Welcome aboard, Jake. The Remington F5-5800 is actually a decent entry point for someone starting with electric shaving, especially at your budget. It's one of Remington's better models and should handle light facial hair just fine. The F5-5800 does have corded/cordless operation which is nice -...

That's been my experience, as well. My Philips S3233/52 3000 series razor was made in Indonesia, and the SH30 heads that came installed didn't have the little wings. I then bought the Philishave S3552/89 3000 series razor made in the Netherlands and it had SH30 heads with the little wings. I...

Good thinking on playing it safe with the mAh difference! You're absolutely right to be cautious about that - the original NiCd cells being 700mAh vs 2000mAh NiMH is a significant difference that could potentially stress the charging circuit over time. That secondary circuit you spotted is...

Best Electric Razors 2025: Complete Buying Guide - Part 2 Continued from Part 1... Electric Shaver Types: Foil vs Rotary Foil Shavers (Braun, Panasonic) How they work: Oscillating blades move back and forth beneath perforated metal screens Advantages: Generally closer shave Better for...

Welcome aboard, Mike. Sorry to hear about the sudden irritation - that's really frustrating when nothing in your routine has changed. After three years, your Remington's cutting head is probably worn out. Dull blades will tug and pull at hair instead of cutting cleanly, which causes exactly the...

Welcome aboard, Techguy Marcus. The Arc5 cutter and foil are both separate, whereas with the Arc6, the cutter and foil are together (the cutter is in the foil, as in a part of it). I've never tried other one, but I'm actually tempted to try an Arc5 to shave my head. I had some problems with the...

Brad, welcome aboard. I've never tried the Braun Series 9 Pro+, but I have tried the Braun Series 9 Pro. The only difference is the upgraded trimmer on the Pro+. I used the Braun to shave my head for a few months until I discovered it was becoming clogged with hair. You may not have that issue...

You're absolutely right - I got that backwards, my apologies! You have a NiCd-designed charging circuit (early 90s Philishave) with NiMH replacement cells, not the other way around. And yes, you should be fine to use the NiMH cells in your NiCd charger. Early 90s Philishave chargers...

Vladyslav, welcome aboard. Your English is fine. I'd recommend a 1000 series Philips razor. The Philips Ukrainian site lists them here. https://www.philips.ua/c-m-pe/face-shavers/latest#availability=instock&page=1 Слава Україні!

Barney, Welcome aboard. Similar to what Rmac86 said, I'd go with a budget Philips as a start. The 2000 series and 1000 series are good, as is the 3000 series. I own two from the 3000 series, and they perform well. All of the razors in the 1000, 2000 and 3000 series use the same SH30 shaving...

Great points about the failure modes - you're absolutely right that most issues boil down to power source or cutting components. I should have been more specific about the "5 year rule." You make an excellent observation about generic replacement parts. For someone comfortable with non-OEM...

Choosing the right electric razor can transform your daily routine from a chore into something quick and comfortable. With dozens of models from major brands, finding the perfect match for your needs, budget, and beard type doesn't have to be overwhelming. This comprehensive guide covers the...

Nothing's more frustrating than spending good money on an electric razor only to have it leave you with patchy, incomplete shaves. If your electric razor isn't cutting close anymore (or never did), don't give up yet. Most cutting problems can be fixed with the right approach. Quick Diagnosis...

You're right to be cautious about the battery chemistry mismatch. The charging circuitry is indeed the key concern here. NiCd vs NiMH charging differences: NiCd cells can handle more aggressive charging and are more forgiving of overcharging NiMH cells require more precise charging control...

The head I've picked up from AliExpress finally arrived and I put it on the MG1199 body. I wasn't too impressed with the shave quality, for starters; I really had to grind away to get somewhat of a decent shave and also because of that the minutes remaining on the display went down pretty fast...

Awesome! I look forward to it.

I would like to know which electric razor you use to shave your head. Thanks.
