What's the Best Electric Shaver Technology for Men? || Foil vs Rotary Shavers [Braun vs Philips]

In this video, we have a chinwag about electric shaver technologies for men. What's the best electric shaver men ... does the crown go to the foil shaver or the rotary shaver?
In this video I am using two high quality options from companies, Philips and Braun. These are perhaps the two most important companies in the electric shaver space at the moment.
Braun represents the best of the foil shaving industry, whereas Philips Norelco represents the best of the rotary shaving market.
The two shavers I have put head to head in this video are the Philips Series 5000 rotary shaver and the Braun Series 7.

UPDATE: I finally bought the Braun Series 9 Pro+ Video 'ere! kzbin.info/www/bejne/fGbUdmitqqqentU Translations of the day 🇬🇧: Chinwag = a conversation Init = short for 'isn't it' or 'wasn't it'....a way of leading someone to agree with you...kind of like a nodding gesture in a conversation "that mcdonalds was proper cushty init?" Sod = an unpleasant person or someone you feel sorry for "the poor sod lost all his money down the bettin shop" Mug = someone's face Nicker = 1 pound sterling "that steak meal cost me 20 nicker" Geezer = a male, typically an adult man from working class background - likes to drink in pubs, watch football and enjoys an occasional punch up Pucker = good, quality Lad = opposite of a lady (whatever that means)...but typically being a lad means you're a bit cheeky or blokeish Can’t be arsed = can't be bothered Nifty = something pleasant..often it has a unique quality about it "that's a nifty new phone case you got there" Bosh = a concusionary word ... it marks the ending of a sentence or a point similar to saying "job done, finito, full stop, bish bash bosh"

Greetings from Germany 🇩🇪. Loved the review with the British slang words 👍🏻👍🏻. Bought myself the Braun 9 Pro and only had old-school shavers before. I still wait for it to arrive. 🧑🏻‍💻

[@finnpeljo]

most entertaining video on eletric razors

[@Ololnen]

This is the thing that I want to see. An honest, proper bloke testing these on himself and sharing his honest, practical opinion. I don't want to see no commission-induced corporate article or a mash-up of stock and company ad footages. Thank you.

[@shiburu]

[@dentondunn4346]

I own 3 new razors. Norelco 5000 aqua touch and the 5000x & a Braun series 3. Both Norelcos shave very well dry, haven’t tried wet shave yet but even though they shave very close and comfortable I can go behind the norelco with the Braun series 3 and it takes off more and feels more smoother but honestly either of the 3 are great razors. You can’t go wrong with either of the 3 razors and all under $70 in the USA. Hope this comment helps someone cause this is my honest review.

[@BlackSails911]

LOL, this guy is pretty informative but even funny AF!

[@jsinssongs]

Never comment. Literally the best review ever.

top lad

[@markbenson3114]

Same this was great

[@craigfrench5646]

Picked up the Braun Series 5 recently. Combined with a pre-electric shave (Lectric) it gets me a better shave than my DE and with no irritation. For trouble spots I want to smooth out, there's enough slickness to hit it quick with a blade and be done.

[@arielspalter7425]

I came for a review and I laughed like I haven’t in while. 😅 great work 👍

[@picatsoo]

I love this dude! keep it up man!

[@TheHerrMan]

I ended up getting the Braun 7 bc of this video. IT DOES GET SILKY SMOOTH CLOSE LIKE MANUAL RAZOR! Thanks man for all of your research

[@user-sp1hz8hu5f]

Dude, you're a G!

[@AleksiJoensuu]

That little extra trimmer head is something to really look for. When my old shaver broke, I bought a Braun model that doesn't have the trimmer. Now I can't easily get at the hairs that are too long, and if I forget to shave I'm screwed. Problem is it's a Braun so it's a reliable, quality thing that I've now been stuck with for the past 7 years :D

[@AS-kz9kg]

The Braun reliability part is so relatable, been using my Cruzer 6 for over 11 years😅 Funny thing is I never even replaced the cutter blade

[@shaido9000]

Best revieuw ever

[@bladeblade8443]

I buy my father the Braun Series 9 pro, he love it.

[@Michael-oo4yc]

Ivw always got fantastic results with rotary, which makes wanna try a foil

[@ayokay123]

This question is an easy one for me. Rotary takes off the most in the shortest amount of time, and the newer 7-8 blades rotaries are replacing the 3-5 head versions. The Braun foil will shave more closely, and it's better for getting under the nose, below the lip, and around the next. I use both, rotary first, then Braun series 7. Combined, they're 95% as close as a blade. If I'm going to a really fancy event, I'll use a blade, but that's only once or twice a year. The benefit of electric is that I can shave every day if I want to. Update: I take that back about using the Braun for under the nose and under the lip. The newer Brauns don't have a head lock feature which my old Braun 7 Series does. You need that feature to be able to do a good job in those hard to reach areas.

[@williambaumert7726]

Sure this is very informational but this man is hilarious!

[@danielosdinia4258]

I guess you didn’t read the Philips IQskin brochure. In that manual it reads that after the first two, three shaves the built in sensors provide a map of your face contours and the density of your facial hairs. Thus, from the third shave you should expect a much closer shave than before. I saw that for myself and after a few not so close shaves, now my rotary S5585 shaves the closest I’ve ever seen from an electric shaver. Also, mine has self sharpening technology as well so no need to any other accessories but the tap water.

[@propercushty]

I did use the philips at least 5 or 6 times whilst i had it lad - i had for over a month glad you are enjoying yours though fella

[@OVOChatgpt]

lol @@propercushty

[@TheAShkins]

Have different philips shavers with all the marketed features and they are exactly as explained in this review - not very close and always some hair sticking out, especially if you miss a day of shaving. Will try a braun!

[@raffaelesilletti-rw4uk]

Tried brown and Philips. The rotary not as close as brown but faster and more efficient under the neck or angles. Also longer bird 3/4 days more. Difficult and painful compared to rotary Philips and not.

[@m-at-the-w142]

Best electric razor review I've ever seen 😂

[@isaacmendes1926]

lol funny ass review, i'm buying the foil one for sure

[@mohamedusam4825]

Nice video, you're so funny :D. yeh, as anticipated Braun way better but, I think one blade changed the equation you know, for price to how good and close, and how durable the blade is.

[@theeeryteacher6417]

as someone who is british and just got the braun for my 18th birthday i approve this message

[@MichaelJohnson2]

How is the foil shaver vs the philips one blade in terms of comfort and consistency?

[@aaroncapps5023]

Actually cracked me up this is too funny

[@phil2927]

Cheers Geez!

[@katied4658]

Foil seems better, but what about the rotary ones that have an additional trimmer head or the Braun 5 that also has an optional trimmer head? Till we buy one, what do you suggest we clean the Wahl Trimmer with? Older model, but only one that hasn't died on us, newer models die with the first drop.

[@26CT1994]

Respeck for the proper banter son!

[@billyjohnson2495]

These shavers are awesome, these days it's hard to find a bad one. I understand why all you younger men are buying them.

[@AmonnRa]

I have one question. How close shave I can get with Andis compared to cartridge razor, i know Panasonic Arc 5 is maybe best electric shaver but it's expensive and i can't find it in my country.

[@KrypteiaXi]

Besides the 360° action what is the difference between the Series 6 and the Series 7?

[@pxrposewithnopurpose5801]

Average british content creator and i love it

[@SergioAndres1995]

I have a doubt, it does always turn the light of the replacement on when you finish your shaving? How will I know when you need to replace it? Does it change to red or something?

[@lemonlime5435]

I feel like a spy 🕵️‍♀️ girls need good shaves too Thanks for the insight! Wish there were more product reviews like this

haha cheers for the support unfortunately i can't review it from the perspective of a lady ! This gives me an idea for next time 👀

[@curtriggle8053]

It should be a law this guy narrates all videos on KZbin.

[@jkyoft78]

You can sharpen rotary blades yourself, using some polish and a small mirror, search KZbin for the how-to video. That way, you don't have to buy new blades every 3 months.

[@RaicaBogdan]

nooo, not the holiday ~~~!! 😅

[@oscarlundberg-mtb896]

hilarios, love it

[@JonasStuart]

Went from a Panasonic foil (12 year before it died) to a philips rotary and absolutely hate it! You summed itup perfectly here. I'm going to try a braun series 5. Thank God for Amazon returns!

[@propercushty]

Just made a video on the Braun Series 9 Pro+. Perhaps watch that if you're in the market for a new Braun! Good luck with the purchase pal

[@JonasStuart]

@@propercushtyNo mate, I buy cheap, and invest in property. I'll by the flagship when I retire in a couple of years °¬)

[@dennismatorini5984]

I went from a rotary to a foil (Braun) and I absolutely hate the Braun. I'm switching back to the Phillips rotary when the Braun wears out......hopefully soon.

[@umairzahid9253]

hi foil shaver gives extra clean shave or foil shaver please guide me

[@joshuatellington5339]

I've had the braun series 9 for a while. It does a good job of getting close but my beard grain grows in different directions - which is still causing ingrown hairs. I'll be picking up the s9000 prestige by Phillips tomorrow. 🤞🏾

[@Arcadiez]

Has the s9000 been better? O also got braun s900 and it causes so much razer burn for me and ingrown hairs. Especially on the neck. Huge irritation.

[@joshuatellington5339]

@@Arcadiez it has not been unfortunately. I was wet shaving with the Braun and the Philips. I made the change to using a completely dry foil shaver with talc powder as pre shave and that had much better results for me. I'm using the GoldFX FOIL Foil shaver from babyliss for that

[@someuser4166]

So ive used a braun s300 since like 2017. i dropped it and one of the heads broke so i decided to try a rotary one (a Philips 5000 S5467) but it was complete garbage. It didn't shave very close at all, it gave me razor burn and it wasen't very comfortable. my old braun with its its 6 year old head still did a better job. The rotaty one was better at the neck (since the braun one hardly does anything there) but other than that it was just inferior

[@damienlobb85]

How do you find the Braun compared to Panasonic you showed in regards to shave quality?.

[@propercushty]

braun gives the more consistent shave - panasonic is more varied when you examine spots on your face...and i could use the braun more consistently aswell because it doesn't hurt my face nearly as much as the panny but the panasonic is slightly closer

[@danielosdinia4258]

My only memory with Braun goes back to 15 years ago and as a teen I bought my first ever electric shaver which was a Braun 3 foil. After 4-5 times I used with cuts and bleedings it stopped working one day and found nowhere to repair it!. Don’t know about todays and the new series.
