the key idea - the possibility of transportation when traveling. Yes, it does not work autonomously, but sockets in our time can be found wherever the power line passes.

The most important qualities of this electric razor are expressed in the parameters of compactness and adaptability to transportation.Included with it is a special case, and the three floating rotary heads have a self-sharpening function for the knives and a folding shaver unit (for cleaning). In the case of Berdsk 9, the maximum rotational speed of the motor is 3,700 revolutions per minute - quite modest relative to the leading three, but for a good shave even thick bristles will do. The final touch in the merits of the model is the service life, without exaggeration, indicated by the manufacturers themselves. According to their data, the working life of the electric razor will be enough for 1825 days, which is a very good indicator due to its low cost.

Virtues

  • compact electric shaver with a bias in transportability;
  • has the function of self-sharpening knives and the possibility of tilting the shaving unit;
  • travel case included;
  • service life is more than 5 years;
  • very low price on the popular model.

disadvantages

  • able to work only from the network - no offline mode.

MOSER 3615-0050

Rating: 4.3

MOSER 3615-0050

Cheap entry-level electric shaver, comparable in function to recognized leaders in this market segment. In contrast to the domestic "Berdsk 9" MOSER 3615-0050 was developed specifically for travel and transportation, which translates into the possibility of autonomous work. And the capacity (seemingly) of a compact battery in the case of it lasts for as long as 45 minutes of work, and for this indicator no budget Braun and Panasonic can compare with it. In addition, the special travel case, bundled with a standard charge, also speaks of fitness for transportation.

From the design flaws of the model, obtained as a result of comparison with competitors, it is possible to select only one shaving element of which the shaving head consists. However, to some extent, this shortcoming is compensated by an important ergonomic advantage - MOSER 3615-0050 is extremely easy to clean from hairs that have accumulated after shaving. Yes, one shouldn't expect something super-ordinary from this electric razor - it is quite difficult to cope with thick and dense bristles, and also (due to the static position of the unit and the blade) it does not provide the best quality shaving. But she works out her money with the existing functionality to the full.

Virtues

  • optimal combination of price and quality;
  • suitable for travel and travel - battery life is 45 minutes;
  • the presence of a cover for transportation included;
  • very easy to peel off.

disadvantages

  • not the best shave quality;
  • just one blade in the razor block.

Top Rotary Men's Electric Shavers

Philips S9711 Series 9000

Rating: 4.9

Philips S9711 Series 9000

Rotary electric shaver for men of the new generation Philips, combining all the best practices of the old versions and fundamentally new technical capabilities. While the “old” samples use only the trimmer nozzle, the atypical rotor system of the Philips S9711 Series 9000 has a hair clipper included. Entertaining sight, given that the movable unit has three floating heads, moving along the contour independently of each other.

The lithium-ion battery with a capacity sufficient for the model to work effectively for 50 minutes was used as a power cell here. Charging time was reduced to 1 hour, which is a very good result from Dutch engineers. All data on the degree of charging, as well as all indicators Philips S9711 Series 9000 collected on the information display with backlight integrated into the front of the case. Included with the electric razor is a special travel case of a hard design (to prevent the product from getting mechanical damage), as well as a charging and cleaning device. The purchase price may be a small “stressful” factor for consumers, however, the model fully corresponds to it and its functionality and quality.

Virtues

  • The optimum ratio of price and quality;
  • full indication of the status of the razor (charging / discharging, level of current charge, changing knives, etc.);
  • battery capacity is enough for 50 minutes of work;
  • in the presence of the trimmer function and a special nozzle for hair cutting.

disadvantages

  • in addition to all the possibilities, self-sharpening of knives could be envisaged.

Philips S7370 Series 7000

Rating: 4.8

Philips S7370 Series 7000

Moving upward. A partial reincarnation of the fifth series of shavers from Philips were the Series 7000 models - in our opinion, slightly lost in terms of appearance, but having gained perfection in the technical part. S7370 is a bright representative of this line, several times recognized as the leader of consumer opinion due to the battery life and the quality of shaving. For the latter, there are three floating razor heads located on the movable block, which exactly follow the contours and ensure clean shaving of even dense bristles.

Point changes of this model also affected the principles of battery life. In particular, the capacity of the standard battery was increased, giving an extra 5 minutes to functioning relative to the Series 5000. But the kit has undergone a slight reduction: the beard trimmer and beard trimmer (which will later appear in Series 9000) have been removed. The function of fast charging (5 minutes) remained unchanged, as well as the presence of a hard road cover - a business card of Philips kits.

Virtues

  • increased battery charge (up to 50 minutes of battery life and 1 hour before fully charged);
  • unchanged shaving unit system, giving excellent results in terms of shaving cleanliness;
  • the presence of a cover for carrying;
  • pleasant, albeit somewhat atypical visual performance.

disadvantages

  • a significant reduction in the bundle and, therefore, the shaver’s capabilities relative to the Series 5000.

Philips S5330 Series 5000

Rating: 4.7

Philips S5330 Series 5000

The first of the three representatives of Philips (ascending) in this category of rating is the S5330 Series 5000 - a rotary shaver with three floating heads, loved by the public for the excellent quality of shaving and the originality of forms. Actually, since then, this node has undergone perhaps that the point improvements - the rest and the subsequent seventh, and even the ninth series, adopted it without changes. The battery of the model was enough for 45 minutes of battery life when charging for 1 hour, which gave it an indisputable competitive advantage in a dispute with net Braun and Panasonic.

By looking at the equipment, it becomes clear that manufacturers cherished the dream of producing a real “wide profile” device. So, together with the case, the consumer received a beard styler attachment with a five-step length regulator, as well as a haircut attachment, which seemed to be the prerogative of only specialized machines. However, the Philips S5330 Series 5000 came to the share and one major drawback - technical imperfection and multitasking hardly ensured its service life of 3 years, which greatly annoyed users (due to the rather high cost) and scared away a number of potential buyers.

Virtues

  • very high-quality shaving (3 floating heads on the movable block);
  • up to 45 minutes of battery life;
  • visually pleasing appearance;
  • plenty of tips included;
  • special travel case for transportation;
  • fast charge function (5 minutes).

disadvantages

  • warranty period is 730 days (with a real 3 years).

Remington XR1350

Rating: 4.6

Remington XR1350

The fourth nominee for the rating of the best rotary electric razors is the technically brilliant electric shaver Remington XR1350, which was a serious competitor for Philips in terms of quality of work and accessibility. Behind the neatly shaped body of the device lies a capacious lithium-ion battery, which has enough charge for an entire hour of uninterrupted and effective shaving. True, the duration of a full charge was 110 minutes, but a similar result can still be considered excellent.

For the cleanliness of shaving in the Remington XR1350 meets the movable shaving unit with three heads, however, without the possibility of self-sharpening (however, as in all the contenders from the Dutch).On the front panel of the case, only the charge and remaining charge indicators, organically integrated into the overall design, were displayed here. Together with the device in the delivery set, the manufacturers presented a special brush for cleaning, a plastic shaving cover and carrying case, as well as a compact stand for charging. Let all this look quite modest, and the trimmer stands out of the functions, but in terms of cost, this is the best option of the actual ones.

Virtues

  • low price;
  • high quality build and work;
  • equipment, rich in useful things;
  • 60 minutes of battery life with the possibility of fast 5-minute charge.

disadvantages

  • modest set of functionality.

Panasonic ES-LV9Q

Rating: 4.9

Panasonic ES-LV9Q

The Panasonic ES-LV9Q electric shaver was developed as a multifunctional analogue of the Series 9 models from Braun, and quite unexpectedly managed to tip the scales of consumer opinion to its side. Just as in the main competitor, the main features of this model are 5 razor heads in one block, ensuring high quality hair cutting and the smoothest possible shaving. Both items are derivatives of the speed of the built-in motor, which provides up to 14 thousand revolutions per minute.

A landmark feature of the Panasonic ES-LV9 is the fact that this shaver uses a 7-element system containing embedded silicone rollers. This has a positive effect on the performance and the timing of the development of the work resource pledged to the node. For information, here is a small display, built-in under the most razor site, which displays indicators of charging / discharging, cleaning, as well as the residual energy. In general, a very close analogue of Braun has a slightly higher purchase price, while offering a longer service life. Exchange is equivalent, so the leader of the Panasonic rating still becomes, albeit with a slight margin.

Virtues

  • up to 45 minutes of work on the battery;
  • in the presence of fast 5-minute recharge;
  • qualitatively more advanced assembly technology of components (additional elements that reduce the load on important details of the design);
  • five shaving elements on the block.

disadvantages

  • high price, but at the same time longer service life.

Braun 9292cc Series 9

Rating: 4.8

Braun 9292cc Series 9

Nominally, the second line of the rating goes to the ninth series electric razor from Braun, which has become a kind of “vessel” for combining and integrating all the latest developments of the company with the most successful principles of the previous model series. The movable shaving unit here contains as many as five shaver elements, and also supports adjustment in the force of motion. For autonomous operation of the 9292cc lithium-ion battery is responsible, designed to preserve the charge for 50 minutes of effective shaving. In addition, in the case of full discharge and the need to refresh the appearance, there is a function of fast charging, forcing the battery in a forced mode to reserve a charge for one session.

According to consumers, the presence of a digital display in the Braun 9292cc Series 9 is a great advantage, but its location (on the front panel right in the grip area) leaves much to be desired. Yes, and it shows only the processes of flow charge and discharge, without the display function of cleaning. For the last action, by the way, a special brush is provided with a razor, plus a travel case for carrying. Such magnificence is quite expensive, but it still finds compromises with users on this part.

Virtues

  • high quality shaving and general technical assembly;
  • nice appearance;
  • up to 50 minutes of battery life;
  • the ratio of price and lifetime.

disadvantages

  • no inclusion lock at the time of carrying in the case;
  • inconvenient display layout.

Braun 7899cc Series 7

Rating: 4.7

Braun 7899cc Series 7

This may seem strange, but Series 7, according to users, was the most successful line of electric razors from the German company Braun.Headed (and still heads) this model range is excellent both in terms of design conception and technical conditions, model 7899cc. In fact, nothing revolutionary is observed in it: a rigidly fixed shaving unit has two floating heads that take all the cares of high-quality hair removal from the face to themselves. For its power meets the lithium-ion battery, designed for 45 minutes of work with a full hour charge.

At that time, Braun engineers were running around the technology of integrating a special digital display into the system, which displayed all the required indicators. This was installed in 7890ss, but why - no one explained. By the way, it only shows the recharging process, speaking on the body as a large warning light. The solution is at least strange from the point of view of the technical expediency, which gives an external appearance to the piggy bank. The most interesting thing is that there are extremely many such contradictions in this electric razor: take at least the same exorbitant cost. But despite this, she still gained the popularity of users.

Virtues

  • clean shaving, provided by two floating heads;
  • high build quality;
  • great visual performance;
  • high degree of reliability and durability (with proper care).

disadvantages

  • a large number of controversial technical solutions;
  • high price.

Panasonic ES-LV6Q

Rating: 4.6

Panasonic ES-LV6Q

A step away from the nominations, the youngest model of the Panasonic electric shaver line, which has recently had no competition, stopped. ES-LV6Q absorbed the best of what is in the arsenal of the Korean company, and under the pretext of a slightly smaller working resource, it dropped about 20% of the price from the older (enchanting ES-LV9Q) model.

As elements of the razor node, there are as many as five floating heads, the working frequency of which is enough for the care of thick bristles and for the delicate treatment of sensitive skin. Lithium-ion battery is designed for 45 minutes of continuous action, and fully restores the charge in just 1 hour. In the configuration, in addition to the standard cover and brush, the original image provides for the presence of oil for lubrication as an element for self-maintenance. Otherwise, nothing special can be distinguished, except that the system contains as many as 7 built-in rollers made of silicone, which serve as dampers and increase the service life of the mechanism. In the end, the Panasonic ES-LV6Q is a great alternative to the main competitors, including a number of unique features.

Virtues

  • great black design;
  • Excellent value for money and quality;
  • advanced shaving system;
  • original equipment.

disadvantages

  • not found.

Braun 5147s Series 5

Rating: 4.5

Braun 5147s Series 5

He continues the list of grid shavers of the fifth-priced Braun 5147s series of the fifth series, which incorporates a movable adjustable unit with two floating heads, as well as an excellent design of the body of the working unit and the handle. Everything is done in the corporate style of the German company - the technological linings do not spoil at all, but complement the appearance of the product, to which most buyers are led. The parade of merits continues the possibility of a 50-minute battery life with a full charge in just the next 60 minutes.

Thanks to the hermetic design of the case, the Braun 5147s is able to maintain both dry and wet shaving without fear of lightning-fast device failure. As a useful addition to it, only a trimmer can be noted, and the presence of charging indicators and its level. In general, this model is a niche, budget performance of razors from Braun, which does not have any unique features or differences, but gives people a simple corporate quality. This, though not the most important attribute of the product, but very significant in the context of the ratio with the price. And in this plane alternatives 5147s is simply not enough.

Virtues

  • high-quality razor middle class performance;
  • great design;
  • 50 minutes of battery life;
  • very good quality shaving - perfect for sensitive skin.

disadvantages

  • for its price level - not detected.

Wahl 8164-116

Rating: 4.4

Wahl 8164-116

One of the two main representatives of Germany in the segment, the main feature of which is the abnormally long battery life. Wahl 8164-116 - an obvious interpretation of the well-forgotten old, machine, made in the best traditions of the classic manufacture of electric razors. In the configuration there is only a brush for cleaning the working area, which is made up of two rigidly fixed shaving heads. Of course, there is no need to talk about any high quality shaving in this case - it all depends only on the experience and skill of the user.

As for the key characteristics of the electric shaver Wahl 8164-116, it can work autonomously for 80 minutes. In addition, without the need for travel or travel, this device can be powered from the network, since the structure features and the wired connection scheme with the adapter allows it. In general, if we consider this model as mobile, then the package obviously lacks a road cover. Let this matter be easily solved, but the producers should pay attention to the possibilities of making consumers a little happier.

Virtues

  • robust design with a minimum number of moving parts;
  • up to 80 minutes of battery life - the best result in the entire rating;
  • low price.

disadvantages

  • the almost complete absence of any configuration - with the razor comes only an adapter and a brush to clean the blades.

Remington XF8705

Rating: 4.3

Remington XF8705

High-quality razor medium price segment, giving users good functionality and reliability at a relatively low price. The Remington XF8705 is positioned as a mobile electric shaver model that you can take with you on a trip or a small trip. Its battery lasts for 60 minutes of battery life, which is a good result even by the standards of recognized category leaders. However, the period of charge accumulation is 1 hour and 50 minutes, and in this respect it is significantly (almost 2 times) losing to everyone.

It provides in it a model for transportation and a road blocking function, which (unlike the Braun electric shavers, which do not have this function), is provided for saving the charge if you accidentally press the power button. By the way, the basis of the working unit here is a movable shaving unit with two floating heads that clearly follow the contours of the face. As for the most interesting, the Remington XF8705 features a fully-featured backlit information display. This is a big plus, given that competitors' displays are the prerogative of premium designs. In general, nothing bad can be said about this model: it looks great, has good functionality and content, and it works surprisingly reliably and efficiently, which gives a real focus on consumer love.

Virtues

  • good shaving quality (both the unit and the two heads are movable);
  • low price coupled with a high degree of reliability;
  • up to 60 minutes of work offline;
  • good ergonomic performance;
  • the presence of a display with indicators;
  • function of blocking of inclusion on the road and a complete set.

disadvantages

  • not found.
