Best of the best

The best shaver

around has a silly

RRP (£430!) but is

available for around

£300. It’s good for

sensitive skin, mows

long stubble and is

really close to the

shave you get from

traditional razors.

£300, philips.co.uk

PANASONIC ES LV95

Don’t pay the £330

RRP: this superb

wet and dry winner

is widely discounted

and often available

for half the price.

At that price it’s a

bargain alternative

to much dearer

premium shavers.

£160, panasonic.com/uk

BRAUN SERIES 9 9296CC

This is Braun’s

best and it’s great

if you don’t shave

daily. The Braun

laughs in the face of

three-day growth,

and its retractable

beard trimmer helps

£327, braun.com

PHILIPS SERIES 9000 S9211/26

Much cheaper

than the Prestige,

but with similar

superb shaving

performance. It

doesn’t have the

anti-friction coating,

and is less adept at

longer stubble, but

PHILIPS SONICARE

DIAMONDCLEAN SONIC

This is a great

toothbrush with

excellent cleaning

power, and an

attractive but easily

smashed glass

charger. It also

comes with a handy

travel case with

£145, philips.co.uk

PHILIPS SONICARE

DIAMONDCLEAN SMART SONIC

It’s hilariously

expensive and

monstrously over-

specced but this

range topper looks

good and, more

importantly, it makes

your teeth look

good. Shop around –

don’t pay the RRP.

£145, philips.co.uk

PHILIPS SONICARE 6100

PROTECTIVECLEAN

This is top value

pick in the Sonicare

range: not too pricey

but not lacking any

important features

either. It’s very

capable and still

Philips’ expensive

‘smart’ brush heads.

ORAL-B GENIUS 9000

This is an extremely

good electric

toothbrush with

a rather pointless

smartphone app, but

it does a great job of

cleaning and comes

brush heads, so it’s a

bit of a bargain.

PHILIPS SERIES 9000 BT9297/13

The best trimmer

for general beard

maintenance,

this has a largely

VXSHUćXRXVODVHU

(for ultra-straight

edging, supposedly)

but also boasts

£80, philips.co.uk

BRAUN BT3040

This is a bargain

all-rounder, offering

39 precision length

options with its

combs, plus you

get a Gillette razor

included for edging.

The battery life isn’t

great, but otherwise

this is a top deal.

£26, braun.com

PHILIPS ONEBLADE PRO

The best trimmer for

those with sensitive

skin, this uses

innovative OneBlade

technology. It’s good

for both your face

and your downstairs,

although you may

wish to change

heads in between.

£50, philips.co.uk

PANASONIC ER-GD60

For slightly longer

beards, this is the

one to go for. Its

unusual, ‘side-on’

cutting action, where

you pull the shaver

through your hirsute

tresses more like a

comb, soon becomes

second nature.
