Post by: -Doug- on November 16, 2011, 04:45:57 PM: I inherited one and tried this with the 1250x - it is in the SensoTouch 3D family. It didn't work well for me but electrics have never really agreed with my skin. Your experience may be different.

If you try it, post about your results.

For Panasonic also check the online Panasonic Premium Store. They sell refurbished units. I bought an ES8243K from them a couple of years ago. It is still going strong, I use it about once a week normally or more often when cuts are healing. I was always leery of "refurbished" until someone gave me a different way of looking at it. It's a new one with all the bugs worked out.

Post by: dinosaur1 on November 21, 2011, 07:50:12 PM: I still use the Panasonic ES8103 and love it. I have been using it for a bit over a year....is it wise to replace the blade yet? I agree I like the design of the Panasonic's as well.

p.s. where is a good place to buy the blades?

Post by: Slynito on November 21, 2011, 08:19:21 PM: I found replacement blades for one of my old Panasonic shavers several years ago on E-bay. They were expensive so the next time I upgraded to a newer Panny for just a few buck$ more. I recently bought the LA-63 on E-bay and it is the best Panny I've ever used.

anyone else have luck with this philips headgroom electric razor? To me it looks like it isn't meant close head shaving..?

Post by: Slynito on November 27, 2011, 09:47:03 AM: I was in a rush a few nights ago. I washed my head, rinsed and applied some Shave Secret and put my Panasonic to work and got a very good shave. Not like the cold steel of a Fusion, but very good for electro-mechanical.

Post by: dinosaur1 on November 27, 2011, 08:18:11 PM: consumerreports.com also rates the Braun Series 7-790cc very highly. Has anyone tried this model?

Post by: Slynito on November 28, 2011, 12:47:05 PM: It would sure be nice to have a store that allowed us to "Test Drive" all of the different electric shavers.
