I’m looking at purchasing an electric razor, and was wondering what some of you feel are the best. I’m not crazy about electric razors, as the two I’ve previously tried did a real crappy job, especially around my neck/under my chin. I previously owned a Remington micro screen (the one that they always had commercials for way back), and also a Braun, with the 3 heads.
Anyways, it’s been quite some time since I last used one, and figured that the newer ones would be better. Experience, recommendations?
I don’t feel that electric razors are useful unless you like to keep some stubble on you. If you must be clean shaven, you’re going to need a blade like the Mach 3. I tried a Braun model for a few weeks and it sucked ass.
I have the Braun razor with the self-cleaning base, and I LOVE IT. It cuts really close on the cheeks and down the chin line. I haven’t found an electric that does well on the neck, but this one does a pretty good job. All you have to do is make a few strokes with a Mach3 afterwards and you are clean. It’s never cut me, and it feels great. Good luck with your purchase
This may sound a bit anal but if I’m going to go through the effort of shaving I want it done right. Regular razors do a terrible job on my mustache area and always leave nicks. No problem on the rest of my face. On the other hand, the Norelco does a great job on my mustache area and a terrible job on the rest of my face - stubble AND razor burn sucks.
Guess what - I use the Norelco for the mustache area and a razor on the rest of my face. A Norelco will do a decent job if you give it the break in period, but never as good as a razor. Mach 3 is the best.
