Electric shavers

Wave goodbye to the irritation of a wet shave with these hi-tech handhelds that can buzz off your stubble in a fraction of the time

Panasonic Series 900+

What's the story?

The Series 900+ is unique in that it packs a whopping six blades over the standard three or four. But why? Well, it's not just to show off: two lift blades pull hair up, two thick stubble blades chop it off, and two finish blades smooth things over. This kooky configuration is claimed to chomp through 80% of hairs in just one pass, meaning the shaver can tackle longer, more dense stubble.

Is it any good?
