Which Electric Shaver Is The Best?

In My Humble Opinion
1

My Norelco finally dide. I need to get a new one. I have always had the three head Norelco and they work well, but I wanted to get some opinions if any other kinds may be better.

You know like the Braun shavers with the one head that is straight across. Or any other kinds.

What would you men recommend. I have a light beard. If I shave with a blade I can almost get away with not shaving the next day

Thanks

Lifelong Norelco user here. I admit I’m probably somewhat biased, since my dad was also a Norelco man. However, in all the years I’ve used them, they’ve never given me a reason to try a different brand. I’ve had my current shaver, a corded 720RL model, for over twelve years with only a single shaving head change a couple years ago.

Make that a 725RL.

I use a Braun single head with a pop-up trimmer. I have a medium beard and it does a pretty good job. Still use the blade shaver once every couple weeks though, for the neck hairs.

Consumer Reports recently rated electric shavers – I have that issue on my desk at home, open to those ratings, because I’m thinking about replacing my own (women’s) shaver. :slight_smile: I have class after work today, but if you can wait until late tonight or tomorrow morning – and if you’re interested – I’ll try to remember to post their ratings.

I’m home from school, have eaten some food and watched the episode of Heroes that I recorded, and now I’m ready to share electric shaver ratings. :smiley: In rating order:
