Hey guys I want to buy an electric shaver. I hate blades, they suck, even the Mach3 Turbos. Can anyone here recommend me a good electric shaver?

I have the Panasonic ES8092NC from Target for 95 bucks. I dont' think they normally carry it, which was why it had a nice red tag on it. :) Should do great, 13000 rpm. :)

I love it.

EDIT: Sharper image uses the same razor I think, but replaces the battery lights with a little lcd thing and charges another hundred bucks for it.

When it comes to electric shavers, there's really no one feature that you really want to overpay for. I mean, a shaver is a shaver. I've had my Braun $25 (Black Friday at BB deal) since BF and it's perfectly fine, on the same first charge (I use it for about a minute every 2 days). Waterproof washable too...

I had a $20 waterproof Panasonic one from about 1996 that finally broke just before I bought this one.
 

I have a basic Norelco 5801XL and it's great. I would like one that I can use in the shower, but for the two years I've had this non-waterproof one, it's been great.

I have a norelco 6885xl( i think thats it) I just use it for in the car if I forget to shave or if its been a few days. Otherwise I 'll take a blade anyday.

I have a Norelco Spectra that I got for christmas, works pretty well although it doesn't even compare to the Mach 3 Blade.

Not necessarily While driving but if I get somewhere and realize I forgot to shave its allways with me...If I had a purse it'd be in there:D

I have a mid-range Norelco that works well. It doesn't give me as close of a shave as a good blade would, but the convenience makes up for it.

I'll never go back to an electric shaver again. When i had my philishave a long time ago a found i had to keep going over the same area again and again until all the hair was finally gone. Mabye electrics are better now, but i find it easier to just use a mach 3.

Hail hail the Mach3!

I was given an electric Norelco when I was in junior high, and I used it until undergrad when my GF dropped it (while she was shaving her legs with it!!). All I had at the time were stupid Bic disposables. I cut the crap out of myyself, but also noticed how much better a shave I was getting.

I tried out the Mach3 after a few months, and I've never gone back to electric.

Have you guys tried the mach3 turbo champion? I saw a commercial for it on nascar.

And has anyone tried the 4 blade schick one?
