I bought a panasonic ES7102 last year, because I wanted a change from always wetshaving. I think it came top in a which review of electric shavers.
I'm not sure if you can use it straight off the mains, but it's damn good used "wet", and pretty good dry.

I've just made a profound electric razor related breakthrough.
If a rather obvious one now. While the whole (triple) shaving head of my two razors are close but tantalisingly different in shape and therefore not interchangeable. The actual darned circular head objects and the actual blades that fit inside (the round bit with sharp parts) appear to be identical in size! So to get my old shaver working at full health again, all I need to do is swap these with the new cheaper model and change the battery without breaking it. Boomed.

I had a Phillips rechargeable electric shaver (the ones you can use in the shower while you're pot noodling at the same time as you are squirting the white soothing shaving gel over your face) and every few years replaced the blades when it started to tug.
Lost the recharger and ended up getting a cheaper Phillips version ~ £50 (promotional discount Jenson Button branded bollox). Still OK, although the charge only lasts a week and a half rather than the month I almost got with the old one.
Agree with Bloshie - switching from one to the other is all about allowing time for the beard to adjust.

What the finished effect like?Originally posted by northernladuk View PostI am exactly the same but have thick stubble so might not suit us. I have a shadow even after a wet shave
Its also a myth leccie's are only any good for certain types of stubble.
The main thing about a leccie is, if you've used a wet shave for years your skin wont take to a leccie straight away. It can take upto 3 or 4 weeks for your skin to adapt.
People 'try' leccie's for a week or so then say they are no good. Its too quick.
Besides, wet shave removes skin cells so you're effectively using a bacon slicer on yer face.
Wouldnt go back to a wet shave if you paid me tbh.

My old (more than 10 years, but it was top-end at the time) electric shaver started to pull hairs out as much as cut and the battery had packed-up some time previously, so it was being used from mains only in the end. I have replaced the battery in the past but that was expensive - I couldn't figure out how to get to the battery myself without breaking the razor.
Anyhow the new cheap razor is not much better than the old worn out one and is without its bells and whistles (such as incorrectly displaying of the number of shaves left). I've kept the old razor and may yet try and get to the battery again one day. The heads would still need sharpening or replacing though.

Best electric shaver - sub £150.
My trusty philishave leccie isnt giving the best results anymore. I could buy some new heads but as Ive had it for going on 3 years, I think its best to invest in a new leccie shaver.
Not into wet shaves any more. Far too messy and painful frankly.
So, been looking at the different shavers out there. The philishave is a rotary type but what about the foil shavers like Braun? How do the foil shavers compare to the rotary head type?
Any suggestions on the best type of leccie shaver for sub £150? Must be mains and rechargable ie not recharge only.
So far, these two seem good, the Braun 560 at £75 http://www.shavers.co.uk/shopping.php?product_id=839
or
another philisave HQ8250 at £82 http://www.shavers.co.uk/shopping.php?product_id=853Tags: None
