How we chose these
We started with a pool of five Andis electric shavers from our catalog. Because the pool held fewer than twelve, we included every model. We compared each shaver's stated specifications, noting that all are foil and cordless. Only the reSURGE lists a wet/dry specification, and only the Inform has a sensitive-skin label in its name. We did not test any of these units, and we did not rely on user feedback. The prices shown are live and read from the store listing at the time of each read.
What to look for
Foil mechanism and what it means
All five Andis shavers in this list use a foil mechanism, where a thin metallic screen covers the cutting blades. This design is common for facial shaving because it brings the blades close to the skin. Since every pick here is a foil shaver, your choice will come down to additional features rather than foil vs. rotary.
Cordless operation
Each of the five models is cordless, so you are not tied to a wall outlet. None of the seller listings provide a battery runtime, so you will need to consult Andis's product pages if run time is a deciding factor. For cordless operation, any of these will work, but the reSURGE adds the ability to use it with water.
Wet/dry use
For shaving with water, shaving cream, or in the shower, a shaver must support wet/dry use. In this list, only the reSURGE has this specification. The other four models are cordless but do not state water resistance, so they are best used dry.
Sensitive skin considerations
The Inform is the only model here whose name advertises it for sensitive skin. If you often get razor bumps or irritation, the American Academy of Dermatology recommends shaving in the direction of hair growth, using a clean surface, and not pressing too hard. You can apply those tips to any shaver, but the Inform is the one that specifically targets this concern.
Additional features
Beyond the core foil, cordless, and wet/dry specs, there is little else in these entries to differentiate the models. No pick includes a pop-up trimmer, a cleaning station, or a travel case in the product listing. If those features are important to you, you may need to look at the manufacturer's site to see if they are sold with accessories.
Questions
Are all Andis electric shavers in this list foil shavers?
Yes, all five models use a foil mechanism. They are also all cordless. The main functional difference is that the reSURGE has a wet/dry specification, while the others do not.
What does wet/dry mean on a shaver?
A wet/dry shaver is designed to be used with water, shaving cream, or gel. The reSURGE is the only model in this list with a wet/dry specification, so if you want to shave in the shower, it is your only choice among these Andis models.
Which Andis shaver is best if I have sensitive skin?
The Andis Inform is the only model here that has 'sensitive skin' in its product name. It is a cordless foil shaver. If you want to minimize irritation, follow the American Academy of Dermatology's shaving tips: prepare your skin with warm water, shave in the direction of hair growth, and rinse the foil regularly.
How do the TS-1 and TS-2 differ?
The TS-1 and TS-2 share the same cordless foil specifications. The main differences are the model number and the color: the TS-1 is gray and the TS-2 is black. There is no functional difference stated in the product listings.
