Mains/rechargeable, using a Philishave ATM (3 rotary blades) but the battery's ****ed & not holding charge.
I can get away with shaving every other day & don't need one that works in the shower.
So waddya reckon between a rotary & a foil? I've seen that Argos are doing money off stuff but not sure how they compare to other places.
Thanks!
PS, budget of £60.

No idea how they compare but I've had a Braun rechargeable for 20 years or so. The thing just goes on working. It can be used wet but I've never bothered.

I got one like this off ebay, £16

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/New-Mens-Electric-Shaver-Cordless-Rotary-Rechargeable-Washable-Waterproof-Razor/261513248161?_trksid=p2045573.c100034.m2102&_trkparms=aid%3D555012%26algo%3DPW.MBE%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20140107092241%26meid%3Dcd89bf1c793745318602b15ebab5f2c6%26pid%3D100034%26prg%3D20140107092241%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D4%26sd%3D161434735593

it does the job better than i thought it would, previously had remington (broke just after 6 months) and had philips but the blades needed replacing. i use it a few times a week and had it for 3 months

Or open it up and put in some new batteries

Looks like a 'sealed unit' to me. Can you give me a quote for doing it?

My phillishave has a round metal screw at the bottom, I undid that and the back came off. If I remember right there were NIMH AA cells in a carrier. I didn't actually change them as I was repairing the switch but it looked like they were dead easy to change.
The limit of my experience is what I did on mine, but as it is also a phillips 3 blade rotary I thought there was a fair chance yours might be as easy. Youv'e got **** all to lose.

[url= http://www.mymemory.co.uk/Health-and-Beauty/Panasonic/Panasonic-Milano-Shaver-for-Men---Blue ]This[/url] is a cracking deal for a Panasonic Milano @ £27 including delivery - something that Tesco are currently offering at RRP of £90. Have been using mine for a couple of months now - very happy.

Yes I saw that thread thanks. No use to me though, I have far too many things to be getting on with without having to fanny around shaving with that. I like to shave while I'm sitting on the bog & reading for a start.

Anymore reccomendations for leccy ones?

You don't shave anyway!
Naa, if I go without shaving for 4 days I just look totally scruffier than normal.

You shave, shit and read at the same time? Why not take your breakfast in with you and save some more time?
