Finding the best type of shaver for your needs can be a process. You don’t to look like you ran through a forest of dull blades or decided to initiate the patchy look as a new fashion statement. The right type of shaver can make all the difference to your routine.
We have selected three of our top choices for electric shavers. We will tell you what they have to offer and how they perform so you can carefully decide what type of shaver you want to use to get the best look.
1. The Philips Norelco 6400 Shaver
Our first electric Shaver is the Philips Norelco 6400. It used to be the SensoTouch 2D but now comes with an upgraded design.
It has Gyroflex 2D contouring for a close comfortable shave and comes with a beard or sideburn trimming attachment so you can get the exact lines you want. It also has dual precision shaving heads for short hairs and stubble that works both for wet and dry skin. It is cordless and rechargeable.
The add-on beard trimmer comes with five different length settings. On top of that, this shaver comes with a skin glide surface for smooth movement. These features all sound good, but let’s see how the pros and cons stack up.
Pros
- It is waterproof so you can use it in the shower
- It can be used with 220Voltage
- It comes with reasonably priced replacement heads
- It gives a close shave without irritation
- It is very easy to clean
- It holds a charge well that lasts for about a week with regular use
- It is very quiet
Cons
- It can take your skin some time to get used to electric shaving
- It has a large charging station that is cumbersome to pack for travelling
- The trimmer attachment is a hassle to attach
- It has to be cleaned after every shave

This is a good quality electric shaver if you want to stop fiddling with blades and start shaving with an electric model. It is well made, wont break the bank and gives you a smooth easy shave.
2. The SURKER Rotary electric Shaver
Another contender in the electric shaver race is the SURKER Rotary. This is a three in one shaver with different attachments, including a nose hair trimmer.
It is waterproof so can use it for either wet or dry shaving. It comes with a rechargeable lithium battery for a quick charging shaver. The SURKER shaver also has an LCD display with an indicator to let you know when it is fully charged.
It has a double bladed design and it is ergonomically designed to fit the curve of your face and neck. It also has a lock function so your children won’t accidently shave what they shouldn’t. It also comes with a bag and an instruction manual.

It is a quick charging shaver and it is waterproof for wet and dry shaving. You can clean it under a running tap very easily. It promises a smooth and close shave.

Cons

As a travel electric razor, this SweetLF is really top of its class (and price range). It is compact and gives a close and comfortable shave (if you don’t have a very coarse beard). It is our favorite of the three contenders.
The final word
These electric shavers each offer good value for money if you don’t want to empty your wallet just to get a good shave.
If you are looking for a shaver to take with you when you travel the SweetLF electric shaver is really a good choice, it is compact and charges with a USB cable.
The SURKER rotary also offers convenience and it can be used either charged or plugged in, but does not handle a thick beard very well.
The Philips Norelco is a good start for your first electric razor, it is not too hard on your skin and holds a charge very well. We recommend the SweetLF as our top choice, but your beard, wallet and needs will have the last say.
