Thread: Best Electric Razor

Looking into getting an electric razor. I'm getting tired of the whole shaving cream / razor routine and need something quicker and easier. My wife suggest me to go with this Philips razor. What ya think? Am I on the right track? Anyone have any other recommnedations? What are using and are you happy with it?

Surely this is a joke, right???

Sorry to break it to you matey, but your speaking to the wrong crowd here. The reason why we are all here is to unite against electrics and disposables/cartridges due to the crappy shaves they provide.

I would point you to an electric razor forum, but I'm pretty sure none exist..... for good reason

Blasphemy !

Kidding aside, I bought one many years ago thinking it would be quick and easy. Remington's best at the time. Took three times as long and nowhere near as good a shave as a DE or a Schick injector of the time. Unless they've improved the technolodgy don't waste your money.

This would be about the last place you'd want to ask for advice on an electric.

Right! Is that you TheBigSpender? Right!
Whose having us on?

I don't think it's April 1st yet is it???

Well I'll be damned! I shouldn't be surprised, this being the internet and all, but for some strange reason I was compelled to google this and low and behold I found at least 2 electric forums.

Poor, misguided souls

My dad was a confirmed electric razor shaver and I tried them several times. However I just couldn't accept the results. The last time was about two years ago with what I thought was a quality Braun razor. Before that I had a couple of Norelcos and I think a Remington. My dad didn't like Remington, but liked Sunbeam and later Braun. After an initial spike the shaves deteriorated after about a week. A thorough cleaning produced minimal improvement. A year later I replaced the entire head and once again, good shaves for a week, then couldn't buy a good shave. For the first 40 years I flip flopped between electric razors and disposables/cartridges and more or less swapped irritations.

This year I am getting the smoothest and least irritating shaves of my life with double edge razors and straight razors. The double edge razor gets the job done as fast as anything I have used.

I guess my answer is that I have never been happy with any electric razor I have used. I just can't stand the spotty job they do.
