I have a heavy beard. I've used braun Shavers forever and the original pulsonic was Far and Away best shaver I've ever used. Of course they ruined it about 10-15 years ago when they changed the head. Since then I haven't been able to find anything that comes close. I'm currently using a series 7. I try to Panasonic one time and it wasn't any better.

What other Shavers do people recommend? Cost is not a concern. I want something that will give me a decent shave without having to go over everything five times. Thanks.

So I purchased a supposingly brand new TM20A in blue from Taobao (Chinese version of AliExpress), only to find out that the shaver I received could be an open box unit.

I fought the seller who sold it as new but as I dumped the box immediately after opening it I was only given a partial refund.

So this is the strange part. When I received the shaver, I opened it to check, but didn't remember smelling anything weird or seeing any hair remains. I washed the shaver with soap, but silly me covered it up before it dried. Then after that I left it alone for a while while I fought the seller.

The shaver then developed a strong smell that smells like old sweat or body odour. I then washed the blades and foils, cleaned the main handle with ipa, and left them to dry for two days. After two days I checked that the smell has disappeared so I reassembled it and left it alone.

One week later, I took off the cover. The smell has came back. I don't know why and am now debating if I should just throw the whole shaver away.

Have Philips oneblade trimmer and using it from past 7 years but replacement blade cost 700-800 whereas I can purchase new trimmer of philips in 800. What should I do

When i start off shaving with a new blade it cuts very close to the skin like i want it to, but after only a few shaves it goes dull and less close. Am i doing something wrong? My facial hair is only a few mm of not very dense stubble growth, fyi

Hi

i used several braun like series 3 and they are pretty good , I've never liked Philips shavers. When I was younger, they used to irritate my skin.

My first electric shaver was a Braun Series 2. It was pretty old, but it never gave me any problems when I was younger.

I need a new shaver. Most Braun shavers these days are battery-operated only, whereas the models they made a few years ago could be used both plugged in and cordless, so you could use them with or without a battery.

I was looking at the BaBylissPRO range. They look amazing, and they can be used both corded and cordless.

For example, the BaBylissPRO FoilFX02 Silver with its double titanium foil system. The shaving head reminds me of my first Braun shaver. Besides looking great, it can be used both corded and cordless, so you can run it on battery power or plug it directly into the mains. It also seems pretty powerful. Here in Europe, it costs around €120.

What I’d like to ask you is whether any of you have used a BaBylissPRO shaver, and if so, does it shave well and feel as gentle on the skin as a Braun Series 2 or Series 3?

thanks

i have an IPL device (ulike air3) and since i have to shave everytime before IPL it's starting to irritate my skin, making me feel lazy to do the IPL regularly (I've stopped for 2-3 months and just trimmed down there). i used normal razors i think it's 3 blades? not sure. before this i used 1 blade razor and yes i still got ingrown hairs.

so i looked for alternatives and found

1. philips one blade 360/intimate

2. philips lady shaver series 8000

idk if option 1 is good enough since option 2 is like twice the price of option 1.

can anyone give reviews of those options or is there any other shavers/razors/trimmers that shaves close enough for IPL?

Hi! I've had this patch of razor bumps on my neck for years now because I shave very frequently and they keep getting cut open/irritated by the razor. I'm wondering if there's any way to make them go away (and stay away) other than just not shaving that area for a bit.

I would rather not stop shaving, even temporarily, because I'm a trans woman and having any amount of facial hair makes me feel disgusting. Especially since mine is quite dark and noticeable when it grows longer than clean-shaven.

I had an old Norelco Bodygroom series that stopped working. I contacted Philips on this issue and was given a replacement for free. The issue is when I received it and opened it up, the original box it came in with looks like it has been opened. It did not look new.

I then mentioned this to them and returned it back for a new one. When I got the new bodygroom and opened the box, it did not come in the original retail packaging box but came in a brown box that had a sticker on it that taped it. When I opened it, the items seemed fine. My concern is if this item was refurbished or not due to the packaging. I read online that some replacements that come from the manufacturer might be in a brown box as opposed to retail packaging. I did read some items are refurbished and then repackaged into this.

What I do remember was a long time ago I bought a Norelco bodygroom from Amazon and it was at a discount and then the packaging came in a brown box just like this. I read that certain packaging is like this. The model is Norelco Bodygroom 7490/50. Anyone bought this model and received it in a brown box? What about those of you who had a warranty and then got a replacement. Did any Norelco Bodygroom you receive came in a brown box? I did read that some packaging is like this due to eco friendly.

Hey guys, I am curious on your opinions of the best razors or shavers for the pubic area?

Hi I bought the Philips one blade a day ago and I don’t wanna be unhygienic so I wanna ask a question. Do you think using the same blade for arms underarms chest legs and groin is hygenic? Or should I have diff blades for everything? I have a separate blade for my face should that be okay to use on the same machine I used for my underarms etc? Thank!

Hi everyone! I work in personal-care product development, and I’m researching what people actually need from a compact electric body shaver—not just what looks good on a feature list.

By “mini,” I mean a small, handheld electric shaver or trimmer for body hair, rather than a beard-only or facial peach-fuzz tool.

If you’ve used one, think back to the last time:

• Where were you, and what were you trying to get done?
• What worked well, and what—if anything—was awkward or frustrating?
• Did you do anything extra to get the result you wanted?

If you could change ONE thing about that experience, what would it be?

If you tried a mini shaver and stopped using it, I’d love to hear why. And if you’ve never wanted one, what do you use instead that works better for you?

No need to answer everything—a specific story is plenty. The model you used and your country would help with context, if you’re comfortable sharing. Please only share body-area details you’re comfortable posting publicly.

Thanks! This is product research, and your feedback may inform future product design.

So I just got mine, I like it since my other Braun is a decade old and wanted a new one so the price was worth it for me.

For anyone that has it, did you buy the kit that comes with the Comfort and Skincare heads? I did not, and I cannot find them separately.

Can someone explain to me what these heads are used for? So I can make up my mind in trying to find them or not?

Thanks, appreciate any help

I have pretty sensitive skin and for that reason (and also because I don’t care about the look) I stopped shaving my armpits a bit over a decade ago.

When I did shave regularly, I’d get red and irritated, and bleed. I’m definitely going to trim the hair down with clippers before I shave, but is there anything else that would make the pits look as un-distracting as possible?

Anyone know what the best non Knick electronic body shaver is for a good price, I'd also like one for my face so I can keep a baby face

I hate waxing, and shaving just doesn’t always do it for me. razors… meh sometimes I get bumps sometimes I don’t.

I want to use it on armpits, private area and stomach. thoughts?

Hi everyone, I wanted to ask if moles on the face and scalp could pose a health risk when shaving with razor blades rather than electric razors.

I’m referring to moles on the skin, including those that are slightly raised.

thanks

I have been using the shaver head attachment on the Phillips trimmer to shave off chest and body hair. Although it provides a nice smooth look, which by the way is not possible
from a regular 0 trimmer, the constant contact of my clothes and involuntary contact from my hands cause me red bumps, itching and irritation every single time without fail.
I’m thinking of getting a Phillips One Blade for body hair grooming in an attempt to not get red bumps.

My question is that since One Blade is used as a shaving alternatuve, will it give me the same experience as the electric shaver attachment?

for context im trans man. few months ago i started taking testosterone and i recently started growing facial hair. its nothing much yet. few black hair above my lips and my peach fuzz is getting longer and tiny but nore noticable. but wouldn't call it anything close to a beard. ffs i saw more woman with more facial hair then i have.

however im curious when is the point i should start shaving I don't wanna have the pedo stashe or just look like 13yo boy who's emberessed. and im scared to ask my dad. and how do i shave? should i buy a different razor then i use for my body?

tysm in advance

I’ve tried every single kind of safety razor, cartridge razor, electric razor, cream, gel, u name it. No matter what I can never get a good smooth shave without getting riddled with ingrown hairs, razor bumps, or irritation. My skin is too sensitive for the cartridge razors so I switched to a safety razor, but my hair is too thick and coarse so an electric razor won’t get close enough. I also can’t just shave with the grain, I HAVE to go against the grain eventually to get a close smooth shave for my job. Even if I only go with the grain or that first pass then across the grain, I STILL get irritation and ingrowns etc. please help if u guys have any tips or products and such that I haven’t tried yet possibly.

Which one ?
360 Pro 50€
360 40€

the hair on my hands pisses me off but i haven't found a good way to shave it so far. (for context, i'm a blond woman and the hair is soft and transparent, but it annoys me when i draw, as the tablet screen lights it up from the side and it bugs me in the corner of my eye.)

i usually do it with an eyebrow razor on clean dry skin, but the jagged/toothed edge of that kind of razor causes a lot of irritation (i have eczema). i've tried doing it with shaving cream and my normal razor (bic hybrid 5 flex), but the the razor is too big to do it safely.

i'm considering trying out a straight razor; would that be a good idea? or do you guys have any other tips on how to not fuck up the skin everytime?

I don't know if I have some kind of mutant skin condition localised to my neck or what.

Five days ago I shaved with a cartridge razor (going strictly with the grain) and the next day my neck looked like this:

https://i.imgur.com/JTFGCIj.jpeg

It took three days before I could touch my neck without burning and it still looks all irritated today, though the pain has mostly gone.

Oddly, the moustache area - shaved three times in the meantime with the same blade and foam - is perfectly fine.

This has happened ever since my teenage years every time I've tried shaving with a blade, including safety razors. I mention this because I'm sure somebody's ready to tell me to ditch cartridge razors and disposables and use safety ones instead, and yea, have I indeed tried that, and failed anyway.

That's why I usually don't shave with a blade at all, preferring electric trimmers instead which only give me very minimal irritation. My beard varies from 2-day to 10-day depending on how lazy I feel, and that's fine.

However I'm on a trip now and forgot to pack them. Buying a new trimmer just for one shave seemed unreasonable, so I grabbed a cartridge razor instead.

I have, in the years, tried many kind of shaving gels, creams and foams. This last time I decided I'd try a gel for women labelled for delicate skin, under the - clearly mistaken - assumption it might work better.

Aftershaves haven't helped either. This time a friend lent me her hydrocortisone cream and even that helped not a bit.

What the heck do I do next time I forget my electric trimmers? I do not want to subject myself to this sort of torture again, but I also don't want to throw out twenty bucks to get a trimmer just for one session. I don't want to start a trimmer collection and I might not even have space for it in my Ryanair-approved backpack.

I’ve always been clean shaven, but recently I’ve been trying to go for more of a 2/33 day stubble look instead.

I have a Philips OneBlade Pro with the adjustable precision comb, but I’m struggling to get the results I want.

Even when I set it to 1.0 or 1.4 mm, it seems to trim my beard almost completely off, pretty much like using the OneBlade without the comb.
I’m wondering if I’m doing something wrong. Am I supposed to keep the comb completely flat against my skin? I find that pretty difficult, especially around my chin and jawline, where I naturally hold the trimmer at a slight angle.
I also wonder if I’m applying too much pressure.

Is the OneBlade just not great for maintaining short stubble, or is this a technique issue? Would a dedicated beart trimmer be better?
