What is the best men's electric shaver for tough whiskers?
January 13th, 2011
About 25 years ago I had an Olster professional electric shaver, a foil head shaver, and it did a fantastic job but as my whiskers got tougher I had to switch to a rotary head shaver, a Norelco triple head shaver. But it got to where it pulled on the whiskers and pinched and so I switched to a blade razor. I am just so fed up with the hassle of a wet shave blade razor and I want to go back to an electric shaver if I can find one which is comfortable and can shave my tough whiskers as close as a blade razor. That Olster professional electric shaver was very comfortable and would shave as close as a barber razor but my whiskers was only about half as tough then as they are now. I just wish I could find an electric shaver which can shave my tough wire-like whiskers as comfortably and as close. I have asked my brothers and my friends about the razors they use and most of them say their experience is about the same as mine except for one friend who says his whiskers are also thick and tough to shave and he swears the Braun 760CC shaver he uses gives him a fantastic close shave and does not pull or pinch. So I went shopping for one and found it at a Target store. But yikes! The price was 9.99, although I bought it anyway. That was an expensive mistake though. It is comfortable and it does shave close but it takes a long time because it misses whiskers. Is there anyone here who knows of a better electric shaver for a man with thick whiskers?
