T3 - UK (2020-10)

96 T3 OCTOBER 2020

Best of the best

Given that the

trend is to shave

less nowadays, we

recommend the

Braun Series 9 foil

shaver over Philips’

almost equally

impressive efforts. It

is slightly better on

longer stubble.

£250, 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

BRAUN SERIES 7 70-N7200CC

This new offering

from Braun, with

three foil heads,

is an absolute

cracker in every

respect. It shaves

as close as a wet

razor, only in half

the time. And that’s

£165, braun.com

PHILIPS SERIES 9000 PRESTIGE

The second best

shaver 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

PHILIPS SONICARE

DIAMONDCLEAN SONIC

This is a great

toothbrush with

H[FHOOHQWFOHDQLQJ

power, and an

attractive but easily

smashed glass

charger. It also

comes with a handy

travel case with

£145, philips.co.uk

ORAL-B GENIUS 9000

7KLVLVDQH[WUHPHO\

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.

£85, oralb.co.uk

PHILIPS SONICARE

DIAMONDCLEAN 9000

even over the

DiamondClean

Sonic, the 9000

adds an app that

will let you know if

you’re not brushing

frequently enough,

and when the head

needs changing.

£170, philips.co.uk

ORAL-B PRO 2 2500

This only has two

cleaning modes

and no ‘smart’

functionality to

speak of, but ask

yourself... do you

really care? It has

a timer, pressure

rotary cleaning.

£35, oralb.co.uk

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

LQWKHEXVLQHVVb

£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.
