Best Electric Razor & Shaver 2021 – Buyer’s Guide

A comfortable to use cordless electric model, this cute little pink Philips electric shaver is totally worth its price tag.

It is a very skin-friendly electric model with a great ergonomic design that makes it easy to grip and manoeuvre. As it is wet and dry, take it into the shower for a more comfortable and less painful shave. It can also be rinsed under water to clean.

We love the pearl-tip trimmers which help if you have very sensitive skin. The comfort cushions either side of the blade makes going over knees and ankles a lot more comfortable. There is also a bikini trimming comb, skin stretcher cap and soft glide cap included so you can take care of all body parts.

Although this electric shaver doesn’t offer a super precise shave, it’s pretty good as far as electric models go (you can always go over final few bits again). Mid-priced, it is great for anyone who wants to step away from the disposable throwaway culture.

Affordable Remington electric model for perfect for use in the shower and if you have sensitive skin.

Remington is known for its affordable and quality shavers, and this one is great for sensitive skin. Using an electric model on delicate skin is always a struggle, and you should always follow care instructions and stop use if any irritation occurs. We appreciate Remington catering to sensitive skin with cooling aloe vera, making this the choice for women who are not sure whether their skin can handle the switch from traditional models.

We especially love the dual hypoallergenic floating foils which make fast work of hair removal without damaging skin.

This Braun shaver is battery-operated, which will appeal to a lot of people out there. It can sometimes be annoying having to charge an appliance for hours to get little use out of it in return. Thankfully, Braun have answered your prayers.

It comes with two to get you started, and we would recommend that you always purchase some from the strong leading brand to get the best power from the shaver (you know the ones we are talking about).

A well-designed ergonomic head makes for a comfortable shave, though you won’t be getting the same results you would as with an epilator or waxing. But this is both understandable and still great for the price. Bonus points for the cool design and the fact that it’s quiet when in use (no one likes a shaver that sounds like a freight train).

A great shower-safe option, which provides up to 30 minutes runtime from a single charge.

Firstly, it is nice to see an electric model for women that isn’t pink for once! We love this little turquoise design from Babyliss that offers great value for money. The floating trimmer hugs the skin so going over knees and and other curves is easy and comfortable.

Use it dry or in the shower, if you prefer to get everything done at the same time. It also means the head is washable under running water. The ergonomic handle is great to hold so you won’t risk dropping it. Great for delicate work. Included is two length combs, so it can trim body hair anywhere down to 2 mm.

A perfect shaver for those women who prefer to do their shaving in the shower as it takes to being under water very well. We’d like a longer battery life for the amount of time it needs to fully charge but it just means you’ll have to be prepared!

Cordless and gentle to use, this electric option is another Philips gem.

Small, but perfectly formed, this women’s model has a small shaving head for precision and works wonders even on those tricky underarms. Water tight, you can take it into the shower or bath and also give it a quick rinse after use.

The hypoallergenic foil coating will protect sensitive skin, and the slim design is easy to grip and move. Perfect when precision is key.

It is battery operated which will put some people off but we think it is a plus – no more charging cables or waiting for it to be ready. Just pop in some new AA’s and you’re good to go. A cleaning brush rounds off the package, and for the price, you can’t expect any more.

Thanks to the 12 included attachments, you can trim, cut and shape any length of hair into any style you wish – perfect for those who are very conscious about their beard.

It will follow the contours of your face to ensure you are comfortable and achieve the desired aim with little effort.

Use it with or without foam to suit your preference, which also makes it great for taking on holiday or keeping with you should you need it for a touch-up. The 90 minutes running time should allow you to get quite a few uses out of it before recharging, and when the time comes, it only takes an hour to get up to full battery again.

The blades have been designed to last, and they will only need replacing around every four months which is good for your wallet, too.

The overall build is slimline, so it is good to grip and control. And the dual side blade will allow you to see exactly what you are doing, so you’ll have no nasty accidents or make any mistakes.

This self-cleaning electric shaving system from Braun has in the past been voted the best men’s wet & dry shaver, perfect for using in the shower.

The foil model comes with an awesome self-cleaning station that takes all the hassle out of beard care. It self-lubricates, dries then charges the shaver. You can also hold it under water for quick cleans.

Quick-charge will see it ready to go in just five minutes. We have all been rushing out the door when we have had a glance in the mirror and seen that we have missed a bit of shaving. No need to wait around for it to be ready. The pivoting head also offers comfort and precision.

For the price, you get a powerful and reliable item. Safe to say we think it’ll be with you for years.

The Remington XR1450 HyperFlex model has rotary functionality and is fully waterproof meaning it can be used in the shower. Perfect for those who like the best of both worlds.

This shaver is both practical and powerful. Well-designed to fit your hand, it offers a precise shave with rotary blades and the CountourFloat heads. No need to miss sections around the chin, as it’ll blend naturally.

Antimicrobial surrounds on the head offer a clean, calm shave – great for sensitive skin. Bonus points for the worldwide voltage, making this a great travel companion for the modern, discerning jetsetter. It is affordable, but best suited for those with less than two days bread growth.

Basic yet great design and with an impressive one week battery life, this great Braun Series 3 is perfect for anyone on a budget but who doesn’t want to forego quality.

Try out the MicroComb shaving experience for yourself. This bright blue shaver has flexible cutting elements and three blade positions for super precise and accurate shaving. There is a five minute quick charge option, and because it is waterproof, cleaning is as simple as running it under the tap for a few minutes.

A fantastic shaver for all types of beard contouring, this model uses a foil blade system. If your skin is sensitive, there is no need to worry.

The Philips Series 3000 wet and dry body groomer has been voted the best 2-in-1 body groomer for men. It has a pivoting head, comb attachment and a trim and shave head to make shaving hard to reach areas easier and is designed to be fully waterproof (so can be used in the shower) and hypoallergenic.

With 50 minutes of cordless use on an 8 hour charge, this shaver also has a battery indicator to let you know when the shaver is charged and when you only have 10 minutes of charge remaining.

We love that this product doesn’t need to be oiled like most shavers.

Thanks to precise cutters, this shaver can tackle hairs of any length and in fewer strokes, too.

Say you are rushing out the door and need to shave, but have only a minute to spare. The cutters will work hard to do the job, so it can take 50% of the time it used to. ActiveContour technology will hug your face, getting a closer cut with every movement.

Because it is compact and there is no bulky long handle, it is also easy to move around the face. Even if it is going to take a little longer than you hoped, you aren’t going to be straining to reach areas at difficult angles. As it can be used both wet and dry, you can also use it in the shower or with foam/gel, depending on your preference and particular requirements.

The 45-minute battery is a good amount for at least a week’s worth of touch-ups, or one or two big shaves throughout the week. When it needs charging, the four hour time isn’t too drastic either.

There is also a trimmer, in case you need to touch up body hair or your sideburns before your next visit to the hairdressers. This all makes it the ideal companion for weekends away, or anyone who likes to keep their shaver with them at all times and needs to keep things to a minimum.

Many other users have commented that it makes for the perfect head shaver, too – great if you need the best of all worlds.

Perfect for men who prefer their shaves dry, this is a shaver for those who also like to have a close shave with little effort.

The CloseCut Blade System and four-directional heads offer flexibility on areas such as the neck and chin, so you don’t have to hold it at awkward angles to get the job done. Plus, the blades are self sharpening so you’ll never suffer a dull experience again.

A powerful lithium ion battery is included, and you get 35 minutes use from an 8 hour shave. Not the best available, but if you’re one who likes to be prepared it shouldn’t be an issue. One overnight charge will see it ready for the morning, and you should get about 11 shaves out of 35 minutes anyway.

It is small and light so good to take away. Not suitable for anyone with an in-demand beard, but for anyone just starting out or who likes to keep on top of their facial hair the price is well worth paying.
