Best for speed

Panasonic Arc 5

8.9A standout in the upper half.

Panasonic's Arc 5 uses a fast linear motor and five blades for quick, close shaves that handle dense beards with ease. The shave can feel slightly more aggressive than Braun for sensitive skin, but for speed and power it is superb.

Pros
  • Very fast, powerful motor
  • Close five-blade shave
  • Wet and dry

Best hybrid trim/shave

Philips OneBlade Pro

8.3Solid, if outshone by pricier rivals.

The Philips OneBlade Pro is a clever hybrid that trims, edges and shaves, ideal for stubble looks and beard styling rather than a baby-smooth finish. It won't replace a full shaver for closeness, but for versatile facial-hair styling it is brilliant value.

Pros
  • Trims, edges and shaves
  • Great for stubble styles
  • Wet and dry
Cons
