Editorial

The hair removal methods have not changed in recent years, let alone developed on a large scale. Besides razors, whether wet or dry, epilators and creams show merely Trimmer, whose mission is not so much the bald shaving and more the styling of the hair. Beard trimmer, nose hair trimmer, shaver body and individual Neufindungen offer us as customers more options than we could actually use. Which products are worth our money and can withstand the comparison against the rest of the market in its function, we want to emphasize separately and classify clearly in the rankings.

The shaver test gives over specially ordered products presented, the value comparison of all hair remover according to category. The individual test report includes the market overview and provides the shaver in relation to the market situation. We use blind tests to evaluate the smoothness of the skin after shaving, putting on the split-face method to have a direct comparison on the face of the subject and argue about the sense and nonsense of delivery scopes. Ultimately, however, it is the price and the classification of the manufacturers, which make a razor to how he is perceived. The fact that the advertising does not always correspond to what ultimately in razor ends up test, we had to learn the hard way. The added value of expensive products was often not clear and it is now up to us the readers to communicate this fact to gentlest possible way.

It beats the 2016. What? Is already so late? Yes, there is news in the market for electric shavers. Nothing earth-shattering, but decide you have to anyway. I have been following the market since 2011 and must say that I Shavers are no longer a mystery well. In addition, I have asked competent people for their opinion and read relevant reviews. Today I opt for the Braun Series 9 / 9090cc. Relatively fresh from Braun shaver forged, marked as new top model, the price drops still. Currently at about 200 €. Because you can do no wrong.

As is well it?

Electric shaver will never be as thorough as a wet shave, but the very close. This has the technical constraints imposed by itself. The reason is that electric shavers always keep a distance from the skin, while the blade of a wet razor without a safety net on the skin rest. The thing as "freshness" after the wet shave notice is nothing more than emerging skin irritations. It is the mere air one spührt on the still moist and chiseled. Very effective electric shaver can too. This give rise to "freshness". Only not so destructive. Other pluses of electric shaving are definitely the low cost, the security against cuts, and the lack of skin irritation. I'm staying here.

Wet shaving will be more thoroughly, but like to mow more way than present.

The thing with the forest and the trees

Currently there are in the crowd though "many" razor, but the difference between the models is remarkably low. This is mainly because the manufacturers present an each model identical with different delivery scopes. So there are per razor equal to 4 or 5 models. In detail, the one then a bag has it, another display or something comfortable as a cleaning station. this means that we have to compare far fewer products than the market will bear. we want finally the decisive feature, shaving, rated . know Nevertheless, it is a look at the equipment options to throw.

It needs expert ratings for purchasing decisions

Table: How many versions are in the section of each apparatus.

Mains operation or waterproof?

Almost all electric shavers available come with a rechargeable, permanently installed battery. This is moved in all cases of a Kunststoffgehäues. Loading this battery either via contact surfaces (which are these inconspicuous circular things on the back) or via a plug connection to the mains.

I think only a few exceptions, adorn themselves with the term "travel shaver" and grab here back on batteries. Reason for the different voltage electricity networks is further countries. So who goes on a journey gets either an inferior travel shaver or buys equal NEN Multi plug.

The reason why a so and the others make it just different, it follows the features of the razor. Some rely on contact surfaces to be able to advertise as waterproof can. The other write to the end that they can also be operated when the battery is empty; namely the power cord. Both together in one device, you will never find for safety reasons. to write there again: mains operation? Not waterproof. Waterproof? No network operation. The recommendation is in any case for network operation. Battery empty? Plugging and shave.

Network operation? Not waterproof. Waterproof? No network operation.

Kopfsache?

Against all experience you can not live without his head. This also applies to electric shavers. The good thing about this is that you can peep. One can opt for a. For the person who is best.

The shaving heads of electrical razors differ in many ways. However, these supposed differences do not affect the thoroughness; only to the handling. And in a small extent. The language of things like a pivoting shaving head, the "better adapts to the face", according to advertising messages, or even a multi-dimensional shaving head, which can be reduced and tend in all directions. The problem with this adaptation joyful shaving heads is that you the pressure on the face by a joint control, which counteracts the control. it is good when the shaving head can be fixed. What do you think, why this feature was probably built?

Shaving foil is not the same shaving foil. Blade is not the same blade. Say "the". The advertising people. Ignore everything again? With a photo as I forgave my face, I do not disfigure the text. Of course, there is a minimal difference in durability and sharpness. However, one should not the madness of datasheets blind follow. Täte one that would inevitably end up at the most expensive model. it eventually wants only the best for themselves. I hope so. for them. If a high price is closer to the belief in the product, then you should willy-nilly take the more expensive product. When viewed with sober expertise is not necessary.

Do not lose in the details!

Since you a razor, itself can not view the Datasheet view on whether it is actually better than another, comparing the dark. Let the. In the moment when you can be assured that the product is the best, such efforts have not forgotten, because they can not lead to an unambiguous assessment.

..Man Even the advertising copy is delivered otherwise helpless

Scherfolien- or rotary shaver?

I have already touched on. The final aspect of the shaving head is the basic system behind it. The technique. We distinguish between shaving foil shavers and rotary shavers. Shaving foil shaver show up in different presentation. There are models with 1,2,3 or 4 staggered shaving foils. Sometimes even an integrated cutter queued. Does everything nothing. If a foil is good, then I need one and not four. This is as if I let herfahren 4 lawnmower succession.

The same also applies to rotary shavers. Each model in the genus comes with 3 rotating blades blocks. Here makes the whole, however, sense because one alone is quite small. 
And? Is there now the crucial advice on which technique to limit his search? Surprisingly, I can struggle through and say that shaving foil shaver a tick are still thoroughly me to. The handling of rotary shavers is something well used to. It is less intuitive in the matter, because it is simply more difficult to lead a arranged in a triangle team in each surface to be shaved. So a part of the shaving foil is over there much more intuitive. If you have thick beard and never had any problems with ingrown hairs, it may well also be a rotary shaver. I go there, play it safe.

Cleaning station?

They all do the same but look different. as we have already said goodbye to waterproof shavers, we can focus on the other differences in individual model series. It may be said that the trend of the large selection goes away. Thank God. However, this is still the future. Currently found just in the house Brown countless unnecessary products on the market. Differences between the models are as small as another display, a travel case and what not. You will have noticed, we are back in the woods.

Ultimately, it comes with the equipment only to a single question to: cleaning station? Yes or no. A cleaning station is not just for charging the razor, but also allows to clean and maintain these. Cleansed is here with an alcohol-containing solution, which is enriched with fragrances. The nose finally shaved with. Another component of a solution is machine oil for the care of the blades. Do they want to do it by hand, this procedure really?

This luxury does not only cost a one-time charge to be found, the station supplied. Even costs arise.

So a cleaning station is powered by replaceable cartridges that provide said liquid. Around 5 € cost as a cartridge. 4 times a year, the recommendation, the cartridge should be replaced by a new one. Extrapolated to the annual result costs so around 20 €. Fair Deal, and 92% say positive votes in the customer reviews on Amazon. More than 1,200 people since their views have expressed.

Cleaning station? I'd love to!

Let The Games Begin

There are currently 4 significant producers that vie for the attention of buyers. Seconds out for: Braun, Philips, Panasonic and Remington. With the exception of the Remington manufacturers supply their electric shaver in series. Each of these series is based on a single razor which is as mentioned in various variations available. Shaver a series but every shave equal. Notice!

How to shave at all right?

The electric shaving is by far no craftsmanship, as it represents the wet shave. Nevertheless, there are also stumbling blocks that a difficult way to the smooth face. What these are and how to pave its path, here:

1.    Dry, dry, dry. Not for nothing electric shavers are also called dry shaver. Evil men have devised for better selling, you still can sell waterproof electric shaver. The have done so. Who has ever tried to drive with a razor on wet or worse washed skin, the white of my indignation.

2.    The reason why the dry shaving should be respected in all circumstances is not least in the lubricity of the razor on the natural film of the skin. Anyone familiar with the wet shave, but know that there are products that can put that hair, improve gliding properties and allow aufquillen hair. This possibility is also present in the electrical shaving. With Rasierölen, or lotions that prepare beard hair and skin for electric shaving. The whole thing is nothing earth-shattering, but does not hurt. A matter of taste.

3.    Trim. If someone a few days do not have dealt with its new shaver, the beard may be too long, as the hair can be caught by the shaving foil. The built-in trimmer helps here. Cut the hair and let them settle the finer the apparatus.

4.    The bottom line? On the other hand? If you look at the facial hair of most men more closely, you will notice that the hair not necessarily in the same direction. The direction of growth, it is also clearly states the problem in the often demonized neck. It is here that nature in no doubt that they did not consider shaving. Electric shavers can theoretically work with and against the bar, some facial hair is, however, in an unfavorable angle and is detected more deeply against the grain, therefore. Unlike the wet shave but there is no need here to worry about cutting yourself to have a bloodbath.

5.    Care will learn not only the shaving, but also the razor. The cleaning station that is specifically recommended by us, is only one step. The care and maintenance of the station can also be done manually, but is cumbersome and not everyone wants to still take care of another child. Another step is to replace the shaving head after regular use. Such a shaving head does not cost the world and needs to be replaced at most once every year. The shaver is then like new again!

Higher faster further?

One would assume that things do within a few years. But this is not so. Shavers do custom work. Engineers have to create some way to bring out of a limited system even more. You can see that in the new generation. No big news. There Remington that rely on low-cost alternatives, Philips, who cling Stur at its rotation system and Panasonic, which are somehow always ignored (greetings to the Stiftung Warentest).

Well, as much as I wanted to show only the bright side. Electric razors do not cut, they shred much more. Listed on this great photo:

Do you remember how I accused the manufacturers pettiness in the number of models and advertising copy? Even petty is to study well at the microscopic level the hair. Time to, in this context, acting boldly Smiley: :-).

Viewed objectively, we have a winner. Klammheimlich I am proud to have it, the best found. For my bathroom. But here should probably be able to serve any commercial bathroom for. The Braun Series 9 9090cc was a bit expensive, diminishes in terms of price, however, more and more. Eventually he settles well a below 200 €.

Preisverlauf.jpg

but this I do not want to wait and they should not. With the Series 9 is obtained namely a loyal friend. On years. Because the Series 9 came into the world recently. Who knows Brown, who knows that they hold an eternity to their product lines.

That which had the old top model, the Series 7 to fault, was not much. However, particularly the shaving head was a little too thin. Panasonic here had the lead. But that's all forgotten. The new integrated cutter, the separately cares about fitting beard, the shaving head grows. Wonderful.

Shaving does not large compared to the Series 7 improved, but noticeably. This means that a projection is yet to be felt. Since ancient years, the current top model is always referred to the fact that it would come so close to the wet shave. As mentioned this is not so, is not and should not be. What we have here is rather the claim to maintain good electrical in hands. We want to be under no electric which behaves like a wet razor. This idea of ​​the optimum wet shaving needs of the minds.

The Series 9 9090cc has the mentioned features are all included. From the fixing of the shaving head, the network operation and the cleaning station, it meets all the requirements that we have put on our search. struck it rich I call the.

What others say:

Gizmodo calls the Series 9 as a luxury razor. Primarily because of its price imposing (At that time about 270 €). "But its true strength makes the Braun Series 9 from in close shaving. Here you realize Brauns decades of expertise that has flowed into the flagship shaver on. Shaving manages incredibly fast, skin gently and thoroughly. "4/5

http://www.gizmodo.de/2014/12/20/braun-series-9-9090cc.html

testmagazine.de self-experimentation with the Series 9: "Therefore, we tested the shaver at three different skin types. Despite its thoroughness - on the skin test subjects as a hair stuck to our few trains as good left - is shaving extremely gentle on the skin. Even with sensitive skin type no skin irritation as the dreaded razor bumps were noticeable. Even recalcitrant three-day beards are processed in a few strokes. In the test cycle achieved all subjects anytime convenient and efficient dry shaving. "

No alternative

Who is without prejudice to the Series 9, could theoretically a Panasonic call his own. There is a way that Panasonic's shavers is little empathy with. We know in this country nothing about Panasonic shaver. No advertising, no reviews on the part of leading institutes (Stiftung Warentest ignored since 2 test cycles the top models of Panasonic). I do not want to build solely on my humble opinion this letter so that I can not name any explicit alternative given the high price also, which means Panasonic ES-LV95.

Who this circumstance can now help? If you look at in more detail to fall on especially the poor pricings. The Series 7 now costs just as many as the Series 9. Philips is no real competition (rotary shaver) and Panasonic keeps out all, or is kept out. So there is lacking only at a price attractive razor.

Last chance

Who then 200 € has to the recommended 9 Series to buy 9090cc, will find the recommended features only in Series 3 390cc-fourth Again: possibility to fix the shaving head, network operation and cleaning station should not be missed. All that has the Series 3 390cc-fourth Shave? He can. Confirms the Stiftung Warentest. Rating Good (1.6), runner-electric shaver. Priced, well. Some 100 € have to lie down, to see the Series 3 enthroned with cleaning station in their bathroom. Yes, there are cheaper models, Yes are not necessarily bad, but the said features are missing, especially the cleaning station. Do not worry it is the competition. The trust pays off and saves time and nerves.

Conclusion

Sit apart with electric shavers and you can only win. It's time to break the old beliefs from untouchable razors and to seize the secure electronic shaving. The best example of this is our recommendation, the Series 9 / 9090cc with cleaning station. Brown is not without reason as a secret provider for Apple's designs. With the 9090cc world leader proves again its supremacy in the market. As far as I have heard, we are doing well, the economy is doing. There are also nearly 200 € for a longtime companion inside.
