Wow it's been awhile since I've posted here! I'm bald by choice and let my hair grow out the last few months for fun since it's been so many years but I'm ready to go back sly! I've been considering picking up an electric shaver to have another tool at my disposal and would really like a foil style shaver. After doing a ton of research I got down to a Wahl 5 star or andis profile lithium and ultimately was about to go with the andis, until....
I found this:
https://www.amazon.com/Tyche-Powerful-shaving-shaping-trimming/dp/B01NB032A6
I've only found one video for it where a guy does a side by side with the Wahl, the andis, and the tyche and he actually prefers the tyche. The best part is it's under $40 (instead of the $50-$70 of the Wahl or andis) and it fits the Wahl replacement heads.
Anyone here have any experience? Or, can anyone here suggest a more affordable foil style shaver that leaves a pretty smooth head?
I typically use a DE so I have pretty high standards of smooth, I know an electric won't be as close as a de so that is why I'm looking more at "professional" shavers.

I have used a Remington triple foil shaver for years. It gets near razor close, without causing any irritation. I replace the blades and foils every couple of years for $17. Model number is F5790.

I used the Phillips Norelco 3100 (http://amzn.to/2vvOi7X) while I was in the hospital and it worked great. I still use it on those days that I'm a little pressed for time.

Great, thanks guys! Both of those (or their equivalent model) are available locally for me so I'll have to check them out.

You're welcome!

I just got the Tyche shaver, so once it's charged, we shall see how it is.
