I used to have a Panasonic ES8077S with which I used to shave my head at least twice a week for about 5 years. It worked great, but finally died a few months ago. I ordered a Panasonic ES8243A from Newegg last week and am anxiously awaiting its arrival. In the past I generally shaved with a Mach 3 and, later on, the Fusion razor in between shaves with the electric shaver. The wet/dry shaver gave me an almost-as-close shave as the Mach 3 and Fusion whenever I used it in the shower, along with a good shaving cream. I found that the electric shaver didn't like gels or oils at all. I also recently bought a HeadBlade and plan to use it in conjunction with the electric shaver. I highly recommend the Panasonic wet/dry shavers.
