5 popular electric shavers

Panasonic ES-RT33

Relatively inexpensive mesh model with 3 shaving heads. It is equipped with a trimmer, but netizens note that it is used rather for trimming non-rigid stubble or temples. As for the overall quality of shaving, positive and negative reviews are also possible on the network.

The manufacturer provides for the possibility of wet shaving using foam, gel and other accessories. Users note that this causes the shaving head to clog quickly, resulting in the need for cleaning. Panasonic ES-RT33 handles well with medium-hard bristles, while hard hairs that grow in all directions sometimes skip. Because of this, “islands” may remain on the neck, which will need to be re-passed. But this is relevant, again, rather for hard bristles.

The razor runs only on battery power, the battery lasts for 45 minutes. On the other hand, it only takes 1 hour to fully charge (relatively a little, as for such a price). Users also note that in 5 minutes the model can be charged enough for 1 shave, but the instructions for such a function are silent. Another point: from the small capacity of the battery, we can conclude that it will live less than a year and a half (depending on the frequency of use).

The razor runs at the same speed, regardless of the charge level batteries. Discharging the device does not lose the quality of shaving. This is definitely a plus. Especially if you use emergency charging.

Thanks to the rubberized case, it should lie comfortably in your hand, not slip or fall out. But what the manufacturer missed was to include a case in the package. The device is not very convenient to store.

Summary: not the best solution for hard bristles, mediocre trimmer, not mains powered, small battery. In general, the model can be called a good solution in the low-cost category.

Braun Series 3 340s

Braun razors have been on the market for a long time, and the 340-4 is also quite decent. Whatever one may say, German quality in combination with a floating head take their toll.

Let's start with the main thing — the quality of shaving. The model is designed for both dry and wet shaving. In the first case, some users experience skin irritations, which they report in reviews, but this, firstly, is a purely individual phenomenon, and secondly, it is temporary. With two shaving heads and an integrated trimmer, the device shaves both long and short hairs well. But it still shows itself best with daily use.

Wet shaving gives a better result, close to machine, but without cuts and irritation. This is what many users call the main advantage of the model . But if you are just switching from machines to an electric razor, then in the first weeks of irritation, it is likely that there will still be. The manufacturer claims that you can shave even in the shower, but for some reason the kit does not include plugs for a power cord connector.

Another advantage is long battery life (about 45 minutes). This is despite the fact that the razor only takes 30 minutes to charge. It comes with a quick charge feature that will recharge enough for one shave in just a few minutes. Here, however, lies the drawback of the Braun 340-4: you cannot charge the device and shave at the same time, that is, the model does not work directly from the network.

It is also noted that the neck is a problem area for a razor. But in fairness it should be noted that almost all electric shavers have difficulties here. The Braun 340-4 allows you to shave your neck clean as well, but it may take some skill and a few minutes more.

Summary: a good option for wet shaving or everyday use, does not work from the network, decent quality for little money.
