The test

Are many blades really better? "Kassensturz" put the 10 best-selling wet shavers to the test and found out: More blades do not automatically shave better. Three models with six blades, four models with five blades, one model with three blades and two disposable razors with three blades were tested.

To summarise, a good wet shaver is characterised by efficiency, i.e. it removes a lot of hair in just a few strokes without damaging the skin. It is also important that the skin is protected to prevent irritation. The durability of the blade is also crucial.

The test criteria

These 4 aspects were used as the basis for the test

  1. Shaving result (60% weighting)
  2. Lifespan (20% weighting)
  3. Handling/comfort (15% weighting)
  4. Storage, cleaning (5% weighting)
