I may be in the market for another electric face shaver again. My current one is an old norelco with the 3 circlular foils. Just wondering what type you all have or recommend?
 
Eerie...I was going to ask this as well.

I've been using a Mach 3 (not the Turbo blades) for a while, but I'm thinking of getting an electric. I only typically shave twice a week. I don't grow fast enough or have a thick enough beard to shave daily, or even every other day. And if I did, I'd probably be ripping my face to shreads.

What would be a good electric shaver for me?

(Don't mean to thread-hijack, but two threads would be excessive and superfluous).
 
I have used all the major brands of electrics over the years, and I find that Braun works the best. When mine finally kicks the bucket, I will buy another Braun.
 
I have much the same experience with Norelco, I've owned just two over about 30 years. Keep em clean.
 
Yepp, Braun for me too. And it's a very old one, bought in 1974. Still working fine :cool:

I have a sappy story about electric razors.

Back several years ago my dad purchased a new Norelco as a Christmas present for my Grandpa. To make a long story short, he was quite old and heart finally stopped pumping that Christmas night. So he opened the present but never used it.
After everything was over and done I ended up with the razor. Now, years later, me and Grandpa still get to spend a couple minutes together in the morning.
 
I use a Norelco Spectra 8831 XL that I'm pretty pleased with. Before that I used Braun for many years, but I felt it was time for a change. I think that the Braun gave a slightly closer shave, and did a better job around my mustache and in trimmimg my sideburns, but the Norelco is alot quieter and seems to hold a charge longer. I also found the foil of the Braun to be a little too fragile.
 
Sensitive skin here......tried a Braun after I'd gone through 2 Norelcos. Actually they each still worked fine but instead of buying new heads I let the kids/wife buy me a new one. The Braun shaved me too close and caused irritation so it was back to Norelco and I don't see myself owning anything else from here on. Since I'm divorced now, my GF bought my last Norelco for me Christmas of '03. Oh yeah, been shaving 40+ years.

Can't remember the brand exactly, but I'm saving up for one recommended by The Fab Five. It's a wet/dry electronic linear razor, from Panasonic I think, that runs about $114.00.
 
I have had a couple of Norelcos over the years. They do a good job. But they don't shave as close a blade.
 
I've had a norelco and a panasonic. I have a braun now, I like the self cleaning aspect.
 
Have a AC powered Norelco in the bathroom and a battery powered Braun in the car. Both great
 
I have mostly used Norelcos over the years, but I alternated with a Braun for a while. It always seemed that whichever I hadn't used lately gave me a closer shave. Seriously. I'm still not sure why. These days I'm back to just the Norelco.
