Laifen made a name for itself with high-speed hair dryers that punched well above their price. Now the brand has entered the electric shaver market with two models: the P3 Pro and the T1 Pro. Both are CNC-milled from aerospace-grade aluminum, and both are gunning directly at the Braun S9. After putting the Laifen P3 Pro through a real-world comparison — including a test with someone who actually has a serious beard — the verdict is more interesting than expected.
What Makes the Laifen P3 Pro Stand Out
The P3 Pro is a three-blade foil shaver machined from a single block of aluminum — the same CNC-and-anodize process Apple uses for iPhones. The result feels precise in hand, with a transparent front panel that lets you see the dual motors inside. The foil and its cover both attach magnetically, which makes cleaning fast and satisfying.
Under the hood, each motor runs at 12,000 CPM (cycles per minute), and the two work in tandem so no hair gets skipped. A PID control system adjusts cutting speed in real time to handle thin and dense patches without pulling. The nickel foil is 0.055 mm thick — same as Braun — and uses an arc blade shape that keeps hair in contact with the cutter regardless of the angle you hold it.
P3 Pro vs Braun S9: How They Actually Compare
In side-by-side shaving tests, the Laifen P3 Pro came out ahead in a few key ways. It cut closer in a single pass, caused less skin irritation (noticeably so after a run, when any irritation really shows), and covers more area per stroke than the Braun despite having fewer holes in the foil net. The CPM advantage shows in practice: the shave is quicker and cleaner.
Where the Braun still has an edge: its head flexes in more directions, it includes a pop-out trimmer for longer hair, and the overall form factor feels more traditional if you want a handle to grip. Also worth noting — Braun still ships with a legacy charging port in 2025. The Laifen uses USB-C with fast charge support, which is the right call.
The T1 Pro: A Different Tool for a Different Beard
The T1 Pro looks more like a traditional razor — thin, angled at 15°, designed to feel familiar for people who shave with a blade. Its power button is pressure-sensitive with haptic feedback, like iPhone's 3D Touch. The single blade (at the same 12,000 CPM) makes it ideal for lighter, daily shavers who want precision around the nose and ears.
It comes with three trimmer guards (2 mm, 3 mm, 5 mm) for styling, and its 530 mAh battery gives around 120 minutes of use — more than the P3 Pro's 100 minutes despite being smaller. Both charge via USB-C. If you shave once a day and have a lighter beard, the T1 Pro fits the job perfectly. For thicker, coarser hair, go P3 Pro.
Build Quality and Packaging
Both shavers achieve IPX7 waterproofing (the P3 Pro also claims IPX9 at the sealed charging port), so using them in the shower is fine. The packaging itself is worth a mention: the interior tray is sculpted in the exact shape of the shaver — a detail that makes it genuinely gift-worthy if that matters to you. A leather pouch isn't included but is probably worth picking up given the premium finish.
Who Should Buy the Laifen P3 Pro?
If you've been using a Braun S9 and want something smaller, faster, gentler on skin, and with USB-C, the Laifen P3 Pro is a real upgrade worth considering. The T1 Pro is the pick if you want a razor-like feel or just need daily stubble maintenance. Laifen priced both models competitively for the global market — check their official site for current pricing and accessory bundles. Either way, this is a brand that has earned the right to be taken seriously in the grooming space.
