Best Electric Shavers???

[Dash Riprock]

I've always used the disposable razors you can by at the grocery store for shaving. I tried an electric shaver years ago and didn't like it. That was like late 80s

I'm curious now with modern technology and design if maybe electric shavers are better these days?

If anyone uses an electric shaver and it does a good job, please let me know what brand and model you are using.

I was trying to read reviews for this online and it seems to be just fake advertising where all review are "this shaver changed my life!" over the top kinda stuff.

So I thought I'd inquire on this forum since I'm sure lots of guys here like to stay clean shaven while misbehaven

And... I'd really be interested in an electric shaver with adjustable depth setting so I can have a little stubble but all of it be trimmed the same

To give a brutha that beard grown out slightly look instead of the clean shaven look.

OK, so I guess nobody uses electric shavers these days.

I have an electric shaver and love it!!!! Impossible to cut yourself which is why I would never go back to those disposable shavers. My skin is smooth at the end of shaving just like the disposable ones. Battery life is good, that is one charge will last several weeks. And it shaved well again and again. The only time I’ve had to buy a new shaver is if the battery stop charging.

Well worth the money.

Please let me know what brand and model you are using so I can check it out.

Way back when I first needed to start shaving, my parents presented me with a Phillishave (this would have been about 1990). I soon switched to a blade because the electric never left me with less than an end of day stubble. Switched from cartridges to DE safety razor for my face twenty years ago. Small learning curve, but never had a better shave with anything else. I've tried several of the more affordable electric head shavers on eBay in recent years, but they're not much cop either. OK for taking a layer off if I get lazy on a long weekend and go four or five days without a headshave, but rubbish for getting it back to skin the way I prefer. Not a fan of stubble - I don't feel clean with it. Nothing beats a blade - though alas that means sticking with cartridges for my head, as can't get the right angles for the DE all over. Now I just wish hair fell out on the back and ides the way it does the top.

It does seem the hair seem to grow out faster or it becomes more noticeable with an electric shaver than a real blade. The newer electric shaved do leave your skin very smooth. The huge benefit of electric shaves is you don’t get cuts.

Some are saying the new electric razors still don't shave all that well....

The newer electric shaved do leave your skin very smooth.

And others are saying the new electric razors work very well....

If I knew which one to try I'd try an electric shaver. Which brand / model???

If I try a few, I'm hoping to be able to return them if they don't work well.

Seems like an electric shaver might be one of those items that cannot be returned once it is used... but one won't be able to know if it works well for them without using it.

This is the one I have: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0BLBV8W9W?ref_=ppx_hzod_title_dt_b_fed_asin_title_0_0

It lifts the worst from my head, but really doesn't come as close as a blade (I've tried half a dozen electric shavers over the years, none of them did). They do try to railroad you into buying expensive replacement heads every so often, which don't really make any difference. I guess if you want a stubble rather than a clean shave it works. Not a fan of stubble myself; it makes my faced feel dirty.
