Not the bargain of the century, but a bargain IMO nonetheless for anyone wanting a 3 headed rechargeable Philips shaver - works out under €30 delivered (don't use amazon exchange rate converter).

Has the quick recharge facility unlike the other budget models - it's the one on the far right below:

Got one of these in january, while its fine it still uses the old style heads and pulls the face off you if you don't shave daily this one is much better, totally different heads, best electric razor I've ever tried:

Interesting - I actually am using that one now - so will test it against the one I have purchased when it arrives!

Always have wet shaved lads but thinking about going for one of these yokes. C'mere, I shave my locks straight across, I like em sharp. How do you manage to shave the beard below the locks 'straight across' with one of these?.

there's a pop-out trimmer which you just press straight into the locks where you want a straight across line then just shave underneath. easy enough.

Note that the one you refer to I crossed out in the graph in my original post as it takes 8 hours to recharge and does not run on mains. For same price the amazon one is the one to go for.

never used an electric shaver before, just wondering how close a shave it does? I use a mach3 and its good but expensive to replace the blades, but ill only get one of these if its as good or better cause to be frank I look like **** with stubble.

don't buy an electric if you want to achieve the same results as a blade

I don't think you will ever get that. My opinion anyway!

You won't be walking around with half a sheet of jacks roll on your face though!

Takes a while for your mush to get used to an electric razor, but they can be very handy. You can shave while making a cup of tea / driving the car / use your imagination.
