Which wet-shave razor is best?! Sooooo many of them!

Juts spoke out my depression. By the way, the discussion you people did was really helpful for me Thanks to all contributors. electricshaverlab.com/philips-multigroom-3000-review/

Shaving is a delicate procedure that requires exactness as well as security. There are a lot of shavers accessible in the market that does not have any or none of these. In any case, just the Braun shaver can give you an everlasting happy with shaving background that you won't discover in any shavers out there. <a href="https://electricshaverlab.com/remington-shortcut-clipper-review/">Remington SCC100R shortcut clipper review</a>

Ah, that would be why I couldn't find the Tesco Gillette Fusion Rollerball .
Note to self, look at dates of posting!

My DH has a very heavy growth and swears by Gillete Fusion. The blades are expensive, starter packs with blades and razors are about £20+, but it suits DH. I think the blades are interchangeable with other Gillete razors.

Thanks for such a healthy discussion on the topic of shaver. It really help me out in getting valuable insight.

DH also has a Phillips wet and dry rechargeable shaver and he is very satisfied with it. Better wet than dry, he says and he can use it in the shower. The only downside is that when the blades need to be replaced, they are about half the cost of the razor!

Really?
Dormant for the last two years

Great thread.

I bought my son the rollerball, Gillette fusion rollerball. He said it was a good shave until I sent him back upstairs to get the bits he had missed. But then he looked really smooth when he came back downstairs, he's not looked like that for a while. I do think that even young lads want to try to experiment with shaving and have a photo of my son's first shaving experience. This shaver is on offer at the moment at Tesco for £8.00.

DH is swarthy and tbh the only way he can avoid designer stubble is to shave at least twice a day but that's OK because I find it quite attractive. I like manhair (maybe a little to much sharing of info there )

He uses either Wilkinson Sword or Gillette disposables depending which is on special offer. He also has a wet/dry electric shaver which he uses between wet shaves if necessary or when a perfect shave isn't necessary. He finds a good quality gel helps deal with the extra coarseness and strength his whiskers seem to have and also moisturises (Oil of Olay atm) as he finds that also helps soften the whiskers as well as look after his skin.

DS wanted a cut throat razor in his early 20's, so I bought him a lesson in using one. I think he mastered it quite quickly but the fad didn't last (I had awful images of a DIY Sweeney Todd)

DH uses cheap disposables, DS Gillette disposable razors.

Only ever use an electric,much prefer the Philishaves. Tried a braun once, he foil split and took a layer off my face very sore and a lot of blood.
I normally pay around £60, not sure what you get for £200.

I’d recommend Karmin! :p

I've tried many razors over a long period of time and find the best ive ever used is the Gillette fusion power blade.It gives a very smooth shave and i seldom cut myself with it.

The Phillips Aquatouch wet n dry shaver - cost me around £55. He loves the fact that when he's finished with it, he can wash the blades under the hot tap, instead of having to poke around with a little brush and spray cleaner like he did with his old one. I looked long and hard at revues for both the Phillips and the Braun before I bought it. I'd advise anyone to do the same.

In my advertising days - many long years ago - it was impressed on us that the correct term was 'electric shaver', not razor. (We advertised Remington shavers)

Hiya artygran I've never heard of this wet and dry thing. If yr DH gives it a tick of approval though, it must be OK. Which of these is it (there seems to be almost as much choice as there is for ordinary manual razors)??

PS how can one of these electric razors possibly cost £200!

I haven't even dared look at the Brauns, I've always thought of them as even more expensive. I'm passing info on to him, but this wet and dry is a new one

If he likes a wet shave, perhaps a wet and dry electric razor is the answer. I bought one for DH got his birthday - a Phillips, but Braun do one. He was using Gillette blades, but got a bit fed up with the expense of having to keep buying them. He can use his new razor dry, or with shaving gel, or in the shower and is very pleased with it. He had an electric shaver years ago, but says this is much better. And I'm with you all the way, mrsmopp!

I agree - hate the unshaven look. Designer stubble they called it; what tosh!
It looks as if they've been sleeping rough! Not still in fashion is it? Along with low slung jeans that look as if they are falling down!
I must be getting old........

If he is young his beard probably isn't that strong yet so the cheaper razors should suffice until he can decide for himself later. As a grandad I use an expensive electric razor which over the year is cheaper as you do not have to keep buying expensive razor replacements

However every so often I us a wet razor to clean up the longer hairs on the neck and all i use is the cheap disposables available in most supermarkets often 10 for a £1

Sorry I think swarthy is horrid! Why do so many younger guys not bother to shave? They look much better clean shaven imho. And wearing a suit, and with polished shoes, but don't get me started I'll just start by saying - please guys get a proper shave. Daily, or even better twice daily. There, I feel better now

Swarthy is good. encourage this?

'Best' is impossible to answer.
'Most interesting' is easier - it's the cut-throat.
