Electric Razor Advice.
 

When I get my income tax return,I am thinking about purchasing an electric razor it seems that disposable razors doesn't seem to be as good as they used to be.

I am looking at some wet/dry razors you know electric razors that you can use with gel or cream on your face.

I was just wondering if any of the brethren has a brand they recommend,or a electric razor that has given them good service .

I'm all ears for electric razor advice.

Its cheaper to grow a beard and trim it with scissors.

Electricity might be hard to come by in the future what with a depression n the horizon. Buy a straight razor and a leather strop............:heeheehee

My husband has a Braun. It's a great razor. He said he likes the screen and not the rotary shaver. He said the rotary pulls his beard. He has to shave every day for safety purposes where he works. They have to be able to put on a face mask if there is a chemical leak, so shaving is important.

Nothing agains't beards,but they aren't my preference.

I have heard Braun is a good brand.

My hubby uses a Braun, the last one he bought was to replace his old rotary one. He also uses a reg razor.

I have several razors but just use two of them. I have an electric by Norelco which has three rotary blades and I have a blade razor by Gillette called the Fusion.

I use the blade razor about twice a week because it gives a better shave. I usually use it on Wednesdays and Sundays because of Church. If I'm going to a funeral or something where I have to look good I use the blade razor.

I use the electric razor most other days. It gives me a poor shave but at least I can tell myself I've shaved that day. And the poor shave it gives is better than no shave.

Tweezers will give you that smooth feel every time.

Jeff has a Phillips Norelco like this one, and he really likes it. Plus, you just rinse it clean under the faucet. Very easy to take care of. It took awhile for his skin to adjust, though, from using a regular razor.

P.S.--that is not the same Norelco I bought--his wasn't $250! LOL!!! I think his was around $120, but it still had the pivot/swivel action, and the three rotating blades.

Bought my husband a Braun last year. He likes it. It was over $100 but does a good job; it has a unique cleaning system as part of the package.
btw the cleaning solution is a bit hard to find.....:secretservice


(he has verry sensitive skin and this doesn't irritate)

Re: Electric Razor Advice.
 

Brauns seem to be highly favored.

I never get close shaves with those kind of razors...the three headed monsters....hmmmmm....was this a theology thread?

Re: Electric Razor Advice.
 

I switched to an electric a few years back after a lifetime of using the foam and scrape method. I don't get as close a shave, but "metro" is not in vogue in my neck of the woods anyway.

It took my face a full year to adjust to the electric razor, and I would never go back. I never use a scraper now, and if I do, it has the same effect on my face as a 12 gauge with bird shot.

I use a Remington Titanium Rechargeable that was about $100 or $120, and I buy replacement blades for half price off of eBay. I use the blessed "three in one" type and begin my shaving ritual this way, “In nomine Patris et Filii et Spiritus Sancti.”

I just got a Braun for my birthday last month. I've had a rotary razor and never liked it. I love my Braun. I didn't get the most expensive one because I didn't see much need in a rotary head that tilted. I've tried my dads and didn't see why I couldn't just move my hand a little and get the same results. But I didn't buy the cheapest one either. I think there are three of them and I got the one in the middle.

I too got tired of paying the high cost for the tripple blades that just didn't seem to do that good of a job. And some of the cheaper ones just didn't see to do a good Job. I bought a old fashon razor off ebay Scott that uses the plan old fashon double edge razors that you can get cheep. You have to be carful not to cut yourself, but nothing shaved like these old fashon razors. I love both my razors now.
