Electric shaver recommendation

[Jetot]

Hi all, after 25 years of wet shave and razors I am considering getting an electric shaver, like on this url - mostly to save a bit of time. Any recommendations on what kind of product I should be after? I have some sensitive skin under my chin so need something that can deal with that and not irritate it more!! Thanks.

Well, my avatar should provide proof of my experience with razors...
I have both foil (Braun) and rotary (Norelco, Remington) style razors. I have generally gotten the job done quicker with the rotary style razor. Particularly if I've let hair grow a bit longer. Rotary head razor with "slots" as well as "holes". I think they cover more surface area at a time than the foil head style. Also, I believe a pre-shave product is important. Something like the old "Lectric Shave". It's really mostly fragrance and alcohol. I think the alcohol tightens up the skin a bit, making the hairs stand up, thus easier to cut.

So, a vote for mid-range Remington or Norelco style if you're going electric. Some models seem to be marketed toward users with sensitive skin. YMMV, of course.

Keep in mind too that it will take several weeks for your hair/skin to get used to the electric shave. Stick with it until this happens. I’ve found that it’s easier to shave with an electric razor about 10 minutes after showering, having allowed the hair/skin to dry.

You may need to get some new underclothes too...

My skin is also very sensitive. I use a 5 head electric shaver razor and shaving cream, after shaving, I will use after shaving water, or alcohol-free toner.
