OT: Shavers at Aldi

[meow2222]

Currently on offer at £18 - same pattern as the braun synchro, but much b etter performers than philips or braun, and very cheap. They include an ord er form for a new cutter block & foil for £11.20.

Its a mains or rechargeable. The wallwart has 13A plug pins on rather than

5A round pins. The other oddity I noticed is the cutter block doesnt appear to quite travel to the ends of the foil, unless I'm mistaken.

Longevity? no idea. But overall I'm very impressed, and its not often I say that about a product.

No connection with Aldi.

B, Bu, But... Real men use angle grinders. Also available from Aldi.

Bought a three head rotary at Lidl a few weeks ago. Branded Remington - I assume the Philips patent has run out. It was nearer 40 quid - but I'm very pleased with it. Cost less than replacing the heads on my similar Philips model.

Philips have made rotary head shavers since 1939, and 3 head since 1956. So I wonder why clones have been so few on the market.

Philips lift & cut are more likely to cause ingrown hair problems than the braun pattern, and the general concensus is theyre harsher on the skin.

Quite the reverse from my findings.

My face feels much better after a Philips three-head shave than with an earlier Braun-type. And I now have the option, which I sometimes take, of wet shaving with it. That gives an excellent finish and good skin feel.

I found far less irritation when changing from Philips to Braun.

I've had both types for many years. Of course I'm sure our beards and skin ain't identical.

Or proper safety razors, soap and water. Twin blade is better than single. Anything above twin is marketing hype.

I've only used an electric razor a couple of times and the result was crap compared to a wet shave with twin blade razor. I have my fathers and grandfathers cut throat razors, tempted but I don't know how to sharpen them and I don't have a strop to keep the edge either.

Gillette Mach 3. The only shaver worth using.
