Ok, I have an electric razor now. It is a Remington rechargeable. I
have had it about two years, on its second set of blades and foils.
Expensive razors just cost more when they break, so I buy relatively
inexpensive razors. This one was around $30 after Christmas a couple
of years ago.

I also have an electric 'bladed' razor, a Gillette Fusion that I got
free from a Microchip seminar.

If you want one to last another 25 years, you are out of luck... ;-)

In a recent test from an independant consumer magazine the more
expensive ones from Braun and Philips where te best.

Norelco for those in the US. Any Norelco with a lithium ion should do
the trick, but I always go for top of the line because it takes so long
to kill a Norelco shaver. You don't miss the extra $50 between top of
the line and bottom of the line over a decade or two. In the dark ages,
I would put in new nicad packs, but with lithium ion, they last much
longer. Phillips has battery fuel gauging and charging down to a science.

The blades are damn expensive and lots of price fixing since they seem
to be the same price no matter where you go. If you are a Costco member,
their packaged units tend to have an extra set of blades. That is $25 in
your pocket right there.

The razor I'm using now, I bought in the 70's, it's Philips.
Used a bic quite often too, ok, but messy on my desk.
(Used a dish of warm h2o).
Thanks guys, many of you are potential Santas.

Just make sure you get a crystal controlled model, for that 20 parts per
million precision cut.

I don't know about that.

I have a corded Norelco Reflex Plus going on 20 yrs.

Blades are $10.

It's not as close as a foil, but it doesn't jerk out hairs when the foils break either. :)

You need to try a Chinese style (not just Chinese made) electric razor.
Rechargeable (2.4v), cheap and it is like a cat licking your face. As long
as the hair is fairly short (2-3 days growth at most) they are fantastic
for comfort but not the best in terms of speed. The whiskers come of as a
fine powder which is really weird.

Interesting. Do you have a link or a brand? My face is pretty much
razor intolerant.

I think someone should design smart hair clippers that only snip the grey hairs.
That should be feasible. It could do split ends, too.

You wouldn't want to get the shade setting wrong.
