I've been thinking of getting a new one, but it still works and I like it.

I'm gunna bump this for my question.


I don't like the look of my clean shaven face - I want to keep a trimmed look - very short stubble (maybe two days out).

My mustache grows faster than the rest of my face; I shave that alone the night after I clean shave, this sucks!


I have a trimmer that I use for the other "stuff", but it doesn't go on my face. (Yes, tried it and it sucks / gross)


Anyone know of an adjustable electric razor that I can use to keep my stubble at an even level whenever I use it?

$80-130 range

For stubble maintenance I just have a Norelco trimmer I think it was like $50 at target or something...more than adequate

[Quick6EF]

Link me yours on Amazon?

looks like they don't make it anymore but there a plenty like it...that one for sale at $90 is wayyy over priced

I have a series 7 braun electric. Expensive but very nice. One day i'll grow a pair and use a true razor.

[jlspeed29]

trimmers are cheap...<$20 easily...

for maintenance, I use the trimmer side of my 8140xl norelco...bought it off of Ebay for like $50 a year a while back...works well

This one looks great.. http://www.amazon.com/Philips-Norelc...f=pd_sbs_hpc_2


Half the price.


"18 secured
length settings" That's exactly what I'm looking for.


Plus when I need to go clean, I have my badger brush for my traditional wetshave. Shout out to Jay

[BTM]

Yea that one should work totally fine

[Quick6EF]

ship it

[Quick6EF]

BTM (and whoever else).


Got my trimmer - http://www.amazon.com/Philips-Norelc...f=pd_sbs_hpc_2


I tried it today - did everything great, except I couldn't get as close on my mustache.


Do I need a foil trimmer? This one doesnt have changeable heads or I would purchase one...

[BTM]

I typically have to go over the stache a bunch of times making weird faces to get an even length

Anyone have recommendations for good single blade straight razor? like the picture dan linked. never tried before so am curious. i don't like to use electric, can't get a clean shave. i currently use a fusion.

[BTM]

I tried with my machete once. Would not recommend. Hope this helps.

I would try a blade kit first to see which you like

or

lol yea it does

get Jay in here to comment on the straight razor.

They take a lot of work / skill to get them honed and cared for correctly.

Sorry to thread jack but if you are looking into straight razors I would start at the straight razor place forums. http://straightrazor**********/forum.php Not sure why it keeps editing out this link. Just google the site name.

A few sites for equipment
