    Does anyone use Shaving oil?

    I used it for a while. Somersets shaving oil was a sponsor of the old Electric Razor Rap back a few years ago. When using it with my Philishave HS555 razor, the oil caused the decorative discs on my shaving heads to come off, but that was merely a cosmetic issue. It didn't affect shave...

    Does anyone else get annoyed by the constant new model releases

    Connor, thanks for your post and welcome aboard. I wouldn't consider this to be Braun moving on to the next thing. Over a year ago, I bought a Braun Series 3 (310s). It was introduced in 2016. New models are introduced, but support for older models (i.e. replacement parts) doesn't cease. The 94M...

    Replacement heads way too expensive or is it just me

    Caleb, welcome aboard. I think the price is fine, especially when you consider the cost per month ($4.16). Even over twenty years ago, I was paying a similar price for my Philishave HQ5 replacement heads. I would always buy OEM parts, never after-market.

    Braun Series 7 not charging anymore - any fixes?

    Welcome aboard, Ethan. Another poster recently mentioned how he replaced his current razor with the same model, and that's what I would recommend for you, as well. As you indicated earlier, it would likely be cost-prohibitive to send the razor away for repair and to have a new battery installed...

    Panasonic Arc5 ES-LV65 died after 6 years - ordering the same model again

    Welcome, Joe. I'm a big believer in sticking with what works for you. I try several models for the purposes of the board and YouTube channel, but yours is a good approach.

    Sunday, October 12, 2025 Philishave HQ5401 Lubriderm 3-in-1 men's lotion Aqua Velva blue after shave The HQ5401 is a cord-only model given to me by my grandma for Christmas, 2002. Because of the cord, it's a little tricky shaving my head. I had to creatively manoeuvre to make it work and hunch...

    Panasonic Arc5 ES-LV67-K vs ES-LV97-K - what's the actual difference?

    Hi, Scott. The ES-LV67-K is just the razor and the ES-LV97-K is the razor and cleaning station. With the way the cutters are designed (not built in to the head), it would be easy to clean them by hand as opposed to something like a Braun Series 9 Pro with very little wiggle room under the hood...

    Philips OneBlade Pro review - 18 months of daily use

    Hi, Trevor. Welcome. I use the OneBlade for beard maintenance occasionally. I'm always worried about how my beard will look to others when I trim it myself, so, admittedly, I usually get a beard trim at the barber shop. I do use the OneBlade mostly to clean up the neck area of my beard.

    rotary vs foil which one do i get help

    Jared, welcome. This goes back to the money-back guarantee of each razor company and even the guarantee of the place you buy the razor from. You specifically mentioned Amazon. They have a good return/money-back guarantee policy. Try a low-end foil like the Braun 3 from Amazon first. try it for...
