Electric razor recommendations

[briarcreekguy]

The other thread about shaving with safety razors got me to thinking. I have been shaving for about 30 years, and have always shaved with a blade and shaving cream. The last few years it seems that the skin on my neck is getting more and more sensitive and I suffer from a lot of razor burn. So I have been thinking of switching to an electric razor. Now I assume that even the best electric shaver will not shave as close as a blade. I've never used an electric, but I am willing to give it a try. So what are your recommendations for a good electric.

i have been using a braun, its one of the midrange priced ones, and i am just not fond of shaving at all, but i am not sure i like the razor all that much either. my dad has the highest priced braun that cleans itself, back form a few years ago, and he loves his...

I will be watching this as well. It will give a second chance to those mornings I don't care to lather up.

Braun is good. Electric razors need at least two weeks for your skin to get used to them. So what ever brand you do pick keep that in mind and give it a good month before you decide.

Just get yourself a straight razor you got the stone to sharpen it. Go old school. See you tomorrow.

Forget electrics!!! Throw out your can of goop and get a brush and some real shaving soap. My skin is sensitive as well. I switched a few years ago and no longer get razor burn.

I'm with these guys, I think Braun makes a damn fine electric shaver...Norelcos are nice, but I just get a better shave with a Braun micro-screen. My Dad is the opposite, he prefers the Norelco rotory time shavers over the Braun Micros.
