Electric Razor

I have a Norelco speed xl and Im not real happy with it and haven't been for sometime now.....Anyone have one that kicks ass....I did some reviews and just because they were expensive, didn't necessarily mean that they were better. I think I spent about 80 or 90 a year ago....I replaced the blades,but it didnt help that much.....

You know what.....I have tried manuals before, but they just don't work on my face..Maybe I just don't have the bone structure...........I just bought the Gillette Fusion Pro Glide to give it a try....so I will report soon on it.

the life span on the Norelco electric razors is dependent on how well you clean and care for them. They will last alot longer, and work alot better if you clean them regularly.

I use the Norelco and it works OK. Not great, but not terrible. The coil type razors (Remington and Braun) were terrible--felt like I was shaving with a motorized butter knife.

In the same boat Wildkat. I have a Braun, paid about $220. Bought a new blade a year later and the change was less than 10%. I use Bic disposables right after showering as they last must longer than just putting a slap of water and shaving cream.

Tried electric razors before and did not like them. I only use the Schick Slim Trim 2 Sensitive disposable razors now. Over many years I tried all knds of different razors and this is the only one that does not irritate my skin.

i tried an electric yrs ago but felt like the hair was getting yanked out of my face so that didn't last long

i've pretty much used a gillette sensor my entire adult life for my face and a headblade for my head

Bic disposable for head and face. 50 of 'em for $16 at Sam's Club. One lasts about 2-3 weeks (shave ever other day cause chicks dig the 5 o'clock shadow).
