We love a blade against the skin, but the gadgethead in us can't resist the shiny, humming toys that promise to keep us looking sharp. Braun's rechargeable Pulsonic 9595 ($270, braun.com) provides a great excuse to geek out over stubble removal. Along with its streamlined looks, the Pulsonic can micro-vibrate more than 10,000 times a minute. That motion promises to make your stubble stand up straighter, allowing the razor to cut closer. The Gillette-blade head has an expanded pivoting range, and to keep things running smoothly, the dock cleans, lubricates, dries and charges the unit. It's a fact: Technology hates whiskers.
