Choosing the Right Electric Shaver: Rotary vs. Foil
Posted: Thu Oct 28, 2021 1:01 pm
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.
