Electirc Razors

[Holden]

Oh thats DEFINTELY your problem. Those foils have to be engineering perfectly with high quality surgical grade stainless. I once had a micro tear in my panisonic wet/dry and i couldnt for the life of me figure out why my face was red and burning after everyshave, there was a micro hole in the foil that was giving me thousands of mini cuts as i dragged it along my face.

Pick up a quality electric and you will feel differently about it.

The electric razor has been my sworn enemy all these years, but now I'll plan on giving it (a far better one) another try.

  braun is the best! unless you like that 3 rotary head thing.

I depends on what type of hair you have? If you have thin, straight hair, most electric razors will work.
I have thick curly hair and electric razors don't shave close enough and cause only irritation.
I purchased a top of the line braun(at that time) similar to what is pictured earlier, with no luck for my face.

I have a thick beard and so did  my did. Dad would shave in the morning and need another by afternoon.  We both used Norelco. They work well.

I bought a Braun once & chucked it after i got the Norelco. The Norelco works pretty good if I use it at least every other day. After that I have to use a razor.

I have this one got it for Christmas. It works fine for me with a regular razor I would only have the shave every two or three days. With this its pretty much every day, but only takes maybe 5 minutes.

Whatever electric you go with, give it at least a week before you decide to return it or now.  I had a Remington once (I'll get into that in a second) that I almost took back after the first time I used it, but your face really has to get accustomed to whatever you use before the irritation goes away.  Shave 3+ times, then think about returning it. 

Back to the Remington.  It was some model with the three parallel tubular foils (not the three round ones) and it did an OK job, but I never got it to the point where it would equal a tradtional in closeness.  My other beef was the battery life, which after a year was down to around 45 seconds.  It would run just fine for 40, then fade off and die in about 5 seconds.  I'm back on the Gillette bandwagon so I guess I don't have any positive electric stories for ya, but I can recommend you stay away from the Remington.  You get what you pay for.

Thanks all good info

i love my braun series 7.  i've had two brauns before it and they all ruled.  the newest one is a definite improvement. 

you HAVE to get one that does the self-cleaning.  the antimicrobial cleaning fluid really helps with eliminating irritation and redness, at least for me it's a requirement.

I'm going to pick up a Braun this week. 

Perfect timing too since Gillette isn't making Sensor Excel blades anymore (or every store is just out of them right now?)

I was complaining about the prices going up on those for a 5 pack (over $10).  D*mn!!  The other blades are all at least $13/5 pack!!

Before I get a Braun though..I've heard that the Panasonic Nano is worth looking at as well.  Any input??

No more sensor excel?

Damn when I finally get rid of this electric that is what I am going back to

Yeah, they have the set (razor and free blade included) but I haven't seen the refills at all.  I guess everyone wants 3 and 4 blades.

I think the ones I use have 5. Oh that is the fusion.

I am using Braun 8595 for several years now (1173 shaves - counter does not lie  ) and it is great.
I have never changed blades or foil and it is still sharp.
Maybe if you have thick and hard hair it will be a problem but with regular

I just got a 10 pack yesterday. I hope they're not discontinuing them.
