i use a norelco electric shaver (about 2 years old) and love it.
I'm too cheap to upgrade to one of the newer ones (with the self cleaning option) - will do once this breaks.

I have a slightly less expensive version (8585), and love it! Best electric shaver I have ever had.

I tried to switch from blades to an electric and after a week I switched back. I just couldn't get used to getting a less close shave.

I tried electric shavers but it just wasn't quite the same. Nothing beats a blade. Or three of four, or FIVE!

A Braun was the worst shaver i have ever owned hands down.

And just to muddy the waters a little more, my experience is just the opposite. I've used nothing but a Braun for years and wouldn't want to use anything else. I've had great service from every Braun I've owned. [Note: get a German-made Braun, as some of the entry-level models are now made in China. There IS a difference.] I got a new self-cleaning unit in March (not the 360...the next one down, perhaps?) and this feature is worth the cost. It does a fine job of keeping the blades and foil nice and clean.

I've used an electric now for the past fifteen years. When I switched, it took about a month to make the transition, but the tradeoff is worth the effort, IMO. With a blade, I can never get a smooth finish without blood, nicks, or the need for the occasional skin graft.

I'm with a couple posters above:
I never found the switch from blades to
electric, to be comfortable.

I'm told by my elec. shave friends that I
didn't give it "enough time" for my skin
to become "used" to the electric shaver.

I have tried Norelcos and old Brauns...
nothing recent, so they may be much
improved. As I don't shave but 1-2 times
a week anymore, it's not a big deal whipping
out the Gillette Sensor, lol!

I use a Wal-Mart cheapazz small Wahl
to trim my goat&'stache and a larger
Wahl for "buzzcut" theCEO gives me.
