    UPDATE: I finally bought the Braun Series 9 Pro+
    Video 'ere!
    ua-cam.com/video/F5qE5wuEkhs/v-deo.html
    Translations of the day 🇬🇧:
    Chinwag = a conversation
    Init = short for 'isn't it' or 'wasn't it'....a way of leading someone to agree with you...kind of like a nodding gesture in a conversation "that mcdonalds was proper cushty init?"
    Sod = an unpleasant person or someone you feel sorry for "the poor sod lost all his money down the bettin shop"
    Mug = someone's face
    Nicker = 1 pound sterling "that steak meal cost me 20 nicker"
    Geezer = a male, typically an adult man from working class background - likes to drink in pubs, watch football and enjoys an occasional punch up
    Pucker = good, quality
    Lad = opposite of a lady (whatever that means)...but typically being a lad means you're a bit cheeky or blokeish
    Can’t be arsed = can't be bothered
    Nifty = something pleasant..often it has a unique quality about it "that's a nifty new phone case you got there"
    Bosh = a concusionary word ... it marks the ending of a sentence or a point similar to saying "job done, finito, full stop, bish bash bosh"

    This question is an easy one for me. Rotary takes off the most in the shortest amount of time, and the newer 7-8 blades rotaries are replacing the 3-5 head versions. The Braun foil will shave more closely, and it's better for getting under the nose, below the lip, and around the next. I use both, rotary first, then Braun series 7. Combined, they're 95% as close as a blade. If I'm going to a really fancy event, I'll use a blade, but that's only once or twice a year. The benefit of electric is that I can shave every day if I want to. Update: I take that back about using the Braun for under the nose and under the lip. The newer Brauns don't have a head lock feature which my old Braun 7 Series does. You need that feature to be able to do a good job in those hard to reach areas.

    I own 3 new razors. Norelco 5000 aqua touch and the 5000x & a Braun series 3. Both Norelcos shave very well dry, haven’t tried wet shave yet but even though they shave very close and comfortable I can go behind the norelco with the Braun series 3 and it takes off more and feels more smoother but honestly either of the 3 are great razors. You can’t go wrong with either of the 3 razors and all under $70 in the USA. Hope this comment helps someone cause this is my honest review.

    Picked up the Braun Series 5 recently. Combined with a pre-electric shave (Lectric) it gets me a better shave than my DE and with no irritation. For trouble spots I want to smooth out, there's enough slickness to hit it quick with a blade and be done.

    I guess you didn’t read the Philips IQskin brochure. In that manual it reads that after the first two, three shaves the built in sensors provide a map of your face contours and the density of your facial hairs. Thus, from the third shave you should expect a much closer shave than before. I saw that for myself and after a few not so close shaves, now my rotary S5585 shaves the closest I’ve ever seen from an electric shaver. Also, mine has self sharpening technology as well so no need to any other accessories but the tap water.

    That little extra trimmer head is something to really look for. When my old shaver broke, I bought a Braun model that doesn't have the trimmer. Now I can't easily get at the hairs that are too long, and if I forget to shave I'm screwed. Problem is it's a Braun so it's a reliable, quality thing that I've now been stuck with for the past 7 years :D

    Foil seems better, but what about the rotary ones that have an additional trimmer head or the Braun 5 that also has an optional trimmer head? Till we buy one, what do you suggest we clean the Wahl Trimmer with? Older model, but only one that hasn't died on us, newer models die with the first drop.

It didn't shave very close at all, it gave me razor burn and it wasen't very comfortable. my old braun with its its 6 year old head still did a better job. The rotaty one was better at the neck (since the braun one hardly does anything there) but other than that it was just inferior
