Shavers

[Man On The Clapham Omnibus]

Beards vary, apparently. I am not especially hirsute so perhaps mine is more like wet'n'dry?

Another vote for the Remington here, mines a titanium TXT - having tried all the usual types, I find the horizontal foils to cause the least pull and rash. Just changed the foils on mine, cost £14, had it over 3 years so it's doing well! Takes about an hour to charge but lasts a full 60 mins, with a counter to show how much time is left, so normally sees me through a month on one charge.

Wet shave for me.

Electrics wreck me sensitive skin.

Braun Series 7 for me.  Had Braun shavers for 10+ years now and always worked well.  Intensity of shave is adjustable, but I leave mine on full and it never grabs or nicks me.  New foil every 18 months is about £14 so can't grumble, and cleaning system works brill, just drop it in the cradle and press the button, clean charged shaver in 60 minutes.  Battery lasts about a fortnight if away from home.  Never going to be as close as running a naked sharp blade across your skin, but an extremely close shave nonetheless and much less hassle than a wet shave.  Boots usually put Braun shavers on big sale at Christmas time, so check.

How long do you electric shaving men take to have a decent shave?

I average about 7-8 minutes for a very good shave, 10 minutes for a perfect one.

I'm with Scott, I've used mainly Braun shavers for years, my 5 series is being replaced with a 7 series (having one for Xmas), there are some good deals on the 7 series at the moment. like Scott I replace the blade and foil about every 18 months. Normally I need to re-charge every couple of weeks.

 

I'm opposite to some of the others, I did try wet shaving in the past but found that it caused skin irritation so gave up and stuck to electric.

Rhett, you'll notice an improvement with the 7 Series, definitely a closer shave and the cleaning cartridges last longer for some reason.

About 3 minutes, longer if I haven't shaved for a few days

My cleaning cartridge last ages at the moment, the cleaning system gave up a while ago so the last one slowly evaporated. I am looking forward to getting the system back though as it did make a difference. I now have to use the brush and swill technique.

 

I am looking forward to the new shaver though.

That's good the hear, as currently on a Braun series 5, but Mrs has got me a Braun 9 for Xmas, so looking forward to an even closer shave.

 

Been electric all my shaving life, interestingly I find wet shaving gives me spots and itches/ cuts and just never really got on with it.

Don't shave the hat!

I've used all methods and the best & quickest method is a wet shave. Currently using Gillete Quattro multi blade razor and Culmak cream.  Best shave I have ever had  is by a traditional Turkish barber with his cut throat blade, doubt if there is any better method.
