Philips Norelco 2300 Electric Shaver Review: It’s Not For Everyone

If you can’t find the 9300, get whichever 9000-series model is cheapest. In 2019, we tested the S9000 Prestige , which includes a digital battery meter—a nonessential upgrade—but unlike the 9300 doesn’t come with a cleaning system. It was pretty easy to clean, had a nice precision blade and felt good in our hand, but it just couldn’t separate itself from the rest of the pack. We got a couple nicks that first time but soon found that shaving with these safety razors — and the Bevel especially — wasn’t too different from the multi-blade cartridges we’d grown accustomed to. The ConairMan Lithium-Powered Ear and Nose Hair Trimmer is designed with a 360-degree beveled blade system that’ll give you a super close, nick-free ear or nose trim. This tool also comes with a detail trimmer and shaver attachment that makes it easy to achieve barber-quality clean-ups from the comfort of your own bathroom.

In fact I can’t remember a time my visage felt quite so smooth. Particularly when it comes to Phillips shavers and, to a slightly lesser extent Braun, there are usually at least three versions of each shaver. But for the old guard who prefers Braun Series 5 a smooth appearance, and younger men turning away from the beard, an electric razor is just the thing, and these are the best electric shavers. If the shaver itself doesn’t convince you, Braun has also put together an outstanding kit.

It didn’t provide a very close shave, but it was quite easy to clean and comfortable to use. Gillette’s new Planet KIND razor was a bit uncomfortable when we shaved with it. It didn’t glide across our face like the SkinGuard did, and it didn’t provide a remarkably close shave either. This razor and its blades are 100% recyclable through Terracycle, which is nice, but safety razor blades are also recyclable. So if you’re looking for an eco-friendly razor, we’d still recommend the Bevel Safety Razor.

Philips Norelco Shaver

It comes with Philips SmartCare Centre for charging and cleaning. Just drop and click the shaver into position, and after a rather noisy process, it comes out smelling sweet and looking good as new. Be aware that you’ll need to splash out extra on additional cleaning fluid cartridges, but these last for roughly two to three months. If it weren’t for the Panasonic ES-LS9A, we’d be crowning this the new king of shavers.

Imagine the horizontal spinning blade on a power lawn mower—but with teeth—and you’ll get the idea. Philips Norelco’s Multi Groomer is a 25-piece grooming kit that can handle any shaving, trimming, or clipping needs you may have. This battery-powered tool comes with self-sharpening steel blades that easily detach and reattach for quick cleaning. There are several factors worth considering in a beard trimmer.

But there is one more thing required to make the smart dock work. Each time you plug in the shaver for charging, every indicator will blink on and off at Braun Series 5 once and a chime will sound, to announce that the shaver has entered charge mode. In the above image you may notice that the tag is somewhat sheared.

Often better materials lead to better durability but come with a cost. While we suggest considering the materials of a product, it’s unnecessary to exceed your budget only for a better-built quality.

While Gillette says this causes a shave that isn’t as close as its five-blade razors, we didn’t notice much of a difference between the SkinGuard and the other cartridge blades we tested. In fact, excluding the safety razors, we thought it gave one of the closest shaves of the group. Panasonic LV97 ARC5 Electric Cordless Razor offers high-end features while making sure your skin stays protected. One of its best qualities is its unparalleled performing 14,000 CPM motor, giving 70,000 cross-cuts in under a minute. It even has a built-in AI sensor that detects your beard density and sets the power accordingly. Its advanced skin protection razor makes sure you never get a nick.
