What an insight, did not know electric shaver need to do tedious maintenance. I still prefer gillette mach3 turbo.

haha, Mach3 da best.

It gets greasy inside, too, with our sebum and what not.
Some parts are fragile, and often mistakes can be expensive.

Electrical shavers are like printers, they really sell the replacement blades and shaving foam.

I'm surprised to see such a difference under microscopic view 😱
Thanks for the insight.. I'm curious to know how it feels to touch though...? If "fraying the tips until they break" means the hair is less prickly to touch then that's actually better imo lol. How is it bad for the skin exactly? Does ingrown hair happen more often or something?

I have used Trimmer, Shaver and Double Edge Safety Razor (or DE razor).

Both Trimmer (below RM100) and Shaver (RM200+) are under Philips. DE you can explore this new shop called CHARMWISE.

Here's my comment and rank from the cleanest.

1) DE Razor: DE Razor definitely shaves the smoothest. There are lot of things to explore from the razor, to shaving soap, post-shaving cream etc. So the journey is more interesting than electric trimmer or shaver. DE might take longer time initially until you get used to it. Can do dry/wet.

Smoothness: 1st
Time taken: 2nd
Control: 2nd
2) Trimmer: If I need to shave fast, this is my go to. Although not as smooth as DE Razor, I think it's definitely smoother than shaver since shaver can miss a spot. I bought mine for a sub RM100 and only use this for dry shave without cream. Unlike DE razor where you definitely need shaving cream/soap to prevent from nicking, Trimmer can have better control in styling because your mustache/beard is not covered by soap/cream.

Smoothness: 2nd
Time taken: 1st
Control: 1st
3) Shaver: I bought 2 shavers - one the cheaper option and the other one more expensive, thinking it will do a better job than the cheaper one. BUT I WAS WRONG. Both are equally bad. It's hard to shave and sometimes you miss a spot so it takes more time to complete the shave. Due to it's design, it's impossible to get the smoothest using shaver. (Disclaimer: I am not sure how other brand of shaver would do)

Smoothness: 3rd
Time taken: 3rd
Control: 3rd

Hi guys, I want to buy one for my bf but there's so many choices I'm a little overwhelmed. What I seek:
- Budget 500, can go higher if ticks all my boxes
- smooth shave if possible
- wet/dry use
- convenient to use (cordless, decent battery etc.)
- durable (3+ years would be nice!)

Note: he still uses good ol' manual shaver, and I read that it takes time to get used to and there's difference in the usage/technique... Please share your experiences if any!

Some of these brands came up in my search... Any specific model to recommend?
- Braun
- Philips
- Panasonic
- Xiaomi

Thanks in advance 

My partner bought me one last time .. I dont like to use because it take so much space .
