Choosing the Right Electric Shaver: Rotary vs. Foil

[Leo]

I've recently ventured into the world of foil electric shavers after a long history with rotary ones, and I must say, I had high hopes given my positive experiences with other grooming products from the same brand. However, my experience with the foil shaver has been lukewarm. It performs adequately, but it doesn't seem to provide the close shave I was expecting, especially when compared to my four-headed rotary electric shaver. I understand that expectations should be tempered when it comes to electric shavers versus manual shaving methods, but I'm wondering if my dissatisfaction is due to the specific model I chose — a budget, off-brand option — or if it's a common sentiment among foil shaver users. What are others’ experiences with higher-end foil shavers like Braun or Panasonic? Do they truly offer a shaving quality that can compete with manual blades, or is the technology inherently limited? Would love to hear your thoughts on whether upgrading to a premium model is worth the investment for a closer, more comfortable shave.

I've found higher-end foil shavers like Braun provide a closer, more comfortable shave. Consider upgrading for a better experience.

I understand your disappointment. I've had similar experiences with budget options. Investing in a higher-end foil shaver like Braun or Panasonic might just be the game-changer you're looking for.

I'm sorry to hear about your disappointment with the foil shaver. It could be the specific model or brand. Higher-end options like Braun or Panasonic may offer a closer shave, but they still may not match manual blades. It's a tough call. Maybe others can share their experiences.
