Anyone have a recommendation on this? I am looking at these 2 shavers:

Braun

Phillips

Seems foil would be easier to shave with but I don't know. I have a $100 Amazon card to burn and I figure to get one of these with the cleaning system. Looking for anyone with experience with electric shavers. The only time I remember using one, it was pulling the hair on my face and hurt

TIA.

They pull and hurt when the blades are dull. I use a Braun. The main thing to remember is it takes your face time to adjust to using an electric razor ,so you mave have some irritation. Order replacement blades every 18 months and you should be good. I also rub powder on my face prior to shaving. Makes for a better one.

I can't help you on the electric shaver, sorry.

But if anyone cares, I just got some of these clippers: LINK

to replace my 10 year old cheaper Oster clippers. I probably could have sharpened the old blades or gotten new ones, but the motor was starting to run hot and sound funny, so I just replaced them

These new ones cut like a hot knife through butter. Seriously, the best clippers I've ever used.

Take a look at the Panasonic line too. I bought THIS about a year ago and really like it. I take blood thinner medication and the blade was causing too many problems so I decided to try an electric. Not as close a shave as a blade but no pulling or irritation which was my original complaint with electric shavers.
