    Looking for an electronic razor/shaver, have enough of this hot water and towel business!
    Anyhow, where’s the best place Dublin city centre to buy?
    What sort of price range?

    Firstly, awesome name, just rolls off the tongue!

    Secondly, electric shavers are bollox imho, they are alot more trouble than they are worth.
    You have to clean them alot and its still very unhygenic imho
    They will give you more spots
    You dont get the fresh feeling you do with wet shaves
    Sometimes it takes ages just to get the feckin thing to cut a patch of hair.

    Basically, you have probably made up your mind already but i would recommend against them.

    I used an electric shaver and got sick of it. The shaver was like 60 bucks and the blades were 30 bucks. It would get dull after a couple of months, and I'm not spending 30 dollars on blades every 3 months.

    I switched back to a normal razor shaver and it is so much better. They are more hassle then they are worth.

    You don't get as good a shave with the electric ones. Not nearly as close.

    Unless it's for your legs or you fancy using it twice a day on your face stick with a real razor for a proper shave.

    I spent e60 on a decent Philips one here in France... never really going the point of the ones with the rotating heads so it's a foil one, and you can simply tip it out and clean it.

    Having said that, I only use it about 50% of the time. The rest of the time, brush, soap and old-school single-blade. It's not as quick, but it's infinitely more pleasurable!

    I got my OH that one with the gel that comes out of it, seems good. But electric razors ain't that great, he uses in sometimes as he has sensitive skin.
