Norelco and Remington?

[Tool Guy - Kg]

Might be time to get an electric rotary shaver. Disposable shavers aren't very sharp and don't last long. Anyone out there experienced with Norelco & Remington?

From what I see, Norelco's lift & cut feature seems to be a unique feature. Does that make it a nicer/better/closer shaver than the Reminton?....or is all that just marketing hype? :)

I have a Norelco that works in the shower. It squirts a gell on the blades to help soften the beard also. I like it.

The only lectric' shaver I kin' use for any period wifout' my face a-breakin' out is a Norelco.... and they last me one long time.

Discount stores have em' fer' $20 - $100 depending on the functionality but.... my current Norelco cost over $300.... and the only place I could find it was on the net.

Home chargeable, car chargeable, pop-up clipper, shower usable, computer brain, nose picker, duals, quads, cams, carbs, lowered, bored, stroked, rolled, pleated, tufted etc.

Besides I always kinda' liked o'l Victor Kiam. .. ... :sheep:

I thought Victor hawked for Remington.

Had a Norelco like Jerry has, but ya hafta use more water if'n ya don't turn the water off whilst ya shave.. (Bad for the environment)
Besides, the recharger went out and made it useless.
Have a NEW PHILIPS NORELCO 8160 XLCC SPEED-XL ELECTRIC SHAVER coming..
Dave, I think it has a speed shifter on it too.....
Let ya know how it does.. Got it on Ebay... :D

I don't really remember who o'l Victor hawked fer'... just that he was sooo impressed he bought the company....

I have a Norelco basic model but with a lithium battery and I can't shave when it's plugged in. I do like it though.

[Dave Taylor]

You can't shave when whats plugged in?

Dave, please don't encourage him. :shake:

IMO shaving is a barbaric practice. I last shaved 40 years ago and haven't looked back. My two brothers too - we look like the Smith Brothers. :gerg:

I was jealous of a buddy of mine who was allowed a beard while working for AFOSI in San Antonio.

I've had several electric razors over the last eight years. Braun worked the best for me. I went back to a razor and shaving cream two years ago, though. Have a friend who shaves his head every day with shaving soap and a straight razor. I tell him that I think of the SNL skit with Bill Murray and Steve Martin as the barber mentioning to Bill that he needs a good 'bleeding'.

Cheers.

All this shavin' stuff reminds me of a yoke..... which is about as bad as the last one I told.

Seems o'l Tonto Goldstein (aka Bubba) was a-toolin' down a Wis country road when he sees this new sign outside a "strip" mall salon what says UNISEX CUTS, NO WAITING.

Well.... bein' fair rural.... o'l Bubba ain't never heard of such a thing.... and a-havin' a little time to kill and a few bucks to spend.... he figures he's stoppin' to gits' some-o-that UNI-SEX.... whatever it is. Sooo... Bubba pulls over, parks and walks in to the salon where a pretty receptionist greets him

Bubba pulls out a fifty and states his desire for "some-o-that UNI-SEX service" and the receptionist figures out right away o'l Bubba's got the wrong idea.

"Sir" she stammers.... "we only clip hair here".

"Kinky" Bubba replies... "but I'll give-er' a shot. You want me to git's up in this chair?"

Flustered, the receptionist stammers "We only do your head, Sir".

"Wow" exclaims o'l Tonto as he climbs into the barber chair.... "lets' git's on wif' it!"

Man.... I can't continue this story... it's just too funny.
