Philips makes the most reliable rotary shaver at this price and the Series 5000 is their most refined mid-market offering. Three independently flexing heads that follow facial contours properly rather than catching on the jaw line, wet and dry capability so you can shave in the shower with gel for less irritation, and 60 minutes of runtime from a one-hour charge. Handles three-day stubble that would defeat cheaper shavers without slowing down. The rational entry into electric shaving.
Braun's Series 7 is the professional's electric shaver — used by men who shave daily and need consistent performance without thought. AutoSense technology reads your beard density and adjusts motor power accordingly, delivering the same closeness regardless of whether you're shaving a light day's growth or a week's stubble. The SmartCare station cleans, lubricates, and charges automatically so the shaver is always ready. Exceptional closeness that approaches a manual blade on the right skin.
The most advanced consumer shaver made, with no meaningful competition at this specification level. Five separate sonic vibration modes, ten cutting elements across the head including a ProLift trimmer for flat-lying hairs, and cleaning performance that approaches a blade on most skin types. The SmartCare Pro station handles everything automatically between uses. Braun's Series 9 Pro+ is the shaver you buy when you've accepted that shaving quality is worth investing in properly.
