Which is the best electric shaver?

Question

I am planning to buy an electric shaver either from Philips (rotary) or Braun (foil). I have no info over both of their performances. Is the Philips arcitec system performs better than the Braun pulsonic while shaving thick haired skin? What do you think would be the best for a close-shave?

One more thing: have any of you have any bad experiences with the noise of the shaver at all?

Answer 1

I've used Braun (foil) and Norelco (rotary), specifically.  I would say that, through experience, the Bruan gives me a closer shave by far over the Norelco, especially since my facial hair is thicker...

The Rotary shavers do not make as much noise as the Foil shavers do, but that doesn't bug me to much...

Answer 2

I would recommend you use Philips (rotary) since I think it's easier to use. Anyway sound does not matter.
