I feature the Braun Series 9 Pro+ shaver against the Philips Norelco Series 9000 Prestige Space Grade shaver in a shaver battle. These are the top 2 shavers available from the top shaver brands. Which one is better?
The Braun Series 9 Pro+ is the slight winner. It left me with a closer shave and a tiny bit less irritation.
The Differences
The two shavers definitely have some differences. In fact, they have almost completely different designs.
- The Braun has a built-in trimmer while the Philips Norelco has a trimmer attachment
- Braun is a foil shaver, and Philips Norelco is a rotary shaver.
- The Philips Norelco has adjustable blade speeds and the Braun does not have adjustable speeds
The Shaver Heads
The heads of the shavers are quite different. The Braun on the left has 5 cutting surfaces.
- 2 foil shavers
- 1 gold-colored trimmer for longer hairs
- 1 silver-colored trimmer for tough hairs
- 1 thin silver skin guard
The Philips Norelco has 3 cutting surfaces. It has 3 rotary blades with inner and outer spinning blades.
The Similarities
- Both shavers are excellent
- Both provide a shave as close or closer than a blade
- Both leave you with minimal to no irritation
- Both are Elite Shavers
The Winner
Choosing a winner was difficult. I had to wait until the next day to determine a winner. Both felt equally close right after the shave. Thus, I had to wait for the next day to compare and the Philips Norelco side felt like the hair was a slight bit longer. For that reason, I declared the Braun Series 9 Pro+ as the winner.
Conclusion
Overall, I do not think you can go wrong with either shaver. I gave the narrow victory to the Braun. For more, you can see my full review of the Braun Series 9 Pro+ or the Philips Norelco Series 9000 Prestige Space Grade.
Braun Series 9 Pro+
This is one of the best shavers, if not the best shaver. The Pro+ has an upgraded built-in trimmer on the back.
If you have the budget, you cannot go wrong with the Braun Series 9 Pro+.
