No. 8 of 10 in our [electric razors ranking](https://vettedten.com/us/household/electric-razors/) · Updated November 2026 · [How we rank](https://vettedten.com/how-we-rank/) **7.8 out of 10** The Freebird FlexSeries is a cordless five-head shaver for a bald scalp, with a flexible handle and a kit of small trimmers. It suits men who shave their head several times a week and want to do it in the shower. Why it's here: - Rotary ScalpSafe blade attachment suits scalp curves - Water-resistant for wet or dry use, including the shower - Charges in about 60 minutes via USB, and runs cordless - Includes a precision clipper, nose trimmer and brushes Keep in mind: - Water-resistant (IPX6), not submersible, so it must be dry before charging - Blade replacement is a recurring cost [Check price on Amazon](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08KSRYGW4) ## Why the Freebird FlexSeries Electric Head scores 7.8 - How happy owners are: 8th of 10 - How many rated it: 1st of 10 - How new it is: 8th of 10 ### Why it sits behind the Braun Series 7 Electric Shaver with SmartCare Center, Stubbler, Trimmer 7185cc The Braun Series 7 Electric Shaver with SmartCare Center, Stubbler, Trimmer 7185cc (7.9) beats the Freebird FlexSeries Electric Head & Body Hair Shaver (7.8): owners are about as happy with both, and it is the newer design. The Freebird FlexSeries Electric Head & Body Hair Shaver has been rated by more owners, but not by enough to close the gap. ## About the Freebird FlexSeries Electric Head The FlexSeries has a palm-held handle and a five-head shaving attachment that flexes to follow the curves of the scalp. The heads are foil, and Freebird calls the blade set ScalpSafe. A single LED shows power and charging. The 600 mAh battery gives about 90 minutes of cordless shaving and recharges in about 60 minutes over USB. The wall adapter is not in the box. Freebird rates the shaver IPX6, which it says is enough for shaving in the shower. It can be used wet or dry, with foam, gel or cream. The kit comes with a precision clipper and 3, 5 and 7 mm guards, a nose and ear trimmer, an exfoliation brush and a silicone scalp scrubber. Freebird says the blades generally last about 50 shaves, depending on how often you shave and how thick your hair is. Cleaning means unscrewing the center blade cap and lifting each head, or rinsing the running shaver under water. ### Key specs - Shaving system: Five-head rotary-style ScalpSafe blade attachment - Battery: 600 mAh, cordless - Run time: About 90 minutes per charge - Charge time: About 60 minutes via USB - Water resistance: IPX6, wet or dry use - Clipper guards: 3, 5 and 7 mm - Blade life: About 50 shaves per blade set, per Freebird - In the box: Precision clipper, nose and ear trimmer, exfoliation brush, scalp scrubber, blade cover ## What owners report about the Freebird FlexSeries Electric Head Independent owner feedback on this exact model is thin, so this is a short picture. Owners who like it say the flexing head follows the scalp well and gives a quick, comfortable head shave, and the palm grip is easy to hold wet or dry. The complaints are consistent. The build is plastic and the accessories are weaker than the shaver itself: the pop-up trimmer barely cuts, the nose and ear trimmer leaves hair behind, and it is poor for the face or body hair. There is no compartment for cut hair, and opening the heads to clean them is fiddlier than on some rivals. Durability reports are mixed. Some owners had blades bind up or the electronics fail within months. Freebird says hair packed in the blade pocket can slow or jam the blades, so regular rinsing matters. ## Who the Freebird FlexSeries Electric Head suits Pick it if you shave your head, want a cordless shaver you can use in the shower, and are happy to buy blade sets every so often. The 90-minute battery covers many shaves between charges. Look elsewhere if you mostly shave your face or body. The Philips Norelco OneBlade 360 Face suits trimming and edging, and the Braun Series 7 suits sensitive facial skin. It is also a poor fit if you want a low-maintenance shaver, since the heads need cleaning after use and the blades need replacing. ## Questions about the Freebird FlexSeries Electric Head ### Can a Freebird FlexSeries shaver be used in the shower?

Too few review sites cover electric razors for their verdicts to lead, so this ranking is led by owners. It ranks products by how happy owners are, holding back any product few owners have rated until more agree. How many rated it and how new it is only settle close calls, and value for money earns its own badge rather than a higher place. We compared 17 models for this guide before settling on these ten. Brands can't pay to be included or to move up. We last checked these picks in October 2026.
