- a couple months back I inquired about electric razors and got suggestions
- for norelco, braun , and panasonic. I decided to go with the norelco
- 805RX ($48 at wal-mart). It seems to shave well , although I didn't think
- it was close enough. it operates quietly. but alas, after only a month
- and a half, one of the plates on one of the razors fell off! although
- I could have just glue it back on myself, I did not feel like a $50 item
- should have that kind of quality so I returned the razor back.
-
- Now I got a brand new Braun 2000 (2-position) ($47 at wal-mart). It definitely
- shaves closer than norelco, will work with or without the cord (norelco 805
- only works cordless). downside, it is VERY noisy and it feels like you are
- holding a massager on your hand due to the strong vibrations. other advantages,
- replacement blade is cheaper ($15 compared to $20 for norelco), more compact
- in size, has autovolt feature (works anywhere from 12v-220v AC or DC).
- I do like the pop-up trimmer of norelco better than braun, braun's trimmer is
- too close to the foil and might catch your sideburns. well, I'll just see
- how long this thing last.
