Electric Razor

[Conanius]

Riteo....

I've been a user of the mighty wet shave for quite some time (currently using a Gillette Mach 3 Turbo Nitro Pro Ball Race Bearing Touring Car Edition) however I fancy getting a decent electric shaver for xmas as a replacement. One reason is the fact that I only seem to get 4-5 days from each blade which is costing a small fortune !

Keen to hear what you all use, and ones to avoid etc.. aware that spending more seems to offer more, but would appreciate a bit of guidance from your dry shavers !

Cheers all

It depends how thick your beard is... if it's rather thick and stubbly then I'd recommend against going electric, however if you only have a slight beard anything by Braun's or philips is pretty good.

I dont think ive got that tough facial hair tbh, with a fresh blade it comes off nicely, however after a few days I feel like im shaving with a bit of broken glass that the ****** leave on the floor after a good ol' bottlin sesh.

I'd rather shave with some sand paper than an electric razor.

see above, im getting crap results with wet shaving, plus dry shaving looks like I could do it in about 30 seconds oppossed to the time it takes me with a wetshave so I dont slice my face apart : /

Gareth, ever tried a cut-throat? Best shave I've ever got until it was nicked by airport security Still need to get myself a new one. Not the disposable blade type, the single blade type that you have to sharpen on a leather belt.

I must admit i've never tried it...

I'd imagine they are quite expensive though? How much am I looking for a reasonable one? what shaving soap etc do you recommend etc etc?
