Default Cordless Rechargeable Shaver

Those that own one... Which one do you have?

I'm looking for a new one and I may go with this model.

Philips Norelco 7140XL Cord/Cordless Rechargeable Shaver

I haven't used one that gets as close as a normal razor. And for that matter, keeps it smooth for more than 4 hours.

i use the Schick Extreme 3 disposables & am constantly getting compliments from girls on how smooth i get my head & face

one pass w/ shaving cream w/ the grain, then splash warm/hot water on & while pulling skin tight w/ other hand, go against the grain....doing that way, mine is normally still pretty smooth for a long time after

Norelco shavers never seemed to work for me.
I'm currently using a Braun 4615; I think I spent about $40.

I've had my Braun 5610 for the past 4 years and still running well and strong.

Not a fan of Norelco either.

Have you ever tried or heard of HeadBlade? http://www.headblade.com/

I have a friend that shaves his head daily and he swears by it. He also uses their shaving cream (HeadSlick).

You used to have to buy the products online, but I have seen them in Walgreens here in Tucson.

I use this, just not the powered version. Blades don't last as long as you would think, but the trimming blade is really convenient for my side burns. I'd say go for it, they're like $7.
