Electric razor

[Bruinator]

Which type of razor does you guys use to get a good , close shave between a foil or circular head razor?

 

Opinions wanted plz.

I've had both. Think foil worked better for me but it's more fragile and can dent easy if you're not careful.

More opinions are welcomed plz.

I have a Philips 5000 series, works really well.

Do you get a very close shave with it plz?

[HoochieMamma]

Yes, very close. Not as close as a razor blade but almost there. Surprised me the first time I used it. Just need to make sure you don't apply too much pressure and let the razor do its job.

I've used both types over the years and I have found that the Norelco rotary razors work better overall.

 

One note, for the best shave, you MUST follow the directions! Don't use any other razor for 4 to 6 weeks. If you switch often, the rotary doesn't work nearly as well.

personally I tried a few electric razors when I was younger and never really liked them. Maybe my skin is just too sensitive for them but they ALWAYS gave me horrible razor burn no matter the model I tried. I know they've gotten better in recent years but really don't care to dump the kind of money a good one costs just to try it out.

 

This thread isn't for manual razors but I'd still like to mention what I use. When I shave I mostly use a Defender Razor now; it's been the best manual razor I've personally used. It has a unique design where the blades are independent from each other allowing them to flex as needed.

Personally, I think the circular head razors suck. The few I've tried couldn't cut peach fuzz let alone any stiff hairs! I use electric foil razor exclusively and like the one I have very much. Can't tell you what model number it is, but it's a Remington. It doesn't get quite as close as a regular razor, but I hate those also. Make my face feel like it's on fire!

 

Even at 62 years old, I still have enough of a baby face that I can't grow squat for a beard or anything so an electric razor works perfectly.

If circular heads are your thing I would recommend the Philips 98xx. I even use it for my head. Gives a very close shave.

Guys, Even if this is for bald heads, it gives an very close, smooth shave for your face as well. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08R7NLL3R/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_glt_fabc_P7DJHJX5725RSZFKEK9K?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

 

Well worth the money.
