Electric Shavers
Re: Electric Shavers
My skin dries up like like crazy and being blonde I can't exactly grow the old shadow (or sideburns actually) but I have to shave every 2 or 3 days or days or look a scruff.
Always wet though, can't imagine using an electric shaver.

Am a tried and proved Philips man now having tried Braun and Remington in the past (not all models). Get great battery use out of the roto blades, however I do enjoy the cut throat down town in Chaibadan every now and then - always better than an electric shave!
Re: Electric Shavers
Wife went shopping at Central, Pattaya and found some electric shavers. She bought a Philips AT750 for 2,498 Baht. That was the only AT model they had (wet/dry). She said they had many different models of Braun and were doing a hard sell on them.
Just getting used to using the Philips so no definitive report yet. First try didn't go too well....but it's early days. Pete

Re: Electric Shavers
I was rather intrigued by callers comment
His conclusion the foil and blade replacements were more expensive than buying a new razor so he is buying me a new one just in case
As my Braun is my first electric shaver in 20+ years i did not know so i asked my BinL he did his bit Braun UK, ebay etcThe con is with the cost of the relacement shaving head, which they recommend changing every two years.

I bought this shaver from 7-11 on the corner of 94 and railroad parallel west. The price was 219 THB and the thing seems to go on for ever on the dual AA batteries.

Re: Electric Shavers
I have 2 Brauns, a large plug in model and a small rechargeable one for travel--both excellent, but the replacement foils are riduculously expensive (more than half the cost of the whole unit)so treat them carefully.
Re: Electric Shavers
I bought a Braun but it didn't work well took forever to shave my face. I then tried one of the cheaper Philips and it was much better. Unfortunately it was stolen from my bag in Nigeria. I then bought another philishave but the more expensive triple blade, wow does it work great. I can shave in about 1 minute and the battery lasts forever. I charge it at home before going to work for 1 month and don't charge it again until I return (shave daily).
Re: Electric Shavers
I have been using the same Norelco rotary head shaver for 15 years and it still gives me a good shave with a shaving head change about every two or three years. It's made by Phillips and sold under the Norelco brand in the U.S. but the only ones I've seen here are Phillips cheaper ones with 2 heads (mine has 3) and I don't think they work as well. This one gives me 70 hours per charge at 3 to 4 minutes per shave and I have a heavy growth so need to shave twice a day so a charge lasts around two weeks. It is great and I wish I could find a replacement here as it is getting worn in some parts and the recharge cord is completely devoid of the rubber coating now.
Anyway, if you can find one, I highly recommend the Norelco 3 head rotary. I tried much more expensive electric razors from Germany and others but this one has worked best and longest for me.
I've actually had more than one person here ask me how I remain so clean shaven all the time... (twice a day for 3 minutes with my Norelco!)

Re: Electric Shavers
Hello! Is there anyone here who knows the top of the line electric shaver? I would certainly benefit from a lot of the information you provide here. Thank you!
Re: Electric Shavers
I bought a replacement for the Norelco one I mentioned above at Central Department Store Bangkok. Great shaver under the Philips brand name here.

Re: Electric Shavers
I have had several Braun shavers over the years and always found them first class, the cheaper versions work as good as the more expensive models. I was given a tip many years ago by an assistant at John Lewis in London. For a more comfortable shave apply a light dusting of talcum powder (before you start) and you will not get the drag sometimes experienced if your face is damp with perspiration, naturally HHAD members don`t sweat!
