Thirteen pieces or nineteen
Shower-proof and shorter, or finer and more attachments?
The two most complete all-in-one kits on this site, at $165 for the Braun and $125 for the Philips when we recorded prices. They diverge on where the range starts, on shower use and on what each maker publishes: Braun gives its runtime and water rating, Philips the detail of its precision comb.

A tick marks the better answer on that line only. Counting ticks does not decide the page — the two verdicts below do, because these products answer different questions.
Take the Braun if you groom in the shower. It is the only one of the two with a published water rating and a runtime, it reaches 0.1 mm (0.004 in) — effectively bare skin — and SkinGuard is aimed at exactly the areas an all-in-one is bought for.
Take the Philips for the precision comb. Eleven settings in 0.2 mm steps between 1 and 3 mm (0.12 in) is the finest step published on this site (the Braun BT9545 moves in 0.25 mm), in the exact band where a stubble is decided, and the blade never needs oiling.
More than usual. The Philips set covers beard, head hair, nose and ear, body and detailing, which is five distinct jobs. But its listing names six items and then writes "and more", so the full contents are not on the page.
Braun states 100% waterproof for the AIO7565. Philips publishes no water rating for the MG7962. That field is empty on our page rather than assumed, and the manual for the unit is the authority.
