BRAUN Pro Beard Trimmer 9 VS Philips (Oneblade, 7000, BG 7025) 

That's great! I thought I read the manual carefully and didn't realize it had that function, but then again, I read it in Danish, a language that isn't my native language, so I might have missed it because of that. I will go home now and try this out; this trimmer is becoming more and more of a favorite of mine. Thank you so much for the help!

@@Philip.315 glad to hear this! I didn't actually read the manual but when you mentioned it I just tried it and holding down the button seems to do it, so it was more of a guess 😅

@@Ahmad-rc6vu Haha, unfortunately, I'm a manual person and don't experiment much, except with IKEA furniture. Anyway, thanks for the tip, and I hope you'll be satisfied with the trimmer. Have a great day!

Thank you for the compliment and thanks for the tip. I'll see if I can get hold of the Panasonic model for a good price. I have a golden rule that I don't buy anything unless there's a discount. The model looks interesting in terms of design and accessories. I'll look into it. Have a great day! /Philip

Thank you so mutch! I will do my best to give you an answer. When it comes to which one is best, I think it's a personal question with that kind of comparison. I believe we all have different circumstances, from face shape to different types of beards, etc. I think both are equally good for getting a smooth edge, but for me, I find Braun works well in that aspect. Also, Braun has this auto-sense feature which might make it more efficient, and their specially designed counter blade for edge trimming might give a slightly sharper line than Philips. I also find Braun more ergonomic to work with. But ultimately, the end result is probably similar. I think the tapered attachments are okay on the beard, but even better around the ears/sides and neck. I've found a way to improve it a bit by switching left and right attachments and trimming from different angles, which works better. It's just important to be mindful of which direction you're holding the trimmer so you don't end up with the fade in the wrong direction. As for your question about whether to upgrade or not, I find it hard to answer. It's always exciting to try out new things, but at the same time, I think it's a shame to replace your old models if they're working fine. My policy is to only buy if there's a discount, otherwise, it can become an expensive hobby. I hope I made you a little wiser and not more confused. Feel free to reach out if you have any more questions. Take care and have a great day!

Stort tack! Det är en djungel där ute med olika "trimmers", men jag har kommit på mig själv att jag har använt Braunen mer än min Philips modeler. Jag uppskattar "Faiding garden" väldigt mycket, fungerar väldigt bra runt nacken och öronen och helt ok på kinderna. Känns som man kan förlänga nyklipp looken efter man har varit hos frisören. Lycka till och tack för din feedback! /Philip

Hello Richard! Thank you for the question. It entirely depends on what you value most. Is it price, accessories, quality, or innovative solutions? The Braun 5 lacks the locking button and has poorer battery life compared to the Series 9, and there's also a difference in the accessories. I've heard from others that you should get the same accessories between the 9 and the other models, and it's only the Series 9 where you get "pro" blades that provide a better edge cut. Unfortunately, I didn't manage to get any parts that the 5 model has, like the mini foil. I'm not sure if they don't offer that combination/package here in Sweden while Braun does it in other places? The Philips 7000 is a good value for money but may provide a slightly less pleasant experience when it comes to changing parts or ergonomic design. However, you get a good result, and there are plenty of options available. Currently, I mostly use the Braun Series 9 in combination with the Philips OneBlade Pro when I don't have time to shave properly before work. Braun has some things that are so simple yet so effective that the experience, in my opinion, is a bit more enjoyable than with the Philips 7000. I like the fade guards; they provide more than a satisfactory result. I've started to notice the Autosense feature now that I've been using it for a while; it's very unique to have a trimmer that adapts to your needs. Lastly, I find the design pleasant to use. So, my question to you is: what is important to you? Feel free to reach out if you have any further questions. /Philip

@@Philip.315 Hi Philip! Thank you for the speedy response! :) I would say price isn't an issue as long as it is a razor of good quality and which will last me for a couple years. Ideally I'd like to get a razor that will be good for trimming my short beard and also good for body shaving as well (especially near sensitive areas). Would you say that the Braun Series 9 is good for body shaving as well? Can I get a relatively close body shave of 1-2mm? Do you think it will cause any nicking in the sensitive areas with their guard? Or do you think the Philips would be the way to go (or perhaps another razor if you have any suggestions that can do both well)? Thank you so much again! I really appreciate it! :)

Hi there! Thank you for the question. I'm not sure if it was clear in the video, but with this edition of the Beard Trimmer 9 BT9440, it didn't quite meet my expectations , the min foil was not included, You get that feuture to the cheaper models, But you will not get the features as the locking button for the length adjustment wheel, longer battery life or the pro cutting edge parts, that actualy where pretty good. I think I got caught up on the word "Pro" and didn't research properly, and was thinking that you'd get everything with this model. So answer to your question is: No, I haven't tried it. However, I will be recording a session today on the Braun Series X to see if it's better than the Philips OneBlade Pro. Feel free to reach out if you have any further questions. Have a great day! /Philip

@@Philip.315 thats weird because on the braun website it says it comes with a foil shaver attatchment for the 9 series like the one you have

Thank you! Glad you liked it. I will include some links in the description for the models I was mentioning, but when it comes to campaigns, I found it meaningless because they were on a Swedish webpage. Philips has campaigns on their website from time to time. So, I think it's worth double-checking their website to see if there are any differences. Good luck and thank you for your feedback!

@Eber_perez I put some links in the discription on the product ive been talking about. Have a great day!

Thank you so much I will check in their website and see any other offers they might be having rn

Hi there, I would say the Braun trimmer. You can choose distance from 0.5 mm up 20 mm. The Philips model you can choose a guard down to 1mm up to 10 mm. If you wont a closer cut the Philip model has a part that has a razer effect, but i wasent that impressed of that finish, so I rather use my old one blade razer instead. What are you looking for? /Philip

@@Philip.315 Isn't the contour blade 3:58 cuts sharpest out of all blades and even when you compare it with Philips including philips one blade?

@@raviallang Hi raviallang! My perception is that too, but the part you refer to in the video, I meant that the trimmer has smaller "teeth," and in that way, you get a straighter line than the original trimmer part with longer distance between yhe "teeth". For my part, I think I need to use both a beard trimmer and shave to get that barber look. I found an interesting link that I'll read through later regarding sharp razor blades. Have a great day and thanks for the feedback/Philip. [sharpologist.com/the-science-of-blade-sharpness/](sharpologist.com/the-science-of-blade-sharpness/)
