Final Touches: Top 5 Professional Shavers

Fans of fast and regular bristle care will definitely like the compact and lightweight Adler AD 2923 shaver. And the presence of a shipping case in the kit allows you to take the razor with you on a business trip or on vacation. The model is made in the rectangular bar format popular for this category of devices with a pleasant black plastic case. On the sides there are anti-slip inserts with embossed embossing, imitating a leather surface. The 2W electric motor is reliably protected from water penetration according to the IPX4 standard, and the manufacturer declares the possibility of both dry and wet shaving. The shaving system with a double mesh head provides a clear and clean cut of bristles of any hardness. After shaving, the razor can be cleaned with a brush included in the kit, or rinsed from the foam under running water.

The device is powered by a built-in battery, which takes about 8 hours to fully charge. After that, the razor can be used without additional recharging for about a week. The maximum continuous operation time on a full charge is 45 minutes, which indicates a small capacity of the built-in battery. Charging is performed via the built-in microUSB port 5V/1A using the supplied cable. Although the electric shaver does not stand out with an abundance of functions, and it does not even have a trimmer, but it does an excellent job with a smooth shave and contour stroke. And minor flaws are unlikely to be able to outbid the main advantage of the model — a very low price.

The compact portable electric shaver Moser 3615-0050 is an affordable and worthy alternative to expensive and "fancy" models, if special functions are not needed, except for dry shaving of short 2 – 3-day bristles. With regular care, the shaver provides a smooth face and maintains a haircut "under zero", and also performs precise accents of the contours of the growing hairline. The machine measures 46x100x20 mm and weighs about 90 g. It has an ergonomic rectangular Soft Touch case in black and is equipped with a single cutting head with a plate knife hidden under the mesh. An electric motor with a power of 3 Watts provides a high-frequency stroke of the cutting edges of the knife blades, cutting off the regrown hairs "at the root". On the front plane of the razor there is a metal insert with the brand name, and just below there is a strip of an LED indicator of the charge level. On the side surface of the device there is a slider switch for turning on the razor, and in the lower end part of the case there is a 2—pin connector for connecting the charging network cable.

Thanks to 2 power options (from the household network or battery), the razor is convenient to use both at home and on a long trip. Included with the device are a spare knife and a razor net, a tin box-case with a beautiful perforation around the perimeter, a velvet travel bag with puffs, a 230 V charging cable, a cleaning brush, instructions and a warranty card. The battery life of the razor, which is only 45 minutes when the battery is fully charged, cannot be called impressive: it will last for a maximum of a week with short daily use. The long recovery time of the NiMH battery capacity (8 hours), due to the low charging current, is a little depressing. And for the correct activation of the battery, which guarantees its long-term operation in the future, it will take as much as 16 hours for the first charge. So for a morning shave, you should not forget to put the device on charge in the evening.

The small-sized Xiaomi So White Mini Electric Shaver stands out from the devices of this class with an original cylindrical shape with a rounded bottom and a very quiet high-speed (5500 rpm) electric motor with a rated power of 2 watts. The shaver Ø 40 mm and 95 mm long is made of white matte plastic and has a light weight of 117 g. The shaving head, the side power button, which also blocks the razor from accidentally turning on in transit (child protection), and the stylish engraving of the "So White" series in silver colour perfectly complement the elegant design of the model. A dot LED indicator of the charge level is barely visible under the power button, and a charging port is located at the bottom end. The razor is powered by a battery consisting of 2 built-in batteries with a total capacity of 700 mAh, providing continuous operation for 90 minutes. The purpose of the complete USB-A/USB-C format cable and the USB-C standard charging port, which do not allow you to quickly charge the battery due to the limitations of the input parameters of 5V/1A, remains unclear. And the stated battery charging time is 8 hours, which does not stand up to any criticism. Apparently, the source of autonomous power in the machine is outdated NiMH cells, and not modern Li-Ion batteries.

The device is designed for dry and wet removal of short hairs, so it cannot be considered a full-fledged replacement for an "adult" razor. The shaving unit has a simple design containing a 3-knife cutting head with self-sharpening stainless steel blades, closed with the thinnest 0.07mm mesh. The cutting block is attached to the output shaft of the motor with a thread, so do not try to remove it in any other way. The coupling is made of plastic parts and does not look very reliable, and the advantage of the model is the increased moisture protection of IPX5 class and the possibility of washing the razor under running water. Summing up the impressions about the model, we can say that, despite the ambiguity, the razor is well worth attention because of the low price tag and the prevailing advantages of the design.
