Me too, though I still prefer the Gillete Mach III.

Another vote for Braun Synchro...

 

[Supermercado]

While I use a Mach 3 now, I have a Norelco that I've had for several years. It's not a bad unit and it has a trimmer part that works well when I'm doing touchup work. I used my brother's Remington one time and didn't like it at all. So, even though I don't use it on a regular basis, my vote is with Norelco.

i used to use a remington sports wet/dry shaver... nothing fancy.. but worked great. i prefer alittle fuzz now adays.. so i just use some trimming scissors to groom my moustache/chin area..

Here's a pretty informative website about electric shavers. Some pretty interesting posts.

Here's what I found out on a recent CostCo B&M trip:
$79.99 Norelco ReflexAction 5842XL which appears to be a discontinued model because I can't find any pictures or specs for this shaver. CostCo SKU 388056.

$89.99 Norelco Advantage 6735XD with BONUS which includes 5 additional lotions.

I can get any of the two electric shavers for the USD prices listed above, standard USPS shipping should cost around USD $10. PM me if you are still interested.

Thanks for the update and the offer Ross, but I ended up buying a Braun Syncro a couple weeks back that was on sale at the Personal Edge.

Thanks to all of those who recommended the Syncro as it is an AWESOME shaver.

You're welcome.

How much was the Braun? What's so good about it?

I have a Norelco Reflex Action. Works well for me, but I'm not the hairiest of men.

I have a Norelco Advantage 6705X, with the lotion. Of course he's already made his decision.

It was this unit here. and I ended up paying $169.99CDN for it (down from $229.99) which was a pretty good deal.

The base station automatically cleans the razor in about 5 minutes once you're finished using it, and that is what makes all the difference. A clean razor cuts better and with less irritation, which was EXACTLY why I was switching from the Mach 3. Now that a couple of weeks have gone by, I can get as close as a blade without all the irritation.

I give it a 5 out of 5.

Norelco.

 

[RossMAN]

Cool (or should I say smooth ) that Braun looks nice, I can probably find it for around $120 ... if I can I think I'll buy it.

I like Remington.

 

[BrunoPuntzJones]

There any satisfaction warranty on these guys? I mean I'd sure be disappointed to drop $150+ on an electric and it not work worth a damn.

 

[walrus]

I have been using a Norelco and wouldn't ever switch.

 

[cmdavid]

i tape my Mach3 to an electric toothbrush....

I have a sensitive neck, and the Norelco Quadra Action works like a champ.

The Braun and Norelco units generally come with a 30-day money back guarantee so you can try it to see if you like it. Keep in mind it takes a week or two for your beard to "adjust" to using a electric shaver.

I would also recommend a pre-shave lotion to help the shaver slide a bit better.

Norelco

 

[Sukhoi]

I have a cheapo Norelco that works ok for me. Eventually I'll get a much better Norelco. I like electric as it's so much easier than blades..no water, only takes a sec.

I picked up a braun syncro when I shaved my head and it rocks. No longer needed on the dome but its definitely the best I've ever used. I think the self cleaning option is a rip tho - I passed on that.
