First off Hi everyone im shaun
I imagine this may have been asked before so sorry if thats the case.
Im in the UK and would like some advice on getting my first electric shaver. I have some male pattern balding developing and so ive been using a phillips clippers(guardless) to shave my head for a lil while now. I dont wanna go completely sly yet. What im after is a good budget electric shaver i can use daily that cuts pretty close(stubble).
I know the expensive ones cut really close but i dont think i need razor close just yet. Any reccomendations? needs to be readily available in the UK aswell if poss.
Thanks chaps
Hi Shaun,
Welcome to Sly Bald Guys.
You could try the conair clean head shaver. It does a pretty good jobn and is fairly reasonable in proce. I am not sure if You can get it over there though but you should be able to order one on line. I got one from CVS Pharmacy on line. I don't know if they have any stores in the UK or not.
I hope that this helps.
Thanks mate.
I think id like to try the conair but finding it hard sourcing one in the uk. any tips on where i can get it at the best price with international shipping?
Try ebay or amazon. You can also get one, I'm told, off the Wal*Mart website. Or go straight to the ConAir website.
Although I'm primarily a blade man I do have a Panasonic wet-dry and I think it gives results almost as good as a blade. The wet-dry feature is nice, too, can be used in the shower. I also have an older Braun Series 3 but it's not in the same league as the Panasonic, IMO. Be advised that the Panasonic is not going to leave a whole lot of stubble in it's wake, it will shave close.
yes ive read up on the pan linear and i dont think i need to go that close. stubble is fine aslong as its cutting closer than a guardless clippers.
Since i wasnt looking for razor close i thought i could save some money by getting a lower end model instead of a pan linear or braun 7 series.
I've had very good results with the Conair. It comes with 3 combs (#3,#2,#1) and the foil shaver so you have many options to use.
The shaver will keep you completly sly and is very easy to use. It can't be used in the shower though so if you need a wet model you'd be better with the Panasonic.
