A Close Shave

[Marc]

Or not, as the case may be. Blades need changing on my Philishave. I ordered the last lot via ebay a few years ago for about £12 but they seem to be anything from £30 upwards now so figured I may as well invest in a new shaver. I like the Philishave heads, never got on with the foil heads from Remmington, Braun et al. There seem to be so many to choose from though, anyone had good/bad experiences with any of them? Anyone used the wet/dry ones that you can use with foam? The Senso Touch ones are way above my budget but the Aqua Touch ones look interesting.

Oh, and wet (non electric) shaving isn't an option.

Is going au naturel an option? Saves a lot of time every morning and kept trimmed isn't scruffy.

Not really Nod, it gets too itchy and say that the better half hates facial hair is probably the understatement of the millenium!

Have a look on amazon, one or two good reductions on there.
I use the wet n dry Philips, dry when in a rush, wet when going somewhere 'special', works a treat, best shaver I ever bought!

Depillation?

Don't be rude.

Chears. Yes, I had a look on Amazon and there is a Senso Touch for £79. I have Prime and can get it tomorrow if I order i0n the next half hour so I'm tempted.

Depillation?

A daily waxing maybe?

I would Ade but blood loss becomes counterproductive after a while.

Fair and valid point.

Which is what would happen if I tried using one!

You're very emphatic about not wanting to wet shave. Fair enough, it's a personal choice, but do you have a particular reason? I've been doing this since I was a teenager - a long time ago - and have never found anything better!

Physical issues I'm afraid Martyn. My fingers don't work very well and I can't hold/co-ordinate a razor with any degree of competence.

I understand, and I'm sorry you have to cope with this. I really can't offer any suggestions, because I prefer wet shaving and have very limited experience with shavers, but I'm sure you'll find something that works for you. Good luck with the search!

Thanks Martyn. I ordered the Senso Touch in the end as it was a good price and it arrived this morning. I'm at our company conference tomorrow with a gala dinner afterwards so will give it a good test run.
