Electric shaver recommendations?

Look for models compatible with the replacement foil&cutter of your remington.

If you were satisfied with it, why change completely?

Then you're better off browsing amazon for models with good reviews and find what most complaints are about.

There are way too many models and too few users here. Usually a shaver with 100+ reviews and 4+ stars is a good sign.

i have a phillishave for when im in a hurry, does the job, not a huge fan of electrix shavers.

as for the remmington, because of you i have the image of victor kiam stuck in my head "i bought the company"

I've been happy with my Panasonic ES-LA93K. It's got the cleaning stand and works really well. There is another model - forget the name - that is the same unit without the cleaning base if you don't want that. I know they sell that one at Target for $149 or so.

Replaced a 7 year old Braun that started ripping my face up after they "improved" the foils.

My facial hair is a total nightmare as well. The Braun shavers are a lot like the old Remington's. The automatic clean and charge dock is fantastic.

A bit off topic, but why not consider going old school and trying a straight razor?

I have a Norelco I bought circa 20 years ago. I replace the heads every year and replace the soldered-in battery pack every 4 years or so (whenever it no longer holds a charge). It works.

I'll second the Braun recommendation - I have had two Norelcos. Good shaves but they would always irritate my neck. None of that with the Braun, and it drops into a cleaning / charging station which keeps it working smoothly! I'm sold on them!

reply to cowboyro
I find the Norelco SensoTouch models work quite well for a very close smooth shave.

I've tried a few electric razors over the years, and I've never liked them.. they've always done a poor job comparatively and my face is always irritated after using one. Right now, I'm using the Gillette Fusion, and it's probably the best safety razor on the market... smooth shave with no razor burn or nicks.

But if you know what you are doing and have the time... there's nothing like a straight razor shave.

"Hair is too thick and hard for blades, makes shaving painful. Every time I had to use blades I ended up with cuts and ingrown hairs..."

Shave more often and quit going against the "grain" (the opposite direction the hair is growing). Thats what is causing the ingrown hairs.
The last part of that post, I'm not going there. Manscape away. :P

I've tried several electric shavers, NONE ever did as good of a job as a multi-bladed razor did (Gillette Fusion is my current one and has been for several years)

Grow a beard . Being part Yeti myself, finding a good razor seems like an impossible task. My wife calls my hair "stalks". Razor blades just make a mess and cause ingrown hairs.
The best electric razor I've met is an older corded Remington Flex-foil type.
2nd best is Norelco Sensa Touch.

If someone refers to herself / himself as a "guru", they probably aren't.

reply to Bob
I've lost track of how old my Norelco is- probably between 10 and 12 years old. Nothing has ever been replaced on it- still has the original heads and battery pack.

reply to cowboyro
Another vote for Philishave/Norelco. I've been using their rotary shavers for the past 30 years (I'm on my third one now) and I have to say that they simply work and work well. I wouldn't shave with any other electric.
