I've never used an electric razor in my life, I've been using the Mach 3 power now for a couple years and am afraid to put the Electric up to my face. Can you share some helpful tips to ease my transition?
FYI, I have very sensitive skin, always shave in a hot shower and I usually only shave 3 or 4 times a week. My stubble grows in every possible direction and in one point it spirals to a point! Thanks in advance for all your help!
I've never used the Philips gel shaver but I have used the standard model until recently. I also have sensitive skin and a horrible growth pattern and I need to shave daily.
The Philips should get everything regardless fo direction though you will need to go over it a couple of times - I'm not sure of the effect of the gel.
I now use a Braun Activator and find it to be really good. It handles the different directions of growth and is more tender on the skin (rotary shavers like the Philips are not the best for sensitive skin), and I get a closer shave. I bought it on a try it for 60 days and if you don't like it bring it back for a full refund deal.
Hope this helps. Buying a shaver is a hard thing to get right because you normally can't try before you buy and the good ones aren't cheap.
