What Electric Shaver Is Better Braun Or Norelco?
This is a question that I hear a lot. Both Braun and Norelco (now Philips Norelco) make excellent electric shavers. But which one is Better?
I have owned several models of both as well as a Panisonic and a Remington or two. Currently I have a Braun Series 3 340 and even though it’s not an expensive model (around $65) I just Love it.
Let me say right up front that I have a beard and shaving around a beard is probably not something most of you do. A rotary razor because of the large slots tends to cut hair that I don’t want to cut. So a foil shaver is my first choice.
The benefits of a rotary is that it will cut longer hairs that you may have missed the day before, which most foils would not. But the Braun 3 has a sloted blade in between the two foils which will get those missed hairs without getting my beard.
I also feel that a foil just gives a closer more comfortable shave. Another thing about Braun that I love is the charge life. I’ve had mine for about 8 months and I think I’ve only charged it 4 times. Other razors that I’ve owned, including a Norelco Reflex Plus that’s sitting on the shelf in the medicine cabinet, only lasted for about two weeks.
Braun also has a better trimmer in my opinion. It’s on the front so you don’t have to turn the shaver around to use it and it’s also easier to deploy.
Choosing an electric shaver like many things is a highly personal decision that we men have to make. My choice between Braun and Norelco is the Braun all the way. Leave a comment and let me know what you think either way. Happy shaving.
