Foil shavers offer the closest shave due to its micro-foil which aligns skin without feeling the shift of skin, like when using a rotary shaver. The foil itself acts as a barrier to the skin and when paired with a pre shave oil or powder, it helps to eliminate any discomfort or skin irritation post shave. Portability is one of the main reasons one would buy a travel razor, so look for one that is compact in size and lightweight.

Cordless trimmers offer more freedom of movement but require regular charging. Corded trimmers provide consistent power but limit mobility.

So far I’ve only talked about what makes a foil shaver great and I haven’t mentioned anything about their shortcomings. And that’s because foil shavers tend to handle longer hair worse than rotary shavers, at least in the case of lower-end models. I’ve been using electric shavers exclusively for the past 20 years and have tried pretty much everything in terms of technique and electric shavers. At least in my particular case — coarse facial hair and sensitive skin — I almost always get better results in terms of closeness when using foil shavers. With that out of the way, let’s see how to shave with an electric razor without irritation while still getting an adequately close shave.

It’s not as ubiquitous in the layman’s hand as a Philips or a Braun, but this particular foil shaver has all the credentials to be the best choice if you’re levelling up your shaving game. Remington enters the competition at the low end of the scale, offering quality foil shavers at a budget price. The F2 is a great choice for those pinching pennies, with a few top-end features –like the pop-up trimmer and independently moving foil heads– that elevate it to a worthy contender. It’s also important to treat your stubble with the same care you give to your skin. Regularly washing with a mild facial cleanser is crucial to remove dirt, oils, and dead skin cells that can accumulate. Incorporating exfoliation into your routine once or twice a week can effectively prevent ingrown hairs, ensuring a smoother and more comfortable stubble growth. If that is the case and you still want a foil razor, I think investing in a more advanced Braun shaver would be the right decision (Series 8 or 9 depending on the budget).
