The 9 Best Electric Razors for Men in 2024, Tested and Reviewed

Best overall: Braun Series 9 Pro Plus

As Braun's most advanced shaver to date, the Braun Series 9 Pro+ (9599cc) is a considerable upgrade to older Series 9 and Series 9 Pro models. The shaver comes bundled with the SmartCare Center with cleaning solution, a mobile charging PowerCase, a cleaning brush, and for the first time ever, a ProComfort head to prep the face before shaving.

Even with all of the add-ons, the shaver itself is what makes the Braun Series 9 Pro+ such a powerful grooming tool. The cutting head consists of five separate parts — two OptiFoil shavers, a ProLift blade designed to lift hair, a Direct Blade designed to comb the hair in the same direction before cutting, and a skin guard. With 40,000 cutting motions per minute, auto-sensing technology, vibrating sonic technology, and the system provides a smooth and close shave, with minimal work prepping your face beforehand, whether your hair lays flat, stands up, or grows in different directions on different parts of your face. 

To help contour to the shape of your face and neck, each part of the Braun Series 9 Pro+ head moves freely to comfortably contact your skin. You can also use the precision switch to lock the head in place at your desired position. The shaver is completely waterproof, so you can use it for wet or dry shaving.

The Braun Series 9 Pro+ includes an attached trimmer for detailing mustaches and beard lines. It's positioned on the back of the shaver, but extends high enough to see the blade while you're trimming.  As someone who's not clean-shaven, the trimmer gets just as much use as the shaver head because the placement doesn't seem like an afterthought that's blocked by the shaver head. It's easy to use and will save you from having to use a separate grooming tool for trimming. 

The new ProComfort head is another feature that has the potential to replace other grooming tools.  pre-shave attachment that uses the shaver's sonic technology to gently exfoliate and lift beard hair. If you use a separate tool to prepare your beard before shave, this attachment can easily replace it. 

The SmartCare Center isn't new to the Series 9 Pro+, but it's one of the most useful accessories. Not only is it a nice place to dock your shaver when it's not in use, but it also cleans, lubricates, dries, and charges the device.

My favorite upgrade on the Series 9 Pro+ is the mobile charging PowerCase. It's another safe place to store your shaver and automatically charges, extending the battery life to up to 6 weeks — or much longer if you don't shave frequently.
