The planets are aligning...
My electric razor is about to give up the ghost and Fathers Day will
soon be upon us. I'm looking for actual experiences and opinions from
anyone who has used a wet/dry electric razor. I prefer to shave in the
shower and have often wondered how the wet/dry electric versions compare
to the standard electric razor in performance and comfort.

I was very pleasantly surprised to find the Panasonic cordless wet dry
was a very good shaver. It shaves very close (second only to a razor,
in my experience) and I get 10-12 days use BETWEEN charges. I don't
even take the charger with me on vacation.
I only used it in the shower once, and it did pretty well, but I've
never been very good at shaving without a mirror, so I typically wait
till afterwards.
My only complaint is that the grill is just slightly too fine. As I
start getting a few grays, I often find that one or two aren't picked
up because they tend to be thicker than other hair, and won't easily be
picked up.
They have a number of models. I consider the one with the LCD readout
a bit much, but I like the low battery warning light since I often
can't tell from the speed when I get into the 4-5 days left range,
which is about when it kicks in.

I've often wondered how they can do a good job with a wet beard. A
traditional electric does best with a dry stiff beard. What's different
about these razors?

They're sealed against water, for one.... I think most use some sort of rotary cylinder cutter. Steve | |||||
