    Where can I find a cheap electric shaver? [Men]
    I'm starting to shave and I'm unsure what I need. But most of my friends tell me they have electric shavers, as they think its better and easier.
    My question is where to find a good, resourceful electric shaver that isn't that expensive.

    Looking for below £30- probably £25- minus

    thanks

    Edit* (Bought one - thread resolved) - Cheers guys.

    You prob can't, I've tried a couple over a reasonable price range and none shaved particularly close nor with ease.

    Remington MB320C Barba Beard Trimmer

    price ranges from 15 - 25 on amazon it changes quite a lot, but if you read the reviews you will know its good, i also use it for cutting my hair too

    From experience cheap electric shavers are terrible. Others may find differently mind.

    While I find electric shavers overall terrible, I found Phillips shavers with the round heads much better than anything else. I only use mine if I'm in a rush, but otherwise I found that a wet razor takes not much longer if you have a good one, I very rarely cut myself.

    I bought a Braun pocket shaver and its the worst thing ever, it doesnt even do anything its completely useless so stay away from it.
    EDIT - http://www.amazon.co.uk/Braun-Pocket...ref=pd_sim_d_1
    That piece of ****, cost me about £25 from Boots and I bought it cus it had good reviews (as you can see) but maybe its just me but it doesnt go through anything thicker than a light stubble and it can actually be quite painful.

    I just use a pair of hair clippers/beard trimmer, work perfectly well for me; just take the plastic thing off the top and there you go. Doesnt leave you completely smooth but that only lasts a day anyway so who cares, if I want to be completely smooth you cant beat some foam and a proper razor.
