Electric shavers

[luke2177]

Good morning all,

I'm in the market for a new electric shaver. I've previously been using a Remington MicroScreen 3 (not too great a product in hindsight) and want to upgrade but don't really wish to spend more than $150-$200 tops.

Any suggestions?

The MicroScreen 3 was alright at first but quickly found the foils break up too often and leave nasty cuts if you're not very, very careful. This leads to a replacement cost for the foils of about $20-$30 per time (I reckon I've replaced them at least 3-4 times a year for 2-3 years).

Thanks in advance!

Used to use that one as well, had it for 5 years before it finally conked out recently. I used to replace the foils & cutters every 6 months at around $50 a throw.

Now using a Remington MS5700PG Titanium MicroScreen which cost $150. I personally like it, the only thing I would warn about is to be careful when charging it. Mine cooked itself on the 2nd charge, might just have been a faulty one though. Got it replaced though & the new one works fine.

I prefer good ole fashioned way with shaving cream. Much closer shave...

If you have thinner hair than electric shavers are fine but I find the Gilette Mach 3 is the way to go for those who can grow beards.

True, but it leaves you a lot of cuts in your face which i don't like, that's why i use both the electric and the razor blades with cream. I use the electric every day and then use the razor blades about twice per week just to get the cleaner shave.

Unless your shaver is rusty, has a jagged edge or you've only started shaving I don't know how you could cut yourself.

Cuts?

Well i dont know how you shave but i very rarely cut myself shaving. Out of interest how long do you guys keep the razor blades in your shavers? Like the Mach 3 Turbo, not the electric ones.

I usually change mine once a week.

I'd like to know how long since Korn has changed his blades, or if he's changed them at all if keeps cutting himself.

Chicks dig guys with scars, or so I've been told...

What about acne scars and dents?

awwww poor spelly. I've never really had that much acne, I had a bad batch in year 8 or 9, but since then have been been pimple free.

Year 8 and 9 was when I had it the worst, but it's really only now a couple of dents. A fair few scars on the shoulders though.

I still get pimples on my shoulders, and my neck.
