An electric razor is about convenience, but finding one that is reasonably priced and that offers a fast, close shave can be daunting \u2014 after all, there are as many models out there as the number of whiskers on your face.<\/p>\n

Over the last five years, we have bought nearly 40 men’s electric shaving razors and rigorously tested them side by side on beards, bald heads, mustaches, and stubble, while assessing each one on critical metrics like the quality of the shave, runtime, and ease of cleaning.<\/p>\n

We recommend most people buy the Braun Series 8 as it has great shave quality, run time, and ease of cleaning. <\/p>\n

If you want to save a lot of money and are okay with slightly lower shave quality and run time, get the Braun Series 3. <\/p>\n

For head shaving, our top recommendation is the Remington Balder Pro, which has 5 razor heads and contours the head nicely. <\/p>\n

Editor’s Note: We updated our electric razor review on September 30, 2025, after testing new models from Panasonic and Freebird.<\/em><\/p>\n

    The Braun Series 8 with PowerCase is our favorite because of its superior shaving performance and versatility. It comes with a self-cleaning base and can be used wet or dry, featuring a powerful motor that quickly dispatches with stubble. Jason Wanlass, our lead tester, said, \u201cThe Series 8 leaves a super smooth shave with minimal irritation, making it one of my favorite choices to start the day.<\/em>\u201d <\/p>\n

    The rechargeable battery can run for over two hours (132 minutes, to be exact). That’s longer than the battery life of nearly every other model we tested. It also means the Series 8 could only require a recharge every few weeks, depending on use, and would be an excellent choice for travel. Its travel case doubles as a charger, so you don’t have to pack a cord and adapter.<\/p>\n

    Unsurprisingly, a device built with such a robust set of features comes at a higher cost. Along with the up-front cost, you’ll need to budget for self-cleaner fluid, which requires replacement about every eight weeks. This is secondary to the blade cassette and will also need to be periodically swapped out, creating moderate maintenance costs. <\/p>\n

    The slide-up trimmer is workable but wasn’t the best of the bunch in our testing. We should note that the Series 8<\/strong> is the smaller sibling of the high-power Braun Series 9 Pro, which actually scored slightly higher in testing. If your budget allows and you want a top-of-the-line daily electric razor that offers a close shave, there is no question the Series 9 Pro deserves recognition as a premium upgrade. Its cutting head has a more intricate blade system than the 8, and the razor is just a little more powerful overall. Yet when it came down to picking award winners, one of our testers was quick to point out, \u201cThe Series 8 is very similar to the Series 9 Pro, but it sells for 20% less<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n
