"Apparently without the / the URL is invalid however browsers are able to
cope and redirect . "
That is so so so wrong! The redirect will be triggered by the server hosting the requested page behind the URL. So not having a trailing / at the end of your links would mean double requests for your server and therefore, lower performance with the same resources.

Apparently without the / the URL is invalid,
browsers are able to cope and redirect. This is what I was advised. Google will count both url's separate pages when
it comes to link juice.

If I start URL with http:// then at the end I always write /: www.google.com
In case I start URL with www., there is no / at the end: Www.google.com.
