Electric shavers
- Thread starter LabR@t
- Start date
below sites great - many genuine comments, follow the advice, also iterated earlier in this thread, get a better value Panasonic
if you have any angular features on your face electric 5 blades have the manouverability/precision of a pair of garden shears - so I go 3 blade.
......
have recently been considering trying pre-shaves
The one from Lectric shave is a great option since it’s widely available and cheap, but at least for me, some other brands are better. I am referring to the ones from Speick and Tabac and while they cost more, the performance, texture and scent are superior.
Ive been wet shaving for years but with having a condition called cerebral palsy I always without fail nic myself when I shave... Ive tried a cheap philips electric shaver about 20yrs ago but that totally destroyed my neck as it was painful after, so been wet shaving ever since.... I might try again with the panasonic shaver that you all raving about, but a couple of questions. 1 How long does the blades lasts? Can you get as close as "wet shaving"? 3 Is the ES-LV97 better than the ES-LV65-s, which 1 would you buy?

Study 2
Comparison of the Braun Series 9 and Panasonic Lamdash 5 upgrade (ES-CLV9A) in a consumer use test (test no.: M165004)
Test objective:
Comparison of shaving performance and gentleness on skin between Braun Series 9 and Panasonic Lamdash 5 upgrade in a consumer use test.The test focused on measuring shaving time and the test subjects’ personal perception about shaving performance attributes and gentleness on skin.
Test description:
Location:ipi Institute für Produkt-Markt-Forschung in Stuttgart
Time frame: March 2, 2016 to April 8, 2016
Test subjects:
100 clean-shaven men between the ages of 18 and 65, who shave at least three to four times a week and who are willing to pay €150 for a shaver.All participants use a shaver with an linear oscillating system at home.The test was carried out on a three-day beard and a 24-hour beard.
Test design:
The test shave was conducted at the test institute under the supervision of a test manager.By shaving in split-face mode, the Series 9 was used for one half of the face and the other half with the Panasonic Lamdash 5 upgrade (ES-CLV9A).The following day, the shavers were reversed and each was used on the other half of the face.The shaving time per half of the face was measured by the test manager.After shaving, the test subjects rated the following shave attributes for both halves of the face with the aid of an electronic questionnaire: thoroughness, speed (efficiency), removal of residual hair, and gentleness on skin before and after shaving.
Results:
In shaving attributes such as speed (efficiency), thoroughness and adaptation to problem areas as well as the measured shaving time, Braun Series 9 was rated significantly95% confidence level) better on three-day beards than the Panasonic Lamdash 5 upgrade.Both shavers were rated equally for the attributes thoroughness and speed (efficiency) on a 24-hour beard.Gentleness on skin as well as the removal of residual hair in problem areas for both beard lengths were rated equally for both shavers.

they don't define 'significantly' either.

Phillips 5000 here. Wanted the 9000 but too much really. The 5000 was 40 quid and lasted me over 3 years so bought another.

I use mine to shave my head bald, works surprisingly well provided I don't let my hair grow too much
I would buy the braun 5 series as the price is good, but the panasonic ES-LV67 has a closer shave than the braun series 9 apparently ..

Just shows how we're all different, mine shaves me like a baby's bum.
Its
Its going tobe either the braun 6 series or the panasonic ES-LV65. The braun because its only 3 blades and it might be easier to use then the panasonic. And the panasonic because it gives you the closest shave than any other shaver... But I dont know as both shavers gets mixed reviews
5 blade would be like a brick, even 3 blade es-ll21 you have to invert razer under nose, my older 3 blade linear pan had no problems.
es-ll21 moves enough for me .. on the neck don't want to cut yourself, if it moves erratically
67's a ridiculous price, too, versus ll21
braun 9, 5 blade too, like lv67, do people have large flat areas on their faces to allow continued contact on 5 blades.
struggle in what respect ? multi-day growth ?
Series 9 down to £199 on amazon (I Haven't checked the price at anywhere else like boots, Etc)
EDIT: Boots is also £199 but does not come with the clean & charge station
