Remington R4 Style Series Rotary Shaver vs Panasonic Multishape Men's Grooming Kit

The Remington R4 is a dedicated rotary face shaver that also handles chest and back, with a pop-up trimmer and a showerproof body. The Panasonic Multishape is a modular trimmer kit: a beard, hair and body trimmer with four combs and swappable heads for nose and other jobs. Buy the Remington if close face shaving is the main job. Buy the Panasonic if you want one tool for beard length, hair and body. Owners rate the Panasonic higher, but on far fewer ratings.

• Choose the Remington R4 if you mainly want a smooth rotary face shave, shave wet or dry, and want a trimmer built in for sideburns and edges.
• Choose the Panasonic Multishape if you keep a beard or stubble at set lengths and want one cordless tool for beard, hair, body and nose.
