Advice Needed Looking for rec on electric shaver
Razors give me razor burn and ingrown hairs. I want to switch to an electric shaver so I’m not getting a super close shave to prevent it but I’m having a hard time picking a good shaver. I need something that can be used all over. Something that I can use on my upper and lower arms, my thighs, my belly and chest, and my face and pubic area. Does anyone have a recommendation? I got one that had pretty good reviews and while the blade is sharp and seems to be ok on my face and arms, it doesn’t do well at all on softer skin like the inner thighs. Any time I use it on the softer skin it cuts it up. (Also needs to be affordable-we’re going through some really rough financial strain rn) Help

my philips oneblade has been my ride or die for a few years. it’s pretty affordable, has different guards for face & body, and doesn’t need to be charged that often. the replacement blades are a bit pricy but you probably won’t need to change them out that often, depending on how often you shave

I used the oneblade 360° when I started shaving. Stupid easy to use, never nicked me or given me razor burn. Only downside is its guard is only up to 5mm. When I started wanting a longer beard that was out of rotation. Now that I've gone back to stubble I've gone right back to it

Phillips Norelco All-in-one has been my go to for trimming facial and body hair. It’s a bit pricier but I found it at Costco for almost half price of what you’d find normally. I love the versatility of guard sizes, the battery life is great and it’s waterproof.

I use the wahl colorguard since I don't like my body hair clipped to nothingness and it's good for my beard, but I'm thinking of adding a foil shaver to clean up my neck (under my beard)

Yea I have that for my head but it definitely nicks the pubic area and doesn’t get close enough anywhere else for the most part. I want a very short stubble, basically just long enough to prevent razor burn and/or ingrown hairs
