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 S 9211 / 31
A rotary shaver that
requires a circular
motion on the face.
Stubble disappears
like magic, and the
whole experience is
very low-irritation.
You get a clip-
on trimmer for
sideburns too.
£199, philips.co.uk
BRAUN SERIES 7
70 - N 7200 CC
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
no exaggeration.
£ 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 9900 PRESTIGE
Philips’ most
advanced electric
toothbrush yet, it
features SenseIQ
technology. It senses
pressure, motion and
coverageup to 100
times per second,
adapting the intensity
if you brush too hard.
£300, 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
sensor, and excellent
rotary cleaning.
£ 35 , oralb.co.uk
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
USB power.
£145, philips.co.uk
ORAL-B IO 9
The RRP for the iO
Series 9 is ridiculous,
but you can get it for
less, and it is brilliant
at actually cleaning
your teeth, plus it’s
also very stylish, with
a colour touchscreen
and a tooth-tracking
monitoring system.
£ 500 , oralb.co.uk
PHILIPS BT 9000 PRESTIGE
The classiest looking
beard trimmer
we’ve ever clapped
eyes on, it offers an
equally classy shave.
Designed primarily
for neater beard-
scaping, it whips away
whiskers without any
snags or pulls.
£120, philips.co.uk
PANASONIC I-SHAPER
ER-GD 60
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 likea
comb, soon becomes
second nature.
£ 50 , panasonic.co.uk
BRAUN BEARD TRIMMER 7
This trimmer feels like
good value for money,
earning it a place on
this list. Small, light
and easy to use, its
tough blades shave
cleanly. Battery life is
solid, and the unit is
waterproof enough
for easy rinsing.
£ 65 , 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
