Braun MobileShave M-90

Best travel shaver

Pros
  • Compact
  • Inexpensive
  • Twist-open cap protects foil
  • Extendable long-hair trimmer
Cons
  • Not great for facial contours, neck
  • Some prefer a closer shave
  • Foil not durable

Reviewers say they're pleasantly surprised by the closeness of the shave they get from the Braun MobileShave M-90. This compact electric shaver is convenient for travel or for quick touch-ups throughout the day. A few owners say they keep one in a workplace locker or in a vehicle. The MobileShave M-90 runs on two AA batteries, so there's no worry about different voltages or outlets for international travel. Some users also recommend using rechargeable batteries. Most owners say the Braun MobileShave is an excellent value for the price, however some prefer a closer shave. There are also some comments indicating that it's not ideal for shaving facial contours, such as the neck and chin.

The MobileShave features a twist-on cap that protects the foil when not in use and, when twisted open, operates as an extension to the handle to provide an easier grasp. A few users say they use the MobileShave as their regular shaver, but if you're looking for an electric shaver for home use, consider the affordable Panasonic Vortex ES8109S (*Est. $110) , which can be used for both wet and dry shaving.

We found the most reviews of the Braun MobileShave M-90 on Amazon.com and an additional handful of comments from owners posting to Drugstore.com. 3Luxe.com names the MobileShave's immediate predecessor, the Braun 370 PocketGo, as one of the best men's electric shavers.
