Best for most people
1. Braun Series 5 52-B1200s
Foil, wet and dry · Precision trimmer · 50 minutes
The best-selling shaver in this list: a wet and dry foil shaver with three flexible blades, a Turbo mode and a precision trimmer attachment. The listing quotes 50 minutes per charge and says it is made in Germany. There is no cleaning station, so you rinse it under the tap.

Best budget rotary
2. Philips Series 3000X X3053
Rotary, wet and dry · 27 self-sharpening · Pop-up trimmer
A rotary shaver with 27 self-sharpening blades and a pop-up trimmer, for wet or dry use. Philips says the blades last two years. It is listed in blue and in black; they are the same shaver.

Best rotary
3. Philips Series 9000 Prestige SP9885
Rotary, wet and dry · 360-degree NanoTech · Power Adapt
Philips's previous flagship, with 360-degree rotating blades, a coating to help it glide and a sensor that adjusts power to your beard. The listing's 'up to 0.00 mm closeness' is a marketing line, not a measurement. It has been replaced by the i9000 Prestige Ultra below, and older flagships tend to be cut harder at Black Friday.

Cheapest
4. Braun Series 3 310s
Foil, wet and dry · 30 minutes · 5 minutes for one shave
A basic three-blade foil shaver for wet or dry use. The listing quotes 30 minutes per charge and a five-minute quick charge for one shave. There is no trimmer, so it suits light stubble rather than a heavy beard.
-
Best foil shaver
5. Braun Series 9 PRO+ 9665cc
Foil, wet and dry · 6-in-1 SmartCare Center · 60 minutes
Braun's top foil shaver, with five shaving elements plus a trimmer, a sensor that reads beard density and a six-in-one SmartCare cleaning centre. The listing quotes 60 minutes per charge. It comes with a two-pin plug, so you need a bathroom shaver socket or an adapter, which is not included.
-
Newest Philips
6. Philips i9000 Prestige Ultra XP9401
Rotary, wet and dry · 5 · SkinIQ Pro
Philips's current flagship, with five shaving modes, compact flexible heads and sensors that give feedback on your pressure and motion. The listing mentions a warranty of up to seven years, so check the conditions on the Philips site. As the newest shaver here, expect it to be cut less than the older models.
-
Best for thick beards
7. Panasonic Series 800 ES-LV97
Foil, wet and dry · 5 · Auto-clean charging stand
A five-blade Panasonic with a fast linear motor, a beard sensor and a head that moves in 16 directions. It comes with an automatic cleaning and charging stand. It sells less than the Braun and Philips models here.
-
Older budget pick
8. Panasonic ES-RF31
Wet and dry · Multi-directional pivot · Foil, 4 blades · Retractable
A four-blade Panasonic with a pivoting head and a pop-up trimmer, for wet or dry use. Despite 'Premium' in the title, it is an old design. A reasonable spare shaver, but the Series 5 and 3000X are newer for similar money.
Nothing matches those filters. Try fewer filters, or search for a brand like "MSI" or "Crucial".
How we rank
Every price shown is Amazon UK's, checked within the last 24 hours, with the time of the check. A big percentage off is not the same as a good price, so we rank on value for the job. Black Friday is Friday 27 November 2026.
Prices are Amazon UK and eBay UK at the time we last checked; they move daily, so confirm on the retailer's page. We earn a small commission if you buy through our links, at no cost to you. It never changes the order. More about how we work.
