Cheap electric razors tug and leave stubble. This shaves as close as a blade.
Why Not Just Buy the Cheap One?
Rotary shavers from Phillips/Norelco under $100 use dull blades that miss hairs and cause irritation. The Series 9 has a unique 5-element head with ultra-thin foil, four cutting elements, and an advanced pivot that follows facial contours. It delivers a razor-close shave without nicks or multiple passes.
The Buy-Once Math
A $50 electric shaver needs replacement blades every 6 months at $30 each. Over 5 years you'll spend $250 on blades alone plus the initial cost – total $300 for mediocre shaves. The Series 9 costs $270, replacement heads last 18 months at $50, total over 5 years is $370 for a perfect shave every single morning.
