Leccy Shaver Advice - BMW 3-Series (E90 E92) Forum

rogerxp · 12-27-2012, 04:16 AM

My electric shaver broke just before Christmas so needs replacing asap. I've had Braun ones for years (twin parallel foils & cleaning solution in the base) and have been happy with them but wondered if Im missing a trick. Do most people use this style of shaver or the triangle of circular foil style?

Any top tips? Would prefer it to be under £100 if poss so wondered whether I could grab something in the sales.

Merry Christmas Rog!

I have a Braun 790 CC new in box, I was bought it last year but never used it as always wet shave.

It seems to get good reviews, let me know if you're interested.

I went from a Philips circular head one to a Braun 390CC a couple of years ago - I find the Braun doesn't shave as closely, but I get far less irritation from it than I did from the Philips. Mind, I only switched because I fancied a change - I'd happily go back to Philips. Sorry, that's probably not much help!

Swings and roundabouts.

I use both - I have a Braun at work (on an oil rig), and Philips at home.
I find that if I use one type all the time, my face seems to become accustomed to it and so it doesn't shave as well, missing the odd hair. Changing type restores a close shave. Maybe I'm just odd

Cheers mate, hope you and the family have had a good one. How much are you looking for as I might as well stick with what I know (still got a few of tje cleaner cartridges unused!).

Not looking for a diary this year mate or wasn't the one I sent all the useful (Im not offended).

I was actually thinking the very same thing so was going to ask for a DNA test

£75 sound alright Rog?

I'm OK for a diary this year mate as I was sent two by suppliers of mine. I guess I must have spent a bit more this year than I did last year!

davyk31 · 12-27-2012, 02:44 PM

Go for the Braun ones that clean themselves when put back in the base, they are great.

SOLD from the man with the cleaner shaven scrotum

. Happy with that mate, ping me your PayPal details and I'll 'gift' it across. Glad you got the diary sorted; always happy to oblige if needed in the future pal.

My wife bought me a Braun one and it tried to rip my face off. I tend to just go for the unshaven look. Drag the clippers over my face while shaving my head every couple of weeks.

rich1068 · 12-28-2012, 05:49 AM

I tried Braun too. Could never get on with electric shavers and it seemed to take an age. Always a bit sore too.

Funny, I find the opposite true!! I'm cleanly shaven in the week but have a break on Saturday & Sunday which means a painful wet shave every Monday! Plus, I can just shave each morning whilst half asleep with an electric shaver.

Don't mind a wet shave for a special occassion but not everyday. Suppose it's just what your skin is used to.

Cheers Will. Just a warning to others who buy anything from Will - the post office staff where I collected my parcel found great mirth in this (don't think they even spotted the website address

)...

mowflow · 01-11-2013, 05:15 AM

Did he leave the shaver switched on so the box was buzzing and vibrating slightly?
