Vitek VT-1373

If you decide to change shaving machines, tired of the growing number of blades or just want to buy a second electric shaver for trips, pay attention to the affordable Vitek VT-1373 model.

Like other members of our Top 5, VT-1373 uses the rotary shaving principle. This means that blades with a very small (compared to a conventional machine) cutting edge rotate very quickly inside the head. They are protected from contact with the skin by a mesh, through the holes of which the bristles pass. There are three rotary blades, their location allows you to shave large areas faster, for example, cheeks or neck. The heads are floating, which allows you to better shave uneven areas.

The block of heads can be washed under a stream of warm water, but it is necessary to lubricate the knives with a drop of oil after each water procedure, for example, for clippers or sewing machines. For dry cleaning, a brush is included in the package.

The VT-1373 has a mini trimmer that allows you to trim the line of temples, mustache or beard.

The case is made of plastic, the surface is not textured, but since Vitek VT-1373 is not designed for wet shaving, it is convenient to hold it with dry hands.

Owners of thick fingers can make claims to the design of the power switch: the slider is small, with a short stroke.

The owners noted that the process of charging the internal battery has to be performed quite often, especially if shaving is delayed due to the density and rigidity of the hairline. The manufacturer promises battery life of 10 sessions of three minutes. The charger unit is connected directly to the connector on the razor body; the LED indicator signals that the process is underway, but the time (two hours in normal mode or four after long-term storage) must be controlled by a person.

According to numerous reviews of men, Vitek VT-1373 provides a smooth shave without painful sensations, however, to achieve such a result, it is necessary to monitor the condition of the knives (and change them as they become blunt, while the razor no longer cuts, but strives to pull out the hair) and the battery level.
 
Four shaving heads, dry and wet shaving, night charging, looks great.
 
 
It is difficult to open the shaving head for cleaning, it shaves hard bristles for a very long time.
 

Saturn ST-HC7394

It doesn't matter if you want to shave "dry" or use foam/gel, the Saturn ST-HC7394 razor will cope with the task well. The special shape of its head will allow you to reach any part of the face and neck and get smooth skin without irritation.

ST-HC7394 is the only member of our Top 5 with four blades. They are arranged so that they form a shallow funnel. The developers from Saturn did this for a reason: a person's face is more convex than smooth, respectively, the concave shape of the head should ensure a better fit of the meshes and as a result – a better shave.

The case is waterproof, accordingly, it can not only be washed under running water after shaving, but also shaved in the shower, but it is not worth immersing it in water entirely. The plastic is pleasant to the touch, the razor looks like a product from a higher price category.

Like the other razors presented in this review, the ST-HC7394 runs on battery power. It is lithium-ion, respectively, the "memory effect" should not manifest itself during long-term operation. This razor takes eight hours to charge. How long? Long, but very convenient, because it needs to be connected to the network (via the supplied adapter) at night – in the morning it will be ready to work, while others that require an hour or two cannot be left on charge for a long time, therefore, they require more attention from the owner. The LED indicator indicates that the external power is supplied and the battery is replenishing its energy reserves. The claimed battery life is 90 minutes, i.e. there will definitely be enough charge for a week of thorough shaving.

The owners of ST-HC7394 say that the quality of shaving is high, most do not experience skin irritation even with dry shaving, and the use of foam or gel provides additional pleasure. However, owners of stiff bristles should pay attention to other participants of our Top 5.
 
Fast charging, quiet operation, power-on lock, will remind you of the need to replace the knives.
 
 
The battery charge indicator is uninformative, the trimmer is stored separately.
 

Philips SensoTouch RQ1150

Philips RQ 1150 is a razor for men who love themselves. Its movable head is able to repeat all the curves of the face, and the polished surface of the mesh will reduce friction. A product from one of the leaders of the body care industry will allow you to feel satisfaction from a normal hygienic procedure.

The head of the RQ 1150 is surprising at first, the grids form a convex shape resembling a low pyramid. However, it is worth picking up a razor, touching the head, and you will understand the idea of the developers. The floating design ensures constant pressing of the working areas to the skin, improving the quality of shaving.

Grids also work for the result. If you look closely, you will notice a special design: radial slots and round holes are arranged in four groups. The slits are used to shave off long enough hairs, and the holes are responsible for short bristles.

The razor supports dry and wet shaving, the body is waterproof (due to the Aquatec seal). The upper part of the cleaning head is removed by pressing one button.

The power supply system provides up to 45 minutes of continuous operation after an hour of battery charging. In just a few minutes, it can be recharged for a single shaving session. The end of the normal or fast charging process will be indicated by LED indicators.

The power switch is touch-sensitive. To prevent accidental activation, the razor has a lock mode, which is activated by a long (three seconds) press.

The case is combined – the front part of the handle is glossy colour, the reverse is black, matte, contributing to comfortable retention even with wet hands. The shape is ergonomically adjusted.

Included is a folding stand for storage and charging.

The trimmer is removable, it is installed instead of a shaving head. Perhaps this is not very convenient if there is no locker for storing accessories in the bathroom, but the working area is wide enough, which will allow not only to correct the mustache, but also to update (with the help of someone from the household) the hairline on the back of the head.

Almost all owners positively evaluate the quality of shaving Philips RQ 1150, especially praise wet shaving with foam or gel. It successfully handles even with thick bristles of medium hardness.
The Council. Shaving – dry or wet, with a machine or electric razor – stress for the skin. To avoid irritation and relieve discomfort, use appropriate aftershave skin care products.
 
 
Balanced price/quality/capability ratio, trimmer with adjustable hair length.
 
 
It works only on battery power, the trimmer is stored separately.
 

Remington HyperFlex Verso

It is difficult to find a more masculine product than the Remington XR1390 razor. The brand traces its history back to 1816, initially the company produced guns in the USA. In 1937, the first American Remington Model E electric shaver for dry shaving was introduced (the company was called Remington Rand after a series of mergers and sales). Now the Remington brand belongs to the American holding Spectrum Brands, whose shares are listed on the New York Stock Exchange (SPB index), so there is no reason to call it Chinese, as inattentive consumers believe. Yes, the production is located in China, but no one calls the iPhone a Chinese smartphone.

Floating heads with a significant stroke (the technology is called ActiveContour XL) and knives located at the vertices of the triangle ensure accurate adherence to the shape of the head.

The XR1390 case looks stylish. The shape of the handle is equally well suited for holding with both the right and left hand. The combination of several textures of black and grey plastic appeals to the classics, and a large indicator glowing red that "appears" through the panel during operation or charging emphasizes the high-tech nature of the product.

The razor is powered only by a lithium-ion battery, which has enough charge for about 60 minutes of continuous operation. The remaining time (in minutes) is displayed on the indicator. Fast charging is provided (for one cycle), the full charge lasts about an hour and a half.

The Remington XR1390 trimmer is equipped with a removable comb attachment to adjust the length of the remaining hair (from 2 to 6 mm), which allows not only to trim the contours, but also to cut hair, taking care of short curly beards with one device.

The quality of shaving has earned many owners a high rating, regardless of whether they shave "dry" or use foam / gel. The trimmer was also praised for its versatility and painless hair cutting.
 
The flagship model in the line, a fantastically movable head, the ability to adjust the speed of rotation of knives.
 
 
If you are ready to part with such a sum... you probably have a place to store the trimmer.
 

Philips Series 9000 S9511

When developers are given the task of creating a flagship product, they have to solve the difficult task of improving the good. The S 9511 belongs to the 9000 series, which at Philips is the pinnacle of achievements, and it is immediately felt, both in appearance and in the experience of use.

The design of the case and finishing materials correspond to the price category of the device, it is assembled in the Netherlands.

S 9511 stands out from the ranks of today's Top-5 participants in at least two parameters. Firstly, the design of the head is extremely flexible – the manufacturer speaks of eight degrees of freedom. The stationary knife, which is actually the name of the mesh, has slots of a special shape, resembling the Latin letter V lying on its side. It is thanks to this angle, into which the hair falls, that the purity of the cut is achieved. Small round holes can give a similar result, but they significantly reduce productivity.

Secondly, most owners are enthusiastic about the quality of shaving. When using foam or gel at the third speed, the Philips S 9511 will be able to cope even with three days of stiff bristles. At minimum speeds, even people with sensitive skin calmly shave "dry". Yes, the rotation speed is adjustable (three positions, with memory), and the engine does not slow down when the battery is significantly discharged.

In an hour, the lithium-ion battery is able to accumulate energy for 50 minutes of work, there is also an accelerated (for one shave) mode. The remaining charge level is displayed on a five-segment indicator, which also informs about the end of the charging process.

Included in the delivery is a removable trimmer with a limiter comb that regulates the length of the remaining hair, so there is no need to purchase another device for beard care.

Fans of traveling will be pleased not only with the opportunity to leave the charger at home, but also with a hard case that contributes to the safety of the razor during transportation.
The Council. Even if there is no sewing machine in the house, but there is an electric shaver, buy a bottle of oil for the future to lubricate moving parts. Some manufacturers require lubrication after each wash, others – every six months, but no one denies the need for this procedure.
