Best men's electric shaver

*Est. $215 Compare Prices

Although it's expensive, reviewers say the Braun Series 7 760cc foil shaver is the best men's electric shaver on the market -- about as close as you'll get to a blade shave. Owners like this shaver's clean-and-charge… base, as well as the power comb that lifts flat hairs for a closer shave. In tests, the Braun Series 7 is also a bit quieter than other models. Braun offers a 30-day money-back trial and two-year warranty.

Best rotary electric shaver

Philips Norelco arcitec 1050X

*Est. $145 Compare Prices

Though foil shavers (including the Braun Series 7 760cc) generally are preferred overall, rotary shavers are good at dealing with longer hairs and are sometimes preferred over foil shavers by men who shave less… frequently. Reviews of the Philips Norelco arcitec line are mainly positive; owners and experts say this is one of the quietest electric shavers on the market, though there are mixed opinions about the closeness of its shave. The 1050X is the most basic shaver in the series, but it delivers the same shaving performance as its more feature-laden -- and more expensive -- line mates.

Wet/dry foil shaver

Panasonic Vortex HydraClean ES8109S

*Est. $110 Compare Prices

Although Braun dry foil shavers receive better reviews overall, experts and owners say the Panasonic ES8109S is your best choice in a wet/dry shaver (one that is used with shaving cream or lotion, as well as in the… shower). Like other mid-range shavers, the Panasonic ES8109S comes with a clean-and-charge base and pop-up trimmer. Panasonic offers a 30-day money-back guarantee, but the warranty is only for one year.

Budget foil electric shaver

Remington MicroScreen MS2-390

*Est. $55 Compare Prices

Reviewers say that, for the money, you can't beat the performance of the Remington MicroScreen MS2-390. Experts say it easily rivals shavers that cost twice as much. Users are pleased with the close, comfortable shave the… MS2-390 provides, though some say it is pretty noisy. This no-frills electric shaver doesn't have a cleaning base, but owners say that it does an excellent job of holding its charge. It has a three-position pop-up trimmer that owners say is a bit too bulky to be of much use. The Remington MicroScreen MS2-390 can be used corded or cordless and comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee and a two-year warranty.

Budget rotary shaver

Philips Norelco 8020X Moisturizing Shaving System

*Est. $80 Compare Prices

The Norelco 8020X Moisturizing Shaving System (also known as the Nivea for Men shaver) is similar to the Norelco arcitec (above), but has a different cutting head with unusual glide rings to help the shaver move smoothly.… Nivea for Men shaving lotion is dispensed through holes in the center of the top two rotary heads (though some reports say it works just fine without the lotion). One negative is that the Norelco 8020X takes eight hours to charge. Still, users generally have good things to say about this shaver, though it's not as trendy as the Norelco arcitec.
