When it’s time to close the deal, a close shave counts. These four shavers made the cut at GO’s office.

1. REMINGTON 
R6150HXLP 360ºPivot & Flex
 “I’ve had closer shaves than this, but this model’s long battery life made up for it. Leave the cord at home when you hit the road — you’ve got a full hour of shave time.” –GOAssociate Art Director Jeff Quinn
$160, www.remingtonproducts.com  

2. PHILIPS NORELCO
1280X/42 SensoTouch 3D
 “This sleek shaver uses individually pivoting heads to work into tight spaces for a solid, clean shave. Its hassle-free (no jet washers here) cleanup impressed me, too. All said, a great option for any man with a 3-D face.” –GO Executive Editor Peter Koch
$350, usa.philips.com  

3. BRAUN 
Series 7 790cc-4 
“With variable speed settings — gentle, normal and intensive — this shaver handily mows sensitive jawline and neck areas sans irritation. And the Clean & Renew System means it’s ready for another go at the touch of a button.” –GO Editor-in-Chief Orion Ray-Jones
$270, www.braun.com  

4. PANASONIC 
ES-LV81-K 
“It gave me the best shave I’ve ever experienced — smooth and close with no irritation. The wet or dry option is handy for shower shavers. Bottom line: If you’re willing to pay the price, you’ll get a superior shave.” –GO Art Director Tony Judge
