Xmas Electric razor recommendation.

The best shaver is the Bic disposable, used in the shower. The Walgreens ones are excellent, too.

Agreed, using a Bic disposable is best done in the shower. The blood easily washes down the drain hole! ;)

Hence why I have a beard!

Same here. Plus it hides a lot of "ugly" ;-) ...Jim Thompson

Ok, I have an electric razor now. It is a Remington rechargeable. I have had it about two years, on its second set of blades and foils. Expensive razors just cost more when they break, so I buy relatively inexpensive razors. This one was around $30 after Christmas a couple of years ago.

I also have an electric 'bladed' razor, a Gillette Fusion that I got free from a Microchip seminar.

If you want one to last another 25 years, you are out of luck... ;-)

In a recent test from an independant consumer magazine the more expensive ones from Braun and Philips where te best.

Where's the line cord?

You need to try a Chinese style (not just Chinese made) electric razor. Rechargeable (2.4v), cheap and it is like a cat licking your face. As long as the hair is fairly short (2-3 days growth at most) they are fantastic for comfort but not the best in terms of speed. The whiskers come of as a fine powder which is really weird.

Norelco for those in the US. Any Norelco with a lithium ion should do the trick, but I always go for top of the line because it takes so long to kill a Norelco shaver. You don't miss the extra $50 between top of the line and bottom of the line over a decade or two. In the dark ages, I would put in new nicad packs, but with lithium ion, they last much longer. Phillips has battery fuel gauging and charging down to a science.

The blades are damn expensive and lots of price fixing since they seem to be the same price no matter where you go. If you are a Costco member, their packaged units tend to have an extra set of blades. That is $25 in your pocket right there.

The razor I'm using now, I bought in the 70's, it's Philips. Used a bic quite often too, ok, but messy on my desk. (Used a dish of warm h2o). Thanks guys, many of you are potential Santas. Ken

Just make sure you get a crystal controlled model, for that 20 parts per million precision cut.

I think someone should design smart hair clippers that only snip the grey hairs. That should be feasible. It could do split ends, too.

I don't know about that.

I have a corded Norelco Reflex Plus going on 20 yrs.

Blades are $10.

It's not as close as a foil, but it doesn't jerk out hairs when the foils break either. :-)

You wouldn't want to get the shade setting wrong.

Sylvia.

Well, if it's only the gray ones, I'd be safe. I'm long past gray. ;-)

That would make me bald! Come on man!

Who is doing the shaving and what are they shaving?
