Shaver Battle: Philips Norelco 9800 vs Panasonic ARC 5 

Either the Philips Norelco S9000 Prestige or the Braun Series 9 Pro Both are excellent

Thank you very much

That is a great question. I just got the 3900 (2 days ago) and have not even opened it yet. I have used the 3800 occasionally over the past 3 years. The 9800 gets a significantly closer shave than the 3800. Plus, the 9800 has more power and many more cutting actions per minute. That means quicker shaving with less passes over your face; this reduces shave irritation. So, there really are differences in the shavers as you spend more money. You get a closer shave and less irritation. Right now, I think the Braun Series 9 Pro (around $300) is above all the rest, as is the price, but it really is noticeably better than the others. However, Philips Norelco has a new S9000 Prestige which looks promising. Thanks for the great question and the follow. I maybe should make a video about this topic.
