Guest guest Posted March 16, 2012 Report Share Posted March 16, 2012 Depends how tactilely defensive he is. DS very much around his head. In the end we bought a flexible 3 headed electric razor - ours is by Philips - made a game of pretending to shave a few months before it was going to be essential. Shaving cream is a big problem. the Green People one is awful - sticky and then drying. Haven't found anything that actually works well. Currently trying Lavera but I think its maybe got some bad ingredients. Would love to hear other suggestions that aren't oily or too foamy and don't clog the razor and actually work on the skin. DS manages now mostly on his own but needs help with the cream and prompting to do it in the first place of course.

Guest guest Posted March 17, 2012 Report Share Posted March 17, 2012 I didn't think you needed foam or cream with an electric one??? His father is a shave TWICE a day or look like he is growning a beard kinda guy and Sam has his extra Y Mx Depends how tactilely defensive he is. DS very much around his head.

Guest guest Posted March 17, 2012 Report Share Posted March 17, 2012 A friend tells me electric razors aren't nearly as durable as they used to be. He advises against foil heads and for going for the older-type round ones that are placed in sets of three. He also said it's hard to find one that will just plug in and run off the mains - most are rechargeable. When the battery runs out and won't recharge any more then you have to buy another razor...One that ran off the mains would keep going. (I wish I'd kept my dad's old electric razors.)

Guest guest Posted March 17, 2012 Report Share Posted March 17, 2012 No shaving foam here, doesn't have anything really but his father does and he is just fine without foam, when he can be bothered at all! prefers traditional wet shave. Boots had half price sale on electric shavers just recently. Vicky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 17, 2012 Report Share Posted March 17, 2012 I think you need to buy another battery Margaret, not another razor,the instructions say to hold on to model number for purchase, they should go at least 18 months before new battery is needed, even longer if your not using every day. Rechargeable will work whilst being charged off one of those two pronged plugs. Vicky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
