I don't have a very heavy beard. I can get away with shaving every couple or 3 days without looking too bad. However, I imagine it would be nice to be able to clean myself up with an electric shaver now and then, in between blade shaving.
What do you guys recommend for this? I appreciate your thoughts and experience. Is this a good one? (I have no idea) https://us.braun.com/en-us/male-grooming/electric-shavers/series-9-pro-9465cc |

Braun Series 9.
Make certain to buy the one with the cleaning station. The older Series 7 is good too. The newer ones not so much. |

I've been using a Panasonic ES8243A since 2010. Made in Japan. It replaced a Norelco that never really cut it for me.
They still make an updated version of it. |

So, I've been living with the Braun listed in the OP and I am not sure if my expectations were unreasonable or not. My beard is not thick and it is not heavy, but if I go a few days between using the shaver, it doesn't really seem to get it all. Son, I am dissapoint.
What is the best way to use an electric shaver. Must I shave every day? |

I just got my first electric shaver yesterday.
I bought pretty much the cheapest one I could find. $39.95. Phillips Norelco 2300 rechargeable. I'm sure it will get laughed at but I just wanted to try electric without breaking the bank. I shaved my head and my very tough, razor killing beard today. Amazing. It works great. I'm totally impressed. Now lets see how long it lasts. |

Braun. It’s blue and I got it at Target. Works fantastic! Don’t know the number offhand.

I'm finding that I have a better shave when I give the shaver more time on any given area. Also, if I re-orient the shaver face by 90 degrees and/or 180 degrees then go over the area again, that seems to help.

Braun, but it only works the day after I shave. I can not have multiple days growth or I have to use a regular razor.

View Quote Yeah, I have to use it daily or it starts to fall behind. Even so, I have a couple of small areas about where my jaw joins my neck that it never really does well on. |

Had a Braun I got as a gift. When it died I bought a Remington for less than 50 bucks. Has lasted as long as the Braun, and works just as well.
