Leccy Shaver Advice
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 Mike |

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!

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.

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 )...
