You sound the same as me Belmit. I'm tempted to see if I'll get on with it and if it's any easier or quicker....but I don't want to spend £30 if it isn't. But then again, £30 is a much better risk than £100 to find out you don't like it.

Exactly. I'm in two minds. I like the idea of the convenience, and even the fact that it won't be as close as a wet shave. I only shave a couple of times a week but I don't like that fresh-faced look on the first day - much prefer the short stubble 24 hours later. I'm wondering if this will give that same look.

I was in the middle of typing out a big response with a few analogies in it, then realised that this is meant to be a lot more than it is

Give it a go

I'm exactly the same as you mr cheese.... Shave every couple of days but generally end up making a mess - I am a little concerned that an electric one would cause irritation though...

SidewinderINC · 05-03-2008, 21:01

if you shave every couple of days, yes it will definately cause irritation.

Around the neck is where I get irritation, none whatsoever on my face.

I have a very similar one I got about 4-5 years ago for £60 I think, needs new blades but does the job for me as I'm far too lazy to wet shave every day! (Albeit haven't shaved in 2 months now :P)

Got it today, well built and can even open the top bit and rinse clean. Very nice product for £29, not sure it's worth £90, prob in the £60 bracket if i were to pay full wack for it.
