Best electric shavers 2021: Top trimmers and razors for facial hair
(Pocket-lint) - Shaving is a hassle, somewhat unavoidably. It takes time, you have to do it on a regular basis, and if you're still in the world of old-school razors and brushes, you might find that it's very expensive to buy new razor heads all the time, really fast.
The good news is that by now we're decades into the revolution of electric shavers, and some of the shavers you can purchase at a reasonably low cost are seriously impressive kit bits.
There's definitely a choice that's right for you, if you're looking for the closest shave, intense comfort, long battery life or even multi-use trimmers and shavers.
We have rounded up for you some of the best electric shavers on the market, below, across a number of different price ranges, all to give you a great option to choose from.
Philips Series 9000 shaver
Although this list will, like we said, highlight many very great value shavers, we're starting with what could be the best shaver around, the Philips Series 9000, at the top end of the market.
This is a fantastic piece of kit, a rotary shaver by design, although it also has an incredibly useful trimming attachment. It's precise and smooth, and in use it seems like having a nick or cutting from it would be almost impossible. Like most of the shavers on this list, for added peace of mind, it is waterproof, too. It's also one of the most costly choices, of course.
Remington R4 shaver
One of the entry-level Remington shavers, the R4, is right at the other end of the price scale. It's not exactly the sleekest looking shaver out there, however it gets the job done, the main point is. It's cheap and cheerful, and you're not going to get smooth-skinned as easily as some of the more expensive items on this list, but you can do far, far worse if you want a fast fix.
Braun Series 3 ProSkin shaver
The Braun Series 3 ProSkin, another entry that will not break the bank by any way, marks a minor improvement to the Remington R4, with a much more solid build quality. It has waterproofing as well, and a nice, grippy build.
If we're talking about the consistency of the finish we get at the end, we probably prefer triple-headed shavers, but Series 3 does a trustworthy job, and is a reliable choice for a fast shave.
Philips OneBlade
On the shaver market, Philips has a bit of a lock - it has a selection of great choices in the more conventional mould. The OneBlade is a little bit of a departure, however. It's a sleeker, more unconventional little number, and with its simplicity, not everyone gets along. However, we're fans of it, and it's a bonus to be useful for a lot of different styles of shaving and trimming without having to change out chunky heads or bits.
Philips Series 5000
If your fancy was taken up by the Philips Series 9000, our top pick further up this list, but you're not sure about the price, you might easily think of the Series 5000 as a slightly lighter version of the same shaver.
They have very similar designs, and the 5000 Series still manages a very comfortable and effective shave, but some of the bells and whistles and strength that the 9000 Series boasts are simply lacking.
Balls
Okay, we know - this feature's title makes it clear that here we're talking about facial hair, not body hair. Let's all be honest adults here, though: beard trimmers aren't necessarily used exclusively for beards. So, we've done the moral thing with that in mind and found a trimmer that will do some excellent work in other climates, but it won't necessarily be ideal for your facial hair.
Balls has a name that does not mask its intent exactly, but it is the anti-nick style it has come up with that has most inspired us. Believe the hype - this is a trimmer you can use without fear in delicate areas. If you know yourself well enough to think about putting a posh Philips trimmer down south, do yourself a favour with Balls' money back guarantee as a more safety net and pick up a more sensible alternative.
