My old Braun foil shaver is on its last legs. I am trying to decide replacing it with another Braun or switch to a comparably priced Norelco. Any opinions?

Funny, my shavers last forever.
Oh wait, I can't grow a beard. All I get is some motley goatee and a few straggly hairs on my cheeks.
I'm no help at all. LOL!
Money can't buy happiness, but it can buy cigars and that's close enough.
About the same for me. Does make shaving quicker.
I’ve sworn by my Norelco for a good many years. I went to a rotary to finally get away from the constant hair-pulls I got from an oscillating blade. And I never looked back.... 👴🏻👍
Isn't Braun the one that has the commercial about fixing someone's 30 year old electric shaver? Is repair an option?
I use a beard trimmer but can't stand electric shavers, give me a safety razor or a straight razor. Of course, I haven't shaved in months.
I recommend Braun.
I had a norelco, got a lot of hair pulls.
I know, You're a big dog and I'm on the list.

It'll be fine once the swelling goes down.
Ok, that's one hair-pulls for Norelco and one hair-pull for Braun. Might depend on beard characteristics or dull cutters or user technique. I've decided to give the Norelco a try, see how it does with pandemic shaving regimen--every 3 or 4 days, lol.
Use it as a paperweight. Never could get a close enough shave with any electric. I'll take wet shaving any time.
Wet here also. I got tired of buying rotary replacement blades and not getting a close shave.
Had both brands, back when I needed to dry shave because we were out in the field on the tank. Found the Braun to be the better, but that was a long long time ago. It did tend to cut the hairs, rather than to s n a t c h them out of my face like the Norelco. In the summer, which is when I shave, I like those 5 blade Schick razors with the gel-type shaving cream, gel, stuff.

I fail to see how a rotary cutter can pull hairs. But, hey, if it happened to you I guess you’d know, right?

Braun
It's like choosing between a Gran Habano and a Padron.

I bought this one at Bed, bath and beyond a few years back and it works great. Best electric shaver I have ever owned and i have had a few for traveling.
BBB usually has discount coupons that work as well. I think I got $50.00 off on this one. Sign up for emails and you should get a coupon code soon.

Looks like Braun wins. I guess I will find out soon which one handles 3-day whiskers easiest.
You'll like it so much the whiskers won't last 3 days, you'll be shaving twice a day just because it's so much fun now.
I still usually use a blade but I picked up a Braun series 7 wet/dry recently with my son needing to start shaving and for taking on the road. It works very well and the self clean is a great feature as well.

Another vote for Braun here. I started using one while still in the Army and had a close enough shave daily for parades and inspections. It died about 6 years ago and I replaced it with another. First one worked great until the battery stopped charging, instead of sending it in for repair, i figured after 28 or so years I would just get another.
