Title: Best electric razor
Post by: LurkerNoMore on December 11, 2019, 10:37:17 AM
Dudes and dudettes, need a bit of advice here.  My dad has been using the same electric razor for 17  years.  I want to get him a new one for Christmas.  I know nothing about these things as I use a blade.

Anyone know a decent one under $250?  Or should I just get him to join GetBig and start shaving with the 9-in-1 Rambo Combat Survival Knife like the rest of us?  So sharp it can cut paper.  Cuts paper dude....

Surely, there are good one's for way under 250 dollars?

I don't know.  Really have no clue as I have never used one or such.

My problem with electric shavers is they work great on the sides of my face and mouth area but cause a lot of irritation on my neck. Basically unusable under my jawline.

I don't know if there are specific types which can avoid this.

I have a slight case of Seborrheic dermatitis on certain spots of my face. I havent used a blade in over 10 years, as I didnt want to irritate my condition. I would always just use a buzzer to take off the excess hair. However, I wanted more of a clean shave, so I recently purchased this electric razor and love it. I think it was close to $90

The one I posted above works pretty damn well on my neck area and under my chin. Some spots are very hard to get with the electric razor and I just use a razor for those spots, but its minimal.

$250?  What are you, nuts?

This works great.  $26.00.  Show your Dad he didn't raise someone foolish with money.

And you can buy him a new one next year when the blades get dull.

I use a Philips Norelco series 9000. I works great on wiry white beards. -Stays charged for a very long time and comes with an adjustable trimmer head. It wasn't cheap, but I deserve the best.

Never had any luck with electric razors. I have thick facial hair and it's never looks like a close shave. Also the blades dull in time.  Maybe I never used a quality one. I think the one I had cost about $80 bucks.

Just looked up that one and it says you have to replace the blade every four months and it says directly it doesn't shave as close as their other more expensive electric razors. Reviews say it's great for keeping that light shadow look. I might get it. When I had the stubble look I would shave every three or four days. Thought it would be great if I could keep that look and the Philips one blade comes with stubble spacers. Thanks for the suggestion.

Many people don't purchase new heads as often as needed. It's kind of like not changing your toothbrush or for those of us who use electric toothbrushes replacing the heads when needed. If I remember correctly, for my electric shaver, Phillips Norelco recommends changing the head annually at minimum. No matter what kind of equipment you use to shave your face, the blades will get dull overtime. Guys who look good in full beards have it made.

Is it still holding up?

I wish I could use an electric razor, but it just grinds my face up and leaves that rash look to it.

I can recommend this too. Quick and easy to use and no irritation. You can even do your ear hairs and back of the neck fuzz.

Go for the slightly more expensive model as it has far superior battery life.

For blades, I found Mach 3 the best for least irritation.

Here is little tip for you: no matter how good it is, how much you will pay for it, year after you buy it you can't get any spare parts for it, because it is so old model. There will be at least two new models with different parts, so buy a new one, ending spending 250$ per year for electric razors  ;D

I was literally talking about this the other day. I’ve got a cheap one with removable heads for trimming your body hair but also has a shave head. I started using it for shaving recently and like the feel but it isn’t expensive so I think that’s why it misses spots. I’d like a close smooth shave and it seems the only way to do it.

Many of the the body hair trimmers suggest you not use them above your neck.
