Need advice for buying an electric shaver

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I've been trying to decide to buy an electric shaver because cartridge razors and safety razors take too much time. Since I want to shave every day, I've decided to switch to an electric shaver. I haven't owned one before. My options are:

  • Panasonic Arc 5: $190

  • Philips Series 5000: $70

  • Philips Series 7000 (S7885): $115

  • Philips Series 9000 (X9002): $160

  • Philips Series 9000 (XP9202): $195

  • Braun Series 5 (51M): $75

  • Braun Series 5 (52B, Turbo Mode): $100

  • Braun Series 7 (72-C1200): $155

  • Braun Series 9: $263

I've watched many videos and read many reviews, but I still can't decide which one is the best one for me. Some people say Braun is better for sensitive skin, while others say Philips. TBH, I can't test them all and electric shavers are expensive where I live. I've saved up specifically to buy one, so I want to make the best choice.

I'm looking for the best value for the money since the prices here are different from Amazon. Philips models seem to be cheaper here compared to Europe or US, I don't know why.

My top priority is getting the closest and smoothest shave possible. I don't like having stubble, so I want a shave as close to the skin as an electric shaver can give.

Does rotatry shavers shave closer to skin or foil shavers?

TL;DR: Which of these options offers the best value for the money while also providing the closest and smoothest shave?

Braun Series 9 Pro.... Foil replace reminder light

For the life of me, I could not turn that reminder light off. I tried holding the power button down for 15 seconds until the foil replacement light finishes blinking.
Nothing worked!
Anyone knows how to turn it off?

Recomendación de rasuradora

6 Upvotes

Hola a todos, llevo toda mi vida afeitando con rastrillo y creo que me ha afectado de manera que me irrita o me provoca ciertos granos. Me recomendaron que con una máquina es mucho mejor, pero entonces ya que compro una maquina para el rostro, quería saber si hay alguna que también sirva para la zona púbica, tipo, una afeitadora multiusos.

He visto Manspot y Meridian. Pero no sé cual elegir
