Al Berca Posted October 2, 2018 Report Share Posted October 2, 2018 Where locally can I find a selection of men's electric shavers? WalMart only had one and it had been taped so many times it was obviously a return, so I passed. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ComputerGuy Posted October 2, 2018 Report Share Posted October 2, 2018 There's a Braun at CostCo listed at about $1700p. If you use the Lakeside Delivery Service, the kids will actually contact you from the store and send you photos, so you can choose. Although knowing CostCo, they may only have one type of razor. https://www.lakeside-ss.com/tienda-online/Braun-Electric-Razor-*-p67242469 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Careful with Costco mx, the Braun they were selling was inferior to the US version, same model #… also some Braun units will NOT operate while plugged in.

RVGRINGO Posted October 2, 2018 Report Share Posted October 2, 2018 I found the same with Norelco/Phillips electric shavers: The version in Mexico looks the same, but is definitely inferior and the heads are not interchangeable. The Mexican version did not give a close shave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aquaponicsman Posted October 3, 2018 Report Share Posted October 3, 2018 Not really on topic, but a fun article w/shaver recommendations: https://www.toolsofmen.com/electric-shaver-vs-razor/ Some barbers here still provide shaves... naturally, with a single-edge razor.

barcelonaman Posted October 3, 2018 Report Share Posted October 3, 2018 So which brand electric shaver is recommended ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ComputerGuy Posted October 3, 2018 Report Share Posted October 3, 2018 25 years ago, I bought the latest, hi-tech, multi-head, most-recommended, digital display razor I could find. The instruction book said "Give it six weeks". Phooey. Shaving over and over and over again, getting dry, red skin from trying to get a smooth shave. After six weeks, I sold it to a retired guy who didn't care how smooth it was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
757 Posted October 3, 2018 Report Share Posted October 3, 2018 I bought a great electric at Sears CDMX last year. They may have the same selection here or online. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alpha1 Posted October 3, 2018 Report Share Posted October 3, 2018 3 hours ago, barcelonaman said: So which brand electric shaver is recommended ? BRAUN . Series 9, 7, 3. I will probably purchasing the series 7 since it MUST be unplugged however it is rated as a better shaver. The reason is that some shavers are wet/dry and for safety reasons cannot be plugged in while using ,i.e. shower! a list of shavers that can be used while plugged into the wall outlet. Series 3 3090cc 3070cc 3050cc 3000BT 300s Series 5 5030s Series 7 None available Series 9 None available As you can see, a vast majority of the shavers that allow for corded shaving are in the Series 3 Models. Take a look at the ones I have listed by visiting braun.com, selecting the razors you're interested in, and clicking on the compare button.

A foil shaver works in an oscillating manner (like that of a desk fan going back and forth). A rotary head shaver works like a weed-whacker spinning around incredibly quick (in the neighborhood of 15,000 RPM!) Also different from the foil head is that with a rotary shaver you go in a circular manner when shaving.

johanson Posted October 6, 2018 Report Share Posted October 6, 2018 Going to the Seattle Costco tomorrow to pick up a new electric shaver perhaps a Braun Series 7-7893 because it is on sale. Why up here? Because several have posted on this forum that it is hard to find a good electric shaver lakeside. Besides the Seattle Costco store is only 4 miles away, not the 65 Km I would have to drive each way to the closest Costco when I get back to Ajijic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dichosalocura Posted October 6, 2018 Report Share Posted October 6, 2018 Once you get your electric razor, please tell us where you found your pre-shave oil to put on your face before you shave. We have tried and tried to find it here, but to no avail. We finally stocked up on several bottles, last time we traveled to the States. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johanson Posted October 6, 2018 Report Share Posted October 6, 2018 I have never used pre-shave oil with an electric razor. I don't even know what it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aquaponicsman Posted October 7, 2018 Report Share Posted October 7, 2018 More from the School of Shaving! I was unfamiliar with shaving oil for electric razors, too. A good article appeared: Pre-Shave Oils and Electric Shaving An oil can’t soften the hair by itself because the hair is covered in a very tough outer shell called the cuticle and it can only be weaken by alkaline components found in a quality shaving cream. A pre-shave oil works by penetrating and holding the water into your skin, making it supple, plump and well-moisturized. This greatly reduces the risks of irritation when shaving. The mention of "good quality shave creams" led to another article below, with recommendations for good shaving creams: What's the Best Shaving Cream? The Ultimate Guide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dichosalocura Posted October 8, 2018 Report Share Posted October 8, 2018 Yeah, many brands make the claim their pre-shaving oil make the beard hairs softer, but I always had my doubts. What they do do is prevent chaffing and irritation of the face. I hate shaving with an electric razor on a dry face. It's not confortable at all. I have Portuguese heritage so I have the thick heavy beard hairs. Ouch! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
