    Thinking of getting a Braun Series 8 over the 9

    I'm thinking of a Series 8, instead of the 9. I don't like shaver heads with large gaps between foils. The 9 has a few large gaps, bars, trimmers, etc. The 8 has the more traditional 2 foils/cutters, and one long hair trimmer in the middle. I also miss the ease of being able to remove the...

    New Norelco vs. older Norelco?

    Ha, cornered the market in rotary heads!

    Electric Shave of the Day (ESOTD)

    Today I used my Norelco 3000 series. It takes longer than my Panasonic Arc 5, but it's so much quieter! It's jarring to hear a loud dentist drill sound in the morning - the Arc 5 sounds like that! But, the Arc 5 is the best closest shaver. Decisions, decisions!

    New Norelco vs. older Norelco?

    I agree, I’m liking the 3000 shaver! Especially when I found out it’s $75 to replace the head and cutters of my Panasonic Arc 5!

    New Norelco vs. older Norelco?

    Yup, like big screen TVs (and most electronics today), if they break, buy another one! I really do miss the nice travel cases and service centers. I remember going to the Remington service center in NYC with my Micro Screen ("so good I bought the company") and getting it serviced (new switch)...

    New Norelco vs. older Norelco?

    I guess every shaver head is "rinsable"if you're careful, but I like to give the whole thing a soaping and rinsing - gets all the little hairs out from behind the trimmer, etc. I think the shavers are becoming more and more disposable every year - but are more comfortable shaves. I had a...

    New Norelco vs. older Norelco?

    Interesting! I looked at that 3552, but wanted a wet/dry version. Way easy to just rinse it clean! I didn’t know the heads are different! Wonder how much money Philips saved by not adding the wings? Sad!

    New Norelco vs. older Norelco?

    You can see all the plastic around the round foils. Those edges can only get in the way! I just ordered a 3000 series, which has the vintage style round head I know. And, always loved since Santa rode that triple header in the commercials!

    New Norelco vs. older Norelco?

    Glad to see the board back! I have an older Norelco AT800 series that uses the classic round heads and cutters. I'd like to get a newer one, but noticed all the higher end new ones have strange flat spots extending from the round head surround. Wouldn't that make it harder to use under the nose...
