Actually Braun last time as I know is the best shaver around but now everyone seems to be using Philips shaver. Cheap & easy to use, clean, small & handy. Survey around or ask the sales person they can tell you.

Most importantly, Philips can use Bonuslink, Maybank pts to redeem for it.

I bought a Philips electric shaver for my hubby 15 years ago and it is still functioning perfectly. I have had no problems with it.

Lucky for your husband. My previous shaver also Philips and it lasted only for 2 yrs plus I think and it died on me when I need to use it most. :( Anyway, I've gotten another one already and still very much in a good condition, hopefully I can last more than 2 yrs would be more than enough. :rolleyes:

I used to hv 2 Braun, a Philips, and a National shaver many many years ago, some served me 2 yrs, some up to 5, and all gave up after a while. Reason? Batteries... rechargeable batteries has limited lifetime. The motor on the cheap National 1 which uses normal batteries just got weaker n weaker until it can't move. Braun lasted much longer, I even had to replace the shaving head 2x, then 1 day it just refused to wake up... battery died... had to use it with a cord for some time, then put it away for some time n it cant be started again.

Gave up on all these gizmo n went back to safety razors, but nowadays the refills are not cheap tho!!!

I wonder what kind of shaver can last 15 yrs? Must be an electric shaver w/o batteries?

PJS, using razors is good cos it really gives a clean shave but then sometimes don't have that much and focus to shave nicely. Goes wrong only, we get the cut already. Gillette shavers are very realiable, used to use them but gotten very very lazy with it. Hmm .. I think nowadays they are tryin' to get men back into using razors.

15 yrs shaving machine - is either he his beard is not thick type and not much or he really knows how to take care of his gadgets. :)

Braun is a good brand but hard to find their service centre - it's in kepong, tmn ehsan industrial area, the cost of service is equivalent to getting a new one, but so far my hubby use it for 20 years and recently due to charging problem, need to service and it cost RM168.00

Bought a Philips shaver comes with 2 years warranty but Braun come with 1 year warranty.

Got Philips for lady shaver and panasonic for hubby, he is happy because it's much faster and shave so much better.

Are electrical ones really nice to use? Got one for my hubby last time but he didn't like it. Says it does not shave as clean as the razor and it makes his skin itch. Maybe need to get a better model?

Braun is good brand for shaving but too expensive for me, so I went for second choice which is Phillip. Been using that brand for more than 2 yrs already but shavers don't last very long for me. At least it helps to shave clean and I won't cut myself anymore.
