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 wub.gif

Better ask him if he needs one or else will be a waste. I bought one but hardly use it. Still stick to manual shaver.

Hmm why did you revert back to manual one? I thought it'd be a nice upgrade.. to shave cleaner, faster.

manual shaver aka DE shaver that uses blade?

Err I mean like a basic, non powered one... Don't know what kind of blades he use now

Don’t need to overspend. This is one of the best

Thanks for the suggestion. Can it shave clean without using cream?

go for Panasonic, been with mine for over a decade and it still runs perfectly ... just clean it frequently and try not to overcharge to sustain the battery life. Thing about these electronic shaver their chargers aren't your usual typeC, lightning phone cables and they're not sold separately. So if you lose your charger, that's it. My previous Braun unfortunately parted ways with me because the charger was mauled by my exgf's pussy.

nothing worthy to mention, I still occasionally use a blade instead of the shaver when I have the time/special occasion.

... we're talking about shaving the facial part right? I do have a thread about balls shaving too if you're interested:

10 years?! That's very promising to hear.. what's your model? I can probably look up a more recent lineup for more features.
I'm just looking for facial shave for now... But thanks for sharing extra info I guess sweat.gif

P.S. Very unfortunate news about your Braun... Hope you didn't punish the pussy lol

the shopee thingy is a trimer, not a shaver... unless he also like to shave his head.

electric shaver can use with cream, its the basic dry one.

wet ones can use with water, shaving cream, etc...

Ah ok, didn't know the difference... Actually I'm looking for facial shaver only.

This

For TS reference, hair after wet shave vs electric shaver
Faster, maybe. But definitely not cleaner

I also previously went back to manual shave due to itchiness after using electric shaver etc
Now no more shaving, just trimming

check the price of the replacement blades and see if that will work

electric shavers/trimmers always have a net/frame between the cutting blade and the facial hair, so they don't do a smooth shave, but they're safe. A used/worn blade will make a lot of noise whacking the facial hair, before actually making them short enough. They're not really cutting the hair, just whacking and fraying the tips until they break. In the long run, not good for the hair and skin as well.

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?

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

Eeeeeh sad.gif What's taking up the space?

I saw fancy ones like Braun has something called a self cleaning port/station? Is that it?

Judging from many responses so far... I guess I'll lower my budget and start smaller, at least won't feel that bad if it ends up not suitable sweat.gif
