(for helping you)
..you want also trimming? You want battery? You want sometimes to cut your hair every week and not everyday? You want 100% protection(Braun/Panasonic foil systems) or you want to feel the blades?....and of course Money :)
I think you have the answers to my questions and you can choose which machine is better for you.

Btw, I think nobody's stay in one method. We start with something and we try to see what work better at ours head.

Yep still recommend the Braun. Mine is the series 7 which I have had for a couple of years now but still going well. No doubt there is a newer model but this is the second Braun I have had and both have been great.
Comes with mains power or rechargeable battery option and I find it is quite ok to shave my head daily with this razor. Being a hairy fella, by half way through the day my pate is not as smooth as when first shaved but appearance wise no problems.

Thanks a lot guys, looks like im going to go with the braun. I may be saving up for quite a long time before i get one, but im sure it will all be worth it. I will inform you guys once i get hold of one.

Whats the differences between the newer series of the braun shavers?

Are they more powerful or just a bit more modernised in terms of design etc?

Furthermore smoothhead can you post a picture of your braun, so that i confirm im looking at the corrent products.

Thanks.

One i have is the Braun Series 3 340. It gives a good shave. Takes a while and head doesnt stay as smooth as long as a wet shave but otherwise it is a decent shaver.

As much as I hate to recommend this, because I'm a newly-minted DE aficionado, I would suggest the Head Blade. It's practically foolproof, and while I don't like it personally as much as I enjoy shaving with a DE, the Head Blade is both easy to use and reliable. They sell for about $15 and I found I got 5-6 shaves minimum per blade. Maybe as many as 10-12.

I'm probably a bit too late, but for what it's worth, I use a Remington R5 as shown here.

I personally like the Wahl 5-Star Shaver been using it for a few years now. However, I am looking for another one (panasonic or braun).
