Gruttz – 7 in 1 Ladyshaver PRO

Pro's


  • No irritation thanks to skin-friendly blades

  • Sleek and compact design

  • Waterproof – convenient for use in the shower

  • Includes travel case and multiple attachments

And that in the shower too, which makes it extra user-friendly. The Gruttz is super handy if you travel a lot and want one device for everything. You notice that it feels a little less luxurious and powerful than the Shafely, but for this price range it is definitely a solid choice.

Philips 6000 series BRL146/00

Pro's


  • Ergonomic handle – fits comfortably in the hand

  • Skin-friendly blades and soft glide

  • Clear transparency

  • Well-known and reliable brand

Con's


  • Slightly less powerful for thicker hair growth

  • Takes a little longer to become completely smooth

  • Battery needs to be charged more often

This lady shaver feels familiar right away: the ergonomic handle fits comfortably in the hand and the shaving movement is smooth. With a special trimming comb for the bikini line and multiple attachments, it is a versatile device for daily use.

You can tell that Philips has thought carefully about ease of use and skin care. But in terms of luxury, design and battery life it lags behind the top 2.

The Philips BRL146/00 is a solid lady shaver with many handy accessories and a pleasant shaving experience. Perfect for those who value comfort and brand reliability, but less suitable if you are looking for a luxurious, powerful all-rounder.

You do have to compromise on luxury: no extensive accessories, and you have to replace the batteries regularly. But for this price range it is definitely a solid choice.

Smart-Tech Ladyshave 5 in 1

Pro's


  • 5 attachments for shaving, trimming, nose and ear hair, eyebrows and facial hair

  • Can be rinsed under the tap

  • Complete and versatile – ideal for the entire body and face

Con's


  • Not as luxurious as more expensive models

  • Not suitable for intensive use on thicker hair.

While the 5 attachments make it versatile, the quality of the shaving and trimming is not always consistent. The additional attachments for nose, ear and eyebrow hair can be useful, but they feel a bit unwieldy and less efficient to use. Furthermore, the device is not as powerful as more expensive alternatives, making it less suitable for thicker hair types or long-term use.


The design also feels a little less premium and the finish of the attachments is not as sturdy as we would like. You do get a lot for your money, but some details leave something to be desired.

Why our jury chose Shafely as number 1

  • Best all-round Shaver

    The Shafely Ladyshaver has proven to be the best choice due to its combination of user-friendliness, quality and performance. This device not only delivers a super smooth result without irritation, but is also designed to perfectly match the needs of women who do not want to compromise on comfort and convenience.

  • Price-quality ratio

    In terms of value for money, the Shafely offers more than the other models. The Philips SatinShave Essential (🎖️ #4) is similarly priced, but you get a lot less functionality and comfort for your money. The Gruttz 7-in-1 Ladyshaver PRO (🥈 #2) offers a few extra attachments, but the Shafely outperforms it with a closer shave and less chance of irritation. While the Gruttz is more versatile, it lacks the refinement and skin-friendly technology that the Shafely offers.


    The Philips 6000 series BRL146/00 (🥉 #3) offers a reliable experience, but the Shafely feels like a more advanced device with a long-lasting battery and better skin care technology for a similar price. So, the Shafely offers a better value for women looking for a premium shaving experience without the high price of top-of-the-line models.

  • Ease of use

    In terms of ease of use, the Shafely Ladyshaver is the winner. The ergonomic design makes it easy to use the shaver at any angle without discomfort. The Philips SatinShave Essential (🎖️ #4) is small and light, but it lacks the precision and power of the Shafely, making it less suitable for regular use. The Gruttz 7-in-1 Ladyshaver PRO (🥈 #2) does offer a lot of attachments, but it can be a hassle to switch between attachments, and the Shafely offers a smoother experience without the hassle.

  • Sustainability

    In terms of durability, the Shafely Ladyshaver comes out as the most reliable choice in the test. The Philips models, such as the Philips SatinShave Essential (🎖️ #4) and the Philips 6000 series (🥉 #3), can perform well, but they lack the high-quality finish and longevity of the Shafely. The Gruttz 7-in-1 (🥈 #2) is multifunctional, but the plastic attachments feel less sturdy than the durable and well-built Shafely.

  • Transparency

    Shafely excels in transparency, which is in contrast to some other brands that make vague promises about the performance of their products. The Gruttz 7-in-1 Ladyshaver PRO (🥈 #2) for example, offers a lot of attachments, but does not always clearly show how well they work in practice, which makes the experience less reliable. The Philips models offer reliable performance, but the Shafely really shines through with its consistent, irritation-free results and clear communication about the product.
