Which one should you buy?

For most Australian buyers the Philips Shaver Series 5000 (S5880/20) at around AUD $119 is the right buy. It is a rotary shaver, and rotary is the forgiving choice for the way most people actually shave — its three heads flex and turn 360 degrees to follow the jaw, chin and neck, so it stays comfortable on contoured faces and handles a few days of growth without tugging. SkinIQ tech reads your beard density hundreds of times a second and adjusts power to suit, and full wet-and-dry use lets you shave with gel or in the shower. It is the best all-rounder for the price.

If you shave every day, have straight flat hair, or simply want the closest, sharpest result with crisp necklines, the Braun Series 5-51 B1000s at ~$90 is the value foil pick — a genuine recognised-brand foil shaver that nails the fundamentals for under $100. And for thick or tough beards and the fastest, closest shave of the three, the Panasonic ES-LV67-K841 at ~$249 is the premium foil flagship: five blades, a powerful linear motor, a flexing head and the reassurance of an Australian plug and local warranty.
