Smokinal Posted November 5, 2014 Posted November 5, 2014 So I have a Braun Activator thats about 8 yrs old and pretty worn out. I've replaced the cutter and foil many times but it just doesn't work like it used to. What brands are you guys using these days? Any new technology out? Foil or rotary? Quote
Super User Darren. Posted November 5, 2014 Super User Posted November 5, 2014 I've got a Braun Series 7 that's about 3 years old. Replaced the foil once. Works well. I also shave with a blade, depending on the day and the time I have I was reading of a new razor that's $300 and out this fall. Supposed to be new tech, closest electric shave ever. I'm looking for the link in another tab, will post when I find it. Edit: Here you go, via TechCrunch. The Philips Norelco 9700 1 Quote
Super User Scott F Posted November 5, 2014 Super User Posted November 5, 2014 I've been using Norelco's for 40 years. Then again, I have had a full beard for 30 plus years so I only use it for my neck and trimming. 1 Quote
Super User clayton86 Posted November 5, 2014 Super User Posted November 5, 2014 I use a norelco 6100 Series for when I'm on active duty and drill weekends other wise it's no shave November 2 Quote
Smokinal Posted November 6, 2014 Author Posted November 6, 2014 Well, after some more reading, I think I'm going with the 790CC from Braun. http://www.braun.com/us/male-grooming/series-shavers/series-7.html I like the one I have, this one just has an updated cutter system and a couple more features. Reviews are through the roof on it. Thanks guys. Quote

If my work didn't require me to shave I probably wouldn't. I was just off for 2 weeks on FMLA with my wife and it was nice not having to shave every day, or at all Quote
Super User Oregon Native Posted November 13, 2014 Super User Posted November 13, 2014 I'm lucky...usually use a cheap bic...one will last a couple weeks or so. Usually just use water if I keep up on it..if not will use some kind of gel. One can lasts months. Have done this for over thirty years Quote
lordpaxin Posted November 18, 2014 Posted November 18, 2014 Vote for Braun series 7 I grow steel wool on my face and the Braun never even petered a little Quote
Smokinal Posted November 18, 2014 Author Posted November 18, 2014 After a week of owning it, I would recommend this thing to anyone. It's amazing; smooth, as quiet as you could expect, fast and just works great. I'm very happy with it. Quote
I.rar Posted November 18, 2014 Posted November 18, 2014 Lol I use the same Wahl clippers on my face that I use on my head. Works great, fast and they're cheap. I've tried electric trimmers but they all want to pull hair rather than cut. Quote
ThatZX14Fella Posted November 18, 2014 Posted November 18, 2014 I have $20 Wahl clippers. They're cheap and I can't grow anything anyways. Lol Quote
