The thing i don’t like about electric razors is that you don’t know whether they are suitable for you until you try.
I found Braun useless. I like my Current Philips Sensotouch 3D (and breathe!)
Can be used wet or dry and gives a very good shave indeed for the most part.
Although due to the way the hair grows under my jaw, no electric razor has given good results.
+1 for Buy him some good wet shaving kit.
