Hey guys,

I'm looking for an Electric Shaver for my dad, he used to use a ?50 Philips one back in the day and he got on with it fine, however the last 2 Philips we have bought are terrible - they make the skin on his neck sore and leave a rash. Both my and my brother have tried it out and it leaves our necks red and sore too. I know this is usually a sign of it getting blunt but the damn thing did it since day one!

I really want to get him a new one as he's getting on now and he can't be bothered with the wet shaving malarky... I'm unsure about those that you can use shaving gel with or use them in the shower, are they any good?

Can anyone recommend a good one? He prefers rotary, not Foil... I can spend upto ?100 but would obviously prefer to spend less if I can get one that won't affect his skin.

I don't want to spend huge amounts on a new shaver only to find it doing the same thing!

Cheers

They all seem cheap and poorly made these days. I have a Remington Titanium (MS2 390) that does fairly well. But I still keep a cheap old bic razor around to get the spots it misses.

I used to prefer Norelco (rotary) razors. I think how well they work depends on hour your facial and neck hair lies.

Real men use manual :laugh:

My father had an actual razor. Don't know what happened to it when he died. I am not even sure you can buy them anymore? Can you? I used to use the old style razors that have the replaceable blades... and I used a brush and soap instead of shaving cream... but now I am just too lazy.

    • Google Finance is now out of beta with improved portfolio tracking and a new Android app by Karthik Mudaliar Google is taking its redesigned Google Finance experience out of beta and adding several new features, including portfolio tracking, scheduled market briefings, and a dedicated Android app. The company says the updates are beginning to roll out globally this week, while an iOS app is planned for later in 2026. The most notable addition is the new portfolio feature. Instead of entering every investment manually, users can upload a screenshot, CSV file, or PDF containing their holdings. They can also tell Google Finance what they own using natural language, such as the number of shares held in a particular company or fund. Google Finance will then place those investments into a dashboard showing performance, asset allocation, concentration risk, and the holdings responsible for the biggest gains or losses. Existing portfolios created with the older version of Google Finance should appear automatically. The built-in AI research panel can use the portfolio as context when answering questions. For example, users can ask which sectors are underrepresented or how their fixed-income allocation could affect long-term growth. Google says portfolio data will remain private and that uploaded files and images will not be retained. Users will also be able to edit or delete their portfolio information after it has been imported. Google Finance is also getting scheduled tasks. These let users request recurring reports such as a daily summary of overnight cryptocurrency movements or a weekly update about newly announced initial public offerings. There is also a new Google Finance app for Android. It includes watchlists, interactive charts, real-time market data, a live news feed, and the same AI research panel available on the web. Google has been gradually expanding the AI-powered Finance redesign since it first entered testing. In April, the experience was expanded to more than 100 countries, bringing its research tools, advanced charts, and market news to a much larger audience. That was followed by a wider European rollout in May, which added features including live earnings calls, transcripts, and AI-generated summaries. The ability to import an entire portfolio from a screenshot or document should make Google Finance considerably easier to set up. However, Android users will have to wait for feature parity with the web version, and Google has yet to say exactly when the iOS app will arrive.
