As a father juggling work, kids, and everything in between, I don’t have time for a complicated grooming routine. I want tools that are quick, effective, and frustration-free.
That’s why I decided to test three popular head shavers: the Freebird® FlexSeries™ Shaver, Manscaped® Dome Shaver Pro, and Philips® Norelco 2400. Here’s my breakdown of how they stack up in the key areas that matter to me—and why Freebird comes out on top.
Speed and Efficiency… Freebird®
When your toddler is demanding breakfast while your teenager needs help with homework, every minute counts.
The Freebird® FlexSeries™ Shaver, true to its claims, is a speed demon. In less than 90 seconds, I had a smooth head shave that felt 98% as close as a traditional razor. Its flexible blades covered more ground with fewer passes, saving me time and effort.
While effective, the Manscaped® Dome Shaver Pro took closer to 5 minutes to achieve a comparable shave. The lack of flexibility in the blades meant more strokes and more time.
The Philips® Norelco 2400 performed decently but required multiple passes to remove all hair. The process felt slow compared to the other two.
Comfort and Skin-Friendliness… Freebird®
I’ve had my fair share of nicks, cuts, and razor burn. A comfortable, irritation-free shave is non-negotiable.
While the Dome Shaver Pro was decent, I felt some pulling and tugging, especially on thicker patches of hair. It wasn’t uncomfortable, but it didn’t feel smooth.
As for the Norelco 2400, this one struggled with consistency. It left a few small nicks on my scalp when shaving dry, though it worked better with shaving cream.
But, the FlexSeries’s ScalpSafe™ blade design lived up to the hype. I experienced zero irritation, even when shaving dry. This was a game-changer for my sensitive skin.
Ease of Use… Tie
With kids constantly interrupting, a simple, hassle-free setup is a must.
Freebird’s ergonomic design made it easy to maneuver, even for a novice like me. Just one button, no fuss. The Dome Shaver Pro was slightly bulkier, but still user-friendly, and the Norelco 2400 was pretty straightforward but felt outdated compared to the others.
Versatility… Freebird
As a busy dad, I love multi-tasking tools that handle more than one job.
Not only does the FlexSeries™ Shaver deliver a fantastic head shave, but it’s also designed for your face, beard, body, and even groin. Whether I’m trimming my beard or tackling body grooming, this device does it all.
The Manscaped Dome Shaver Pro, while advertised as a head shaver, is also marketed for body grooming. However, it didn’t feel as comfortable or intuitive for anything other than my head.
The Philips Norelco 2400 was strictly a head shaver, and even there, it lacked the flexibility and adaptability I needed for other areas.
Build Quality and Portability… Freebird
Life as a dad means being on the move, whether it’s a family vacation or a quick business trip.
Lightweight and waterproof, the FlexSeries™ Shaver is perfect for shaving in the shower or tossing in my bag. Plus, it feels solid and well-constructed.
Though portable and well-built, the Dome Shaver Pro’s heavier design made it less convenient for travel.
The Norelco 2400 is sturdier than expected but not waterproof. It’s not ideal for shaving in the shower, which I find more efficient.
Price and Warranty… Freebird
For any parent budgeting for diapers, snacks, and endless activities, value matters.
At $39.95, the Freebird® FlexSeries™ Shaver is a fantastic deal for its performance and versatility—not to mention all of the free attachments it comes with. The lifetime warranty and 30-day money-back guarantee provide unmatched peace of mind.
The Norelco 2400, at $44.99, is the second cheapest option, but its performance and lack of attachments doesn’t reflect the higher price point. The Dome Shaver Pro, at $109.99, is more expensive and only has a 90-day warranty.
Final Verdict
While all three shavers have their merits, the Freebird® FlexSeries™ electric shaver wins hands down. It’s faster, more versatile, and offers a razor-smooth, irritation-free shave that fits perfectly into my hectic schedule.
For this busy dad, Freebird® delivers on every promise—and then some. Give it a try and see for yourself!
