| 774908 | 2009-05-18 08:34:00 | I just bought my first ever electric shaver today. Actually I asked my brother to buy it for me and he bought the most damn expensive model available in New Zealand! haha Anyway, I tried it out today and man oh man... it's sure gonna take a bit of learning after using a wet razor after 30 years! |

| 774910 | 2009-05-18 08:53:00 | how much?Asking price was around 530. Salesman probably needed to meet his monthly quota and sold it for 450. | Greg (193) | ||
| 774911 | 2009-05-18 08:57:00 | The difference between a $500 shaver and a $150 shaver is? | stormdragon (6013) | ||

| 774913 | 2009-05-18 09:07:00 | Does it use petrol or diesel? | Driftwood (5551) | ||
| 774914 | 2009-05-18 09:08:00 | A good (usually expensive) electric shaver will last more than 10 years, although $450 seems steep. I would have bought a goodie at Briscoes by waiting till they are half price. What model did you get? |

| 774915 | 2009-05-18 09:15:00 | I've only used a Philishave like 15yrs ago which is still working. Just want to know, if modern electric shavers can do the following. Over the years I have preferred manual shavers because I get a smoother softer refreshing shave on the skin. Occasionally when I do use the Philishave, it does not feel refreshing and the skin kinda feels dry and when you look at it, it has white flaking on the face / chin. How good are modern electrics in that regard? |

| 774916 | 2009-05-18 09:19:00 | Yeah, a dry shave can cut and burn, and cause a rash, which has taken my face many years to harden to. A wet shave however only causes rare cuts if I'm careless. However, the dry foil cuts off the equivalent of 6 or so extra hours of growth compared to a wet blade. ie the foil gives a much closer cut. While it might be a pain (literally, your lady at least will probably appreciate the difference. Sudden crazy thought - anybody ever wax their facial hair? |

| 774917 | 2009-05-18 09:44:00 | I have yet to find an electric razor that gives a smooth shave. I use electric out of convenience. I don't shave on Saturdays and use a mach 3 on Sundays. Seriously, despite all the claims, it doesn't matter how many twisy, turny, uppy, downy, "actually pulls your hairs up and then cuts them" bits and bobs a shaver has, nothing beats a real shave. |
