I'm a man who until recently was bearded, and have decided to start shaving regularly (in part to help with my trich). I've had a selection of electric shavers over the years and none of them quite hit the mark, so I was wondering if anyone can help me find one which suits my needs without me having to keep buying them to find the best through trial and error.

I have very flat and sometimes curly hairs, so I need one that lifts the hairs up as it goes which is where I've found the rotating razors to be better than the side-to-side type.

Here are the ones I've tried so far:

Remington dual rotor travel shaver

What I like about it:

• Battery powered and portable
• Gets a nice close shave and leaves a smooth finish, which is what I want

Where it falls short:

• Needs a traditional 240V shaver socket or EU adapter to recharge
• Charge level isn't known and neither is its run time, so I constantly recharge it
• The motor is weak and it's time consuming to use

Silvercrest triple rotor travel shaver

What I like about it:

• Super long battery life (more than 2 hours runtime)
• USB-C rechargeable
• Three rotors with more surface area reduces the time to do the job

What I don't like about it:

• The shave isn't close enough for me, it leaves a rough finish rather than smooth skin and needs more passes than the Remington does
• The motor could be stronger

So really, I'm looking for something that fits the best of both worlds, and wondered if there's anyone out there who has faced the same dilemma and found a superior product which ticks all the boxes. Ideally without breaking the bank, too.

I once had a Braun straight shaver (side to side type thing) and it just didn't lift any flat-lying hairs away from the skin to cut so just didn't work for me.

Your suggestions are much appreciated!
