Best Rotary Shavers for Men of 2026

"I've used high-end and budget electric shavers, but this Norelco delivers a close, comfortable shave and is impressively quiet. The build quality is much better than you'd expect for the price, and I only need to charge it every few weeks. It feels solid, and the on-off switch is thoughtfully placed so I never hit it by accident. For me, the real difference is in the cutters and combs, not flashy features."

"After years with an expensive foil shaver, I picked up the Norelco 2400 for a trip, and it exceeded my expectations. It cuts just as close, is quieter, more comfortable, and easier to maintain than my old model. Honestly, I wish I’d switched sooner—this is a well-made razor at a fraction of the price."

"I use this every day, and the tri-head design gives me a smooth shave without much effort. It's easy to operate, and the blades have held up for years. My only small complaint is the battery doesn’t last as long as I’d like if I forget to charge, but it works perfectly well plugged in and has never let me down."

"After years with my old Philips razor, I decided to upgrade and couldn't be happier. The shave is smooth and painless, battery life is strong, and the device is simple to use. While I wish it came with a wall adapter instead of only USB charging, that's a minor gripe. Highly recommended for anyone wanting a reliable electric shaver."

"I was hesitant to try another electric shaver after bad experiences with other brands, but this one exceeded my expectations. Even with my thick, sensitive beard and neck, I experienced no irritation and got a close shave, both dry and in the shower. For the first time, I'm genuinely satisfied with an electric razor. Excellent choice for tough beards and sensitive skin."

"This was my very first electric shaver, and I'm in my 60s. It arrived in great shape, is easy to clean, and holds a charge for several shaves. I'm still getting used to it, but so far, I'm very pleased and wish I'd switched sooner. A solid purchase for anyone considering an electric option."

"I was really impressed with how easy this razor is to use in the shower and how quickly I can get a decent shave. It's not the absolute closest shave I've ever had, but it's fast and reliable—exactly what I need for my daily routine. Plus, the machine-like feel and sound actually appeal to me, so I recommend it if you're into that vibe."

"As a first-time head shaver, I found this device simple to handle and highly effective. I tried it both wet and dry, and it delivered great results each time. Cleanup was effortless, and I’m genuinely happy with how my head feels after using it. Definitely a product I’d suggest to others!"

"I’m on my third purchase because the shaver is the most comfortable in my hand and gives a solid shave compared to others I've tried. The price is right and I like the performance, though I’ve had a couple stop working after several months. Still, I keep coming back to this model."

"I’ve had thick, tough whiskers for years, and most shavers just don’t cut it—but this one is different. I was pleasantly surprised by how well it shaves, especially when paired with a good gel. Cleaning is a breeze and I expect it to last for years. It handles most areas easily, though under the nose can be tricky. I switched from a Panasonic foil to this Norelco, and I’m glad I did—the value is unbeatable."

"I recently upgraded from my old Norelco after over 15 years, and this new model has seriously impressed me. The shave is much smoother and closer, and it’s much easier to clean thanks to the flip-open head. I also appreciate the USB charging option for travel, and the shaver handles larger areas well. The trimmer and waterproof design are great upgrades. It’s a solid choice if you want a reliable, easy-to-maintain electric shaver."

"After years using foil shavers, I tried the 5400 rotary and it’s honestly a game changer. It’s much smoother on my skin and handles multi-day growth better than my old Arc5. I rarely find stray hairs now, and the shave stays comfortable. For the price, it easily outperforms my previous models. While the trimmer could be a bit better, I’m really happy with this switch."

"I'm really impressed with this razor. It gives a close enough shave, is easy to hold, and handles both shower and dry use with no problem. The machine-like sound is a plus for me—it's got some power! I like that I can swap out the heads to keep things clean. It's not the absolute closest shave ever, but it's fast and gets me out the door, which is what matters most to me. Definitely recommend!"

"I just tried this shaver for the first time, and it made shaving my head super easy—even as a beginner. The battery lasted through a full session, and it worked great both in the shower and for dry touch-ups. Clean-up was quick and simple. I can see myself using this regularly. Highly recommend!"

"This is my third time buying this shaver because it's the most comfortable to hold and gives a great shave compared to others I've tried. The price is right, too. While my previous units had some issues after several months, I'm hoping this one lasts. Either way, I'm sticking with it for now."

"After finally upgrading from my old razor, I'm really impressed with how smoothly and painlessly this shaver cuts. The battery lasts a long time and it's simple to use. My only wish is that it came with an outlet adapter instead of just USB, but that's minor. Overall, I’d definitely recommend it!"

"I've struggled for years to find an electric shaver that works for my thick, full beard and sensitive neck. Most left me irritated, but this one was a huge surprise! I’ve tried it both dry and wet—even in the shower—and it handled my skin and beard exceptionally well, with no irritation. For the first time, I can say this is an excellent choice for tough beards and delicate skin."

"This was my first electric shaver after 60 years of regular shaving, and so far, I’m very happy. I use it dry, and after several shaves, the battery is still full. It’s simple to clean and easy to use. I wish I’d bought one years ago!"

"After years of trying various razors—Gillette, Merkur, Norelco, Panasonic—I finally found a head shaver that truly delivers. The Philips Norelco Head Shaver gives me the closest, smoothest, 'baby-skin' shave I've ever had, and I've stopped using regular razors altogether. It works remarkably well both wet and dry, is easy to clean, and the battery lasts several days on a single charge. I'm so impressed that I've been recommending it to everyone looking for a top-tier head shaver."

"I was skeptical after using other bald shavers that left visible and tactile stubble, but this shaver gets my head almost as smooth as a blade. Paired with Clubman gel, it leaves my scalp extremely smooth with no redness or irritation. Cleaning is simple, and the results are consistently impressive. My only wish is for a USB-C charger, but overall, it's the best shaver I've owned and I highly recommend it."

"Compared to generic head shavers I've tried before, this unit performs on another level—delivering a wickedly close cut quickly and quietly, without any skin irritation. It's easy to handle and highly effective, making it a clear winner for anyone serious about head shaving."

"I've tried quite a few razors over the years for my husband, and this one really stands out for being affordable and effective. It has a good weight, holds a charge well, and delivers a quick, smooth shave. So far, it feels durable, and we believe it'll last us a good while."

"Switching from a safety razor and cream, I found this electric shaver to be convenient and portable, with a long-lasting battery and a pretty quiet performance. While it doesn't shave quite as close as a blade and needs a little persistence for a really smooth finish, the face feels massaged and the cleaning system is easy to use."

"I was genuinely surprised by how quiet and efficient this shaver is. Having used a beard trimmer on my scalp for years, this product made the whole process much easier and more thorough, leaving no stray hairs. For the price, I couldn't be happier with its performance."

"After years of shaving my own head with clippers and dealing with ingrown bumps and endless cleanup, switching to this shaver was a relief. Shaving is now quick, painless, and doesn’t irritate my skin or cause bleeding, even on sensitive areas. The device leaves no mess since it collects the hair—cleanup is a breeze. It gives me a close shave just like at the barbershop, and I highly recommend it, especially for anyone with bump issues."

"I rarely get impressed by products, but this one stands out. The battery lasts for months, it’s super easy to clean, and I can even use it in the shower. Even after a year, it’s performing perfectly. The stubble it leaves is minimal, and overall, it’s made my shaving routine effortless. When this one stops working, I’ll definitely buy another."

"After trying other brands and dealing with unreliable products, I gave this Remington shaver a shot. The price is better, and it leaves my scalp feeling smooth without hair clippings all over the house. I love that it’s easy to maintain and that I haven’t had any issues with replacement blades. Highly recommend it for anyone looking for a cleaner and more convenient head shave."

"I've used Norelco razors for decades and am glad to see the quality and improvements in the modern models, especially with the longer handle and upgraded floating heads. After getting used to it, the shave is thorough and works well both wet and dry. The cleaning pod is a handy addition and leaves a pleasant scent, and although manual cleaning is a bit more involved now, it's still manageable. The app adds a techy touch, monitoring my shaves, though I'm still learning all its features. Overall, this razor effectively cuts stubble and is worth recommending."

"I bought the Philips Norelco 7800 as a gift for a young adult, and it was a great choice. The razor is simple to use right out of the box and produces a smooth, irritation-free shave. It's gentle for beginners but powerful enough for a professional look. At the sale price, it was an even better deal. A perfect introduction for anyone starting a grooming routine."

"For the price, I was hoping for a closer shave, but the results are consistently good, if not the smoothest. The app is a fun addition with features like AR beard previews and guided shaves, though these could be more helpful. The included cleaning pod and charging stand are excellent accessories—I never realized how much I'd appreciate them. All in all, it's a solid razor, especially for those interested in app-enabled features."
