I’m thinking of buying an electric shaver (facial hair just started coming in, and my dad never shaved so I don’t really know what to do with this whole “razor” business). So, what models/brands would you suggest?

Do a search on the SDMB for razor, shaver, etc… and I am sure you will find similar threads.

I used a Braun for years, got a Norelco when my Braun died while traveling and have never looked back…which I still find surprising.

I use a Norelco as well. Works great.
