Hello everyone,

I'm in the market to buy a new electric razor. I am wondering if any of you could suggest a make or model that has worked well and has been reliable for you.

I do not need anything super fancy just something that is higher quality than the 30.00 razor that I bought at Walmart 4 years ago.

If any of you have worked as a barber or hairdresser I would be especially interested to hear your opinion on this matter.

Thanks,

CFL

My Braun razor does a pretty good job

There's a resort made just for that purpose. The brand is Scull Shaver.

I think about this from time to time.

Just the other day I almost bought an electric shaver to do this.

I'm most curious about how often you have to replace the blades and how much they cost.

I bought an Panasonic ER-GB80-S electric razor for quality and reliability in 2018. I haven't been disappointed.

7 years that's pretty good reliability, considering how things are built these days.

Have you tried shaving your head with it? And if so, how close of a shave do you get?
