Braun Series 9 PRO+ Electric Shaver (9615s)

What we like
- Very close, smooth shave
- Adapts power to beard density
- Waterproof, wet or dry
- Made in Germany
Watch out for
- Expensive
- Mostly plastic build
- No stubble guards
- Two-pin charger, no USB-C

Philips OneBlade 360 Face Beard Trimmer & Shaver (QP2734/30)
Best for: Stubble and easy shaving
A comfortable all-in-one trimmer and shaver that suits stubble and short beards well. It won’t give a razor-close shave, and blades are an ongoing cost, but this pack includes a spare.
What we like
- Gentle on skin
- Flexible blade reaches tricky areas
- 5-in-1 comb (1–5mm)
- Spare blade included
- Waterproof, easy to rinse
Watch out for
- Not as close as a foil shaver
- Replacement blades are pricey
- No USB-C (USB-A cable)

Remington Barba Beard Trimmer (MB320C)
Best for: Budget beard trimmer
One of the best budget beard trimmers: easy zoom-wheel lengths, low-maintenance ceramic blades and a 3-year guarantee. The 40-minute battery is short, but you can use it plugged in.
What we like
- 9 lengths (1.5–18mm) on a zoom wheel, no combs to swap
- Ceramic, self-oiling blades
- Pop-up detail trimmer
- 3-year guarantee
Watch out for
- Only about 40 minutes per charge
- Doesn’t cut as close as some rivals

Which type do they need?
- Clean-shaven every day: a foil shaver like the Braun Series 9 PRO+ gives the closest electric shave.
- Stubble or short beard, sometimes clean-shaven: a hybrid like the Philips OneBlade 360 trims, edges and shaves, and is very gentle on skin.
- Full beard to keep tidy: a beard trimmer like the Remington Barba with lots of length settings.
What to look for
- Wet and dry: lets them shave in the shower with gel, which is kinder to sensitive skin.
- Length settings: beard trimmers with a zoom wheel are quicker to adjust than swapping combs.
- Running costs: OneBlade blades and shaver heads need replacing over time, so factor that in.
- Charging: check the plug or cable. Some still use a two-pin shaver plug rather than USB-C.
Our picks at a glance
- Best overall shave: Braun Series 9 PRO+. Expert Reviews calls it one of the most advanced shavers around, with a very smooth finish in one or two passes. Pricey, and it only does a clean shave.
- Most versatile: Philips OneBlade 360. TechRadar and T3 praise how gentle and flexible it is; it won’t shave as close as a foil shaver, and blades are an ongoing cost.
- Best value: Remington Barba. Expert Reviews calls it one of the best budget beard trimmers it has tested; the battery is only about 40 minutes.
