Which type of electric razor do you recommend ? by Peladin on 04 Feb, 2010 10:58

Hey guys. I'm new to the forums.
I want to start shaving my head, but I don't want to do it with a normal razor such as the Mach 3/Fusion. I want to use an electric razor.
The thing is, there are two types:
First we have the foil razors (http://www.garbarino.com/img_prod/zoom/52550.gif) and then we have the one with circular blades (http://www.garbarino.com/img_prod/nuevas/51565/zoom/51565.jpg).
So the question to all of you who used electronic razors is, which type do you recommend for shaving head ?
Thanx! Cheers. -

I do not think you get the smooth results that you get with a blade shave - -but I have a Norelco and in a pinch I have tried it - - -I would rather take another 5 minutes and shave with a blade - - - -I hate the velcro feel and with the electric the "horse-shoe" comes into sight -after a few days

Yeah, i know that a normal razor would do the job better. But the thing is, my skin can't handle the blades of a normal razor. To shave my beard i have to use a hair trimmer in the first position leaving me a 3-day beard
That's why I want to shave my head with an electric. I could do it with a gillette, but i don't want to take risks, at least not in the first time!
Anyone knows which type is the recommended ? Some experience with these machines ?
Thanks! -

The Panasonic Linear (ES8243) is an excellent choice. Use it wet, in the shower, and you'll get a shave that will rival a blade shave. I guar-on-tee it!

I understand that the Vortex or Linear Wet/Dry are the best. Panasonic and Braun I believe.

Thanx for the responses!
I don't think I can get that Panasonic here at my country. I will try, anyways I can still buy some similar shaver.
So, all in all, the foil shavers are better that the circular (philips), right ?? -

Argentina.
I've been seaching and it seems Philishave and Braun are the only brands available here. I guess I will buy some single-foil Braun since its foiled and cheap
Any other suggestions are welcome.
Cheers. -

What he said!
I bought an 8243K (black) based pretty much on Red's review and I use it on in between days or if I'm in a hurry. I give it 2 thumbs up. -

I recently did a post about the Connair Cleanhead that you should check out.
I highly recommend it -
