Hardly anything is as individual in men’s grooming as shaving. We did the test and picked out the best wet and dry razors for you at the moment
The best Electric shaver, Series 9 Pro+
The ‘Series 9 Pro+’ is currently the flagship when it comes to precision and close, skin-friendly dry shaving. Braun’s 9 series has just become the test winner at the Stiftung Warentest. The special thing about the waterproof razor, which you can also use in the shower, is its shaving head, which consists of five shaving elements. To capture every hair while shaving, the razor uses 10,000 micro-vibrations to raise the hairs. This ensures a smooth shave result, regardless of whether you have a 1, 3, or 7-day beard.
Another very useful tool is the ProLift trimmer made of surgical steel, which can be extended with one finger and effectively captures even longer hair, sideburns, and mustaches. The 9 Pro+ also comes with a ProComfort attachment. This attachment consists of small rubber nubs that prepare your skin for shaving and remove ingrown, tight hairs.
That’s what’s special: The premium equipment includes a cleaning station that cleans your device after each use.
Battery life: 60 minutes running time
Equipment: 6-in-1 cleaning station with cleaning cartridge, ProComfort attachment, travel case, charging cable, cleaning brush
The best-wet razor
Do you still use disposable razors? Hands off! We have something much better for you. The premium stainless steel razor from Zwilling combines excellent design (German Design Award Winner 2021) and exceptional ergonomics in one. Rustproof, matte satin stainless steel with an innovative black PVD coating ensures that the razor is extremely durable and scratch-resistant.
Thanks to the cooperation of the proven Gillette Mach3 blade system (Gillette Mach3 and Mach3 Turbo), your skin gets a particularly gentle and low-irritation wet shave. A razor that not only sits comfortably in the hand but is also an absolute eye-catcher in the bathroom.
That’s what’s special: Ergonomically perfected stainless steel handle
The best trimmer
The OneBlade from Philips is still one of the most popular trimmers, and rightly so. It is an absolute multi-talent that you can use for facial and body shaving. Trimming, styling, or completely shaving works flawlessly thanks to the unique OneBlade technology, which can shave hair of any length.
The included precision comb can be adjusted to 14 different lengths and allows you to have any beard length you want, from light stubble to stubble or longer beards. We use the attachable skin protection attachment to shave sensitive areas of the body, such as under the armpits.
That’s what’s special: the 360-degree blade adapts to the contours of your face and cuts in every direction.
Battery life: 2 hours of wireless operation with one hour of charging time
Features: storage bag, precision comb with 14 length settings (0.4 to 10 mm), attachable skin protection attachment, attachable trimming attachment for the body
The best intimate razor
The INTIMATE Trimmer i5 from Gillette is the first electric trimmer for the intimate area, and it convinced us. Unlike other hair trimmers, the blades of this device are much closer together. This not only prevents skin irritation but also painful inflammation and injuries in the intimate area, as the skin cannot be easily pulled between the narrow blades.
If you have very sensitive skin, we recommend using one of the comb attachments to reduce the risk of cuts. Another advantage that convinced us is that you can also use the waterproof trimmer in the shower.
That’s what’s special: SkinFirst technology, which prevents cuts.
Battery life: 100 minutes of wireless use
Equipment: 3 comb attachments of different lengths
The best multi-trimmer set
Do you want a complete package with durable, robust quality? In this case, we recommend the Super-X multi-trimmer set from BaByliss. The 15-in-1 set has a practical magnet system with which the shaving heads can be replaced quickly and easily.
The waterproof shaver also has a practical, digital display that shows the charging progress and the remaining battery life. In addition to daily beard care, you can gently trim every hair on your body with the right attachments, from long hair attachments to ear and nose hair trimmers.
That’s what’s special: The MagFix system uses magnetic force to hold the shaving heads securely in place.
Battery life: Fast charging system with a 3-hour charge for up to 5 hours of wireless operation or a 20-minute quick charge for up to 40 minutes of operation
Equipment: 4x shaving heads with MagFix system, precision trimmer made of Japanese stainless steel, 1x stubble comb attachment, 4x beard comb attachments, 2x body comb attachments, 1x eyebrow comb attachment, 3x body comb attachments, ear, and nose hair trimmer
The best safety razor
In recent years, barber shops have been springing up like mushrooms, showing how much importance men place on grooming and shaving. But you don’t have to go to your trusted barber for every shave; you can also achieve a precise shave at home with a little practice.
Our favorite is the safety razor from King C. Gillette because it not only fits very well in the hand but also offers an unbeatable price-performance ratio. The wet razor is also particularly suitable for contouring facial hair and cutting very precise edges.
That’s what’s special: the double-sided blade can be changed quickly and easily.
