Thanks for the tip about the rotary shaver and the foil shaver, Primus1...

Re: Electric Shaver recommendations please.
I prefer the good old fashioned double edge safety razor for a good close shave, but for a swift facial clean up without any bother I do use electric. Hitachi was in my view the best but they have stopped production, so I switched to Braun. However, I was in Tesco's not long ago and noticed a Wahl on sale at a straight £40, so thought I would give it a try. WOW I was impressed how well it performed. I'm not exactly taken with its ultra modern bright yellow colour, but for shaving performance it certainly gets my vote :thumbup: I checked on-line and my purchase from Tesco saved me £23.63 compared to Amazon

Re: Electric Shaver recommendations please.
I use a Braun Series 9 in dry mode, although it can be used with water and a shaving gel if that's the preference. I used Philishave razors for years but find the Braun gives a slightly closer shave.The razor came with its own cleaning and charging station but after a while, I found this was an unnecessary item and now prefer to clean it by using a dry paint brush on the razor body and running the shaving head under running warm water.
One disadvantage of the Braun is that it is quite noisy compared to a Philishave. When running next to the ears (as it has to be) this can be a factor to consider. If a more peaceful time in the mornings is important, get a Philishave.

Re: Electric Shaver recommendations please.
... another vote for Philips 3 rotary floating heads.I renewed mine recently, went to John Lewis then Boots ... poor selection, stocking the most expensive models with a supposed discount. I found what I wanted at Argos.

Philips dry electric shaver, simple, £40 or £50, works a treat.
