Electric Shaver Reviews and Buying Guide:

Most men we talked to really hate shaving everyday before they go to work. It's a daily hassle that never goes away and often leaves your skin irritated and scratchy. Even with the latest technology, getting a close shave can be hard to come by with electric shavers. The best men's electric shaver on the market is the Braun Activator 8585 ($140) with it's new foil design that is perfect for cutting hairs growing in various directions. The foils are very effective at trimming which keeps shaving time to a minimum and will eventually be less irritating on the skin. The Braun Activator shaver comes with a charging unit that cleans the head with an anti-bacterial solution. You get a two-year warranty and a 30-day money back guarantee. You can find great deals online at Shavers.com. They carry Braun, Norelco, Panasonic, Remington, Wahl, and Shavertronics.



The Panasonic Pro Curve Pivot Action ES8095NC ($140) is the best wet/dry foil shaver on the market. A wet/dry foil shaver can be used in the shower or with shaving cream. There is no cleaning unit provided, but you can do it quite easily manually. A 5-minute quick charge function can be a lifesaver. Panasonic only offers a 1 year warranty and no money back period on the Pro Curve. If you want just a basic electric shaver, then reviewers suggest going with the Norelco Reflex Plus 6843XL for around $50. There is no self-cleaning base or quick charge feature, and it takes almost 8 hours to charge. The Norelco Reflex Plus can be used either corded or cordless, but is not water resistant so don't rinse it out after shaving under the tap. Other top sellers include the Braun cruZer3 Shaver model 2865 ($55), Norelco Cool Skin Rechargeable Shaver model 7775X ($129), Remington Titanium Smart System Rechargeable Shaver model MS-5700 ($129), Remington Microscreen 300 Titanium Shaver Model MS2-290 ($50), and the Norelco Razor 9170XL Smart Touch Cord/Cordless Shaver With Automatic Cleaning System for $199.95

Electric Shavers vs Traditional Shaving Cream:

Most men will tell you that using shaving cream to shave their face results in a cleaner shave, but it is more time consuming and not as convenient in todays world. With an electric shaver you can shave right in your car on the way to work or anywhere since they are cordless and run on batteries. Also, I have never cut myself using an electric shaver, yet it happens almost every time I shave with a razor. The big disadvantage of using an electric shaver is that it's hard to reach curves and contours of certain parts of your face and neck. That leaves whiskers still growing and an uneven shave. Newer electric shaver models have improved on comlete coverage, but it appears they will never shave as cleanly as a razor with shaving cream.

Disposable Razors:

Disposable razors can become expensive over time if that is all you use. Perhaps getting 5 good shaves from a razor. This means you are always buying new disposable cartridges and spending $10-$15 month on supplies. A good electric shaver will last 2 years, maybe longer for some men. The top selling disposable razors at Amazon.com are Gillette Sensor3 System Replacement Cartridges (Pack of 8) ($15), Schick SlimTwin Disposable Razors Mens - 5 Per Pack, 12 Packs ($43), Super Max 3 Disposable Razors for Men - 4 Razors/Pack, 6 Pack ($29.59), Bic Mens Disposable Shaver, Original - SMP121 - 12 Each, 12 Packs ($35), Bump Fighter Mens Disposable Razors Mens - 12 X 4 Pack ($32), Gillette SensorExcel Shaver for Men with 2 Cartridges (Pack of 3) ($21).

Best Rotary Shaver:

I've owned both Norelco and Braun shavers, but the best rotary shaver I've seen is the Norelco Speed XL 8140XL ($90). Rotary shavers are great at handling longer hairs and are more likely to be chosen over foil shavers by men who shave less often. Rotary electric shavers don't shave as close as foil shavers, like those from Braun. The triple-blade rotary disc technology has improved on a closer shave and the 2-year warranty and 60 day money back trial period are big pluses. You can even clean the Speed XL with water.
