VGR V-306

Great model for the price

The Chinese rechargeable electric razor with a VGR V-306 rotary head differs from its eminent counterparts in its extremely low price and decent functionality. The model has a water protection class IPX7 and is positioned as a device for dry and wet shaving, which can be easily rinsed under water. The case of the device is made of ABS plastic and polycarbonate, which have high impact strength, as well as resistance to wear and heat. Featuring a classic razor design with anti-slip black back and front inserts, the mirrored blue bezel stands out. It looks stylish and impressive, but not very practical. The mirror-like surface of the plastic is unlikely to last long without scratches, and the inevitable glare will definitely make it difficult to read the readings from the white LED display placed here. The battery level symbol with a numerical percentage, as well as the blade cleaning and control button lock indicators, give you timely tips on what to do.

High battery life

The shaving head with 3 floating blades ensures clean stubble removal, while the retractable trimmer located at the back of the body provides fine-tuning of hairline contours. An 800 mAh Li-Ion battery is responsible for autonomous power supply of the device, which is charged via the USB-A port (5 V/1 A). A full charge takes 1.5 hours, after which the shaver can operate for 90 minutes. As befits a “state employee”, the device received a modest package, including a cleaning brush, a USB charging cable, a protective cap for the shaving block and a user manual. The razor is made in Ningbo, which is a major industrial centre in East China, and the manufacturer provides a 1-year warranty for it.
