Ok decided to buy a electric razor for quick shaves as it takes me too long to shave tbh.
Amazon got a sale on and decided for recommendations/advice
so basically ive picked 2. A foil and a rotary.

which better? any other recommendations.
I dont want to spend more then £45 tbh.
Thanks
Depends on your hair. If it's tough and/or you'll be cutting it when it's grown a bit then get the rotary. If it's not so tough and you'll shave more often but want a closer finish get the foil.
Though looking at the reviews they don't seem very flattering for the remmington - I would personally look for a braun for foil. Eg:

I spent nigh on a hundred quid on an electric shaver (one of those poncey Philips gel based ones) a year or so back. It got used grudgingly for about a month then I reverted to wet shaves. The shave was nowhere near as close, my skin got itrritated to hell, I had to shave twice a day and it actually took longer than a wet shave for me, so it's now sitting in it's box again.
Would seriously reconsider an electric, especially based on your other shaving thread
Ive got some Braun electric job, which I picked up in Boots a while ago, when the range was half price.
Day to day its fine for removing the majority of stubble, but if im going out anywhere/its a special occasion then nothing beats/gets close to a wet shave, the electric unfortunatly doesnt get close enough.
Although I do like how much quicker the job can be done with the electric, so for work days, yep it means extra time to hit the snooze button
I actually use the Philips one you've shortlisted. It's very good, especially for that, I paid double... but.. like others have stated, it's nowhere near as close as a wet. Nor is it really any cheaper. As the Nivea stuff for it is expensive.
you talking about normal razors or single blade safety razors when saying wet shave?
For wet, I use and still swear by my Mach 3 turbo, in MANLY Corvette RedOriginally Posted by Cozwin
Im currently testing the method of pliars. 5-15 hairs at a time
Supprisingly it does not hurt, I am finding it good for chin/neck area.
Upper lip hurts and nose AVIOD! rest does not hurt

I am using a Philips rotary (Coolskin). Works for me, but I've never used a foil based. My skin is very sensitive, and I always used to have some sort of side effects when using normal razors (various Gillette and a Wilkinson Sword).
I read that, then thought a bit and nope still no words..Im currently testing the method of pliars. 5-15 hairs at a time

Had I the heavens' embroidered cloths,
Enwrought with golden and silver light,
The blue and the dim and the dark cloths
Of night and light and the half-light,
I would spread the cloths under your feet:
But I, being poor, have only my dreams;
I have spread my dreams under your feet;
Tread softly, because you tread on my dreams.
Are the electric ones better than a "wet" blade shave?
Define 'better', especially with respect to your skin type.
I always use a electric shaver but my last one a few years old need constant charging a real pain at times. I am looking at the Philips brand myself as I normally use Braun or another well known brand
