large_x7 Posted January 12, 2008 Report Share Posted January 12, 2008 Hey does anybody use an electric razor? Mine broke and I need to get a new one. I had about a 10 year old Braun, but I have heard good things about the Norelco razors, too. I usually shave with a Gillette razor and just keep an electric around for emergencies (like when I run out of blades), so I don't want to spend too much money.

dragknee66 Posted January 12, 2008 Report Share Posted January 12, 2008 Ide be willing to spend any amount on an electronic razor that shaved as good as a blade. Anyone know of one that REALLY works? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRocket1647545505 Posted January 12, 2008 Report Share Posted January 12, 2008 I can't use electrics. 1. they barely cut the hair, and 2. all the really do is irritate the hell outta my face. Hate'em. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragknee66 Posted January 12, 2008 Report Share Posted January 12, 2008 I guess they would be good for dudes with really hairy faces that would require 2 shavings a day to be clean cut? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTQ B4U Posted January 12, 2008 Report Share Posted January 12, 2008 I use a Braun and it works great. The kind that cleans itself, etc.....I had a rotary one and it irritated my skin, but so far the other kind has been smooth sailing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GRN96WS6 Posted January 12, 2008 Report Share Posted January 12, 2008 I don't think any electric razor can get as close as a razor, at least I haven't found one yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
large_x7 Posted January 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2008 Yeah, I was looking for some reviews on the internet and the Brauns are generally higher rated than the rotary types. I usually shave every other day (cause 1. I'm lazy and 2. kinda baby-faced, so I can get away with it) with a blade, but it's nice to have an electric around.

Akula Posted January 12, 2008 Report Share Posted January 12, 2008 I have had 4 different models and none work that well for me. I just use whatever cheap ass razor I buy at the store. Lately when I travel I just use what the hotel front desk gives me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rally Pat Posted January 12, 2008 Report Share Posted January 12, 2008 I grow facial hair slower than hell, and use an electric razor and like it. I have some cheap one, so cheap that I dont even remember the name of it, but it seems like it gets close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaSSon Posted January 12, 2008 Report Share Posted January 12, 2008 Brian, you're using the wrong shaver. I have a braun syncro. I love it. It gives me a near-gilette close shave with little or no irritation. i had a rotary norelco and it didn't even compare. It didn't shave as close and it caused me irritation. This is the shaver i have. The old saying "you get what you pay for" applies to the electric shaver world too. I've tried Braun, Panasonic, and Norelco. Braun wins hands down.

Hate'em. +1 right under my chin on the neck area, burns like hell and doesn't cut. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamZman Posted January 13, 2008 Report Share Posted January 13, 2008 Yeah I cant use electric razors. Get the Gillete Fusion, a shower mirror and shave in the shower.. Shave at the end of the shower when the hair is soft.. WAY better shave and the blades last a very long time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrblunt Posted January 13, 2008 Report Share Posted January 13, 2008 Braun Syncro for me too, and I get so close to the same shave as using a razor without the irritation. Plus I can grab it and shave on the way into work. Razors irritate the shit out of my neck so I dont have much of a choice. I've never used a Fusion but I hear they are kick ass.

evan9381 Posted January 13, 2008 Report Share Posted January 13, 2008 if i have to shave once a week, i think its a lot. lol but i just use a razor...had a couple electrics, and they dont work for shit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmrmnhrm Posted January 13, 2008 Report Share Posted January 13, 2008 Braun Synchro for me as well. The only time it doesn't get me blade-smooth is if I'm in a rush. Norelco cuts the crap out of me and causes in-growns, which I then have to use a blade to expose and pull out (causing yet more bleeding).

Nitrousbird Posted January 13, 2008 Report Share Posted January 13, 2008 I have a Panasonic I bought @ the Best Buy Black Friday sale. I used it for part of my face one time, and that's how I discovered I am not an electric shaver kind of person (I'll stick with my Fusion Power). $20 and it's yours. Used once and thoroughly cleaned; been sitting on a shelf for almost 2 months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WWD JUNK Posted January 13, 2008 Report Share Posted January 13, 2008 Braun Synchro + Lectric Shave is as good as any blade I've ever had and doesn't offer the irritation, or the mess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRocket1647545505 Posted January 13, 2008 Report Share Posted January 13, 2008 Anybody else find the old Mach 3 to still work better than the Fusion? I had the Fusion for about a year, but after switching back to my M3, I realized it still does much better, atleast for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had the Fusion for about a year, but after switching back to my M3, I realized it still does much better, atleast for me. i tried the fusion for a while, but i found i always knicked my face while shaving. my skin was always irritated. i switched back to the m3 and it's much better now.

RX-7 Addict Posted January 14, 2008 Report Share Posted January 14, 2008 i got an electric razor for xmas.... hate it.. doesnt cut nearly as close as a razor (esp. fusion) and it hurts like hell. Really the biggest issue is the closeness of shave. I shave with the electric and its just not smooth or close enough to feel like i just shaved. switched back to fusion..
