Recommend an electric shaver

[thespeakerbox]

I'm looking for an electric shaver that i can buy online that does a good job for <100.

What do you use and recommend?

I have used Norelcos exclusively for like a decade now. Instead of replacing the blades (or whatever that part is called), I usually buy the best model there is under $100 every couple of years.

I use a Panasonic 8003. It's an old model that I got about 4 years ago that I don't think you can find it anymore. Was about $300 or so when it first came out but I got it for $129 on Amazon. Pretty amazing shaver and one of the better ones.
I've heard Norelcos are good. Braun makes some good shavers too.

stick to straight razors. I switched 2-3 years back and i havent looked back. Given, i have really coarse hair and it grows fast, so it is easier to maintain with a straight edge imo.

i have a braun and like it very much. i have a old norelco and i prefer the braun better. it was from costco and was around $100. its one of those that you stick in a base and it cleans the blades and leave it smelling lemonly fresh.

I dont have the time or patience for the straight razor . heh. I need something that I can really do on the go.

I don't really have any recommendations, but stay away from remingtons. They tug at your hair more than they cut.

Braun Syncro I think is what I have and like it.

Braun Synchro here too, thumbs up. Those rotating circle ones are terrible imo

My Norelco electric seems to take forever to shave, I have to go over the same spot so many times (my hair is not thick, it's pretty thin blonde hair). It's slower than using a straight edge.

If you really want an electric, stick with Braun. The circular shavers like Norelco's are terrible.

This razor shaves about as well as the more expensive Brauns but doesn't have self cleaning (something I couldn't care less about). And is pretty cheap.

Panasonic has the best electric shavers in my experience.

ive had 3 remingtons... like them more than panasonic...panasonics seem weaker with shorter battery life
