superal Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 Can anyone recommend an electric shaver that I could buy online . I do not want an unknown cheap shaver . Years since I used one . The last one was a Philips with 3 cutters but I never got a close shave or anything like a wet razor shave . Is that possible now ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sorry to say that in my opinion, no electric shaver will give you a shave close to a wet razor! I have tried two models of the Philips rotary-head shavers and even the most expensive one brought me out in a rash, so I've converted back to my Braun electric shaver which is altogether the best one for me at the moment. As an aside, you may wish to consider applying a pre-electric talc before you use an electric shaver. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
impulse Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 (edited) I started using Flyco brand electric shavers living in China and that's what I bought in Thailand, from Lazada. I also bought one in the USA from Amazon. I've been very happy with them. They seem to last around 2 years before the rechargeable batteries go hinky and refuse to charge or do something weird like turn themselves on. But 2 years for the low price has been acceptable to me. I've had Philips and Brauns that cost 3-4x as much and crapped out faster. Knowing what I do about China, I suspect they're all made in the same factories anyway. I won't claim that any electric will get as close a shave as a wet razor. I shave in the shower using body soap, shampoo or bar soap-whatever's at hand. I also shave the top of my head, being a cue ball. The Flyco's are fine for day to day. If I'm out to impress a babe or a professional colleague, I finish up with a few swipes of a twin blade disposable razor. Obviously, YMMV. Edit: I stay away from the super cheap models and the 2 head models. Edited March 25 by impulse 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

up2you2 Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 For me if it's possible, half an hour after showering in an air con room, really makes the difference of the bristles standing up, and this is when I achieve the best shaves with my Braun Electric 3000. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
