Good electric razor?

Can anyone reccomend one ? I'm not the quickest at shaving and reckon if I get one I could spent 30 minutes more in bed in the mornings before work

I'm living in the UK so take that into account

Not sure, I've always found a Mach 3 to be far more effective than an electric razor at removing the tough facial hair like in the groove of the neck and for getting a close shave.

And it takes you 30 mins to shave :eek:

The best razor i have ever used was , the mach 3 turbo , i shave 3 times a week with it , otherwise i would have to shave 5-6 times a week to stay clean shaven.try it out.Another quick fix is a hot towel shave from a barbers means you wont need to shave 3 days after it , Fan-bloody-tastic

In the morning to do a proper close shave it takes me 30 minutes in total I think... never really timed it. I use the mach 3 as well... basically I'm just not able for shaving in the morning

I.E yesterday morning I picked up a flat mates tooth brush and toothpaste to shave, realising my mistake I then picked up my toothbrush instead and put tooth paste on my face. Eventuaally i figured it out. This was at 7 in the morning... not a morning person.

30 mins to shave?! Toothpaste on face? WTF? I have a bed->desk time in the morning of about 55 mins, meaning that within an hour of my alarm clock going off, I'm working. And I usually manage to fit a good brekkie, shower, shaving, and a 15 mins walk into that!

And to be honest - depends how quickly your hair grows - with any electric I use I'd need to shave twice a day, with a mach 3 or similar, you're clean for a day, and passable for another.

Anyway - my dad swears by his €100 braun electric....

Electric razors and Mach 3 are both for women.

Would you folks reckon the foil type or the round headed type are better? looking into getting a decent electric razor myself.

I am going back to the round headed.

I am tired of paying rushing in the morning with Gilette razors and trying to keep a stock of them in the bathroom.
