Shaving. Electric razor suggestions please.

Hello, I'm new here. My brother has learning difficulties, but lives independently. He manages his own self care fairly well, but struggles with shaving. We are finding it difficult to find an electric shaver which works effectively for him. (He is unable to do a wet shave.) Can anyone recommend a good electric shaver please? Thanks

We have always got the Philips rotary shavers for our son, he finds them easy to use. There are several models, the faster charging ones are more expensive. If you shop around you can usually find a good offer.

Hey Noebardoes , welcome to the forum! My brother has learning disabilities and also struggles with shaving. I find reviews on amazon quite helpful when looking at new products, Which also tend to have good reviews too. Come back and let us know how you get on. All the best, Fx

My brother is also unable to wet shave and uses an electric shaver. I agree that amazon is the best place to start as the reviews are very helpful.

It might be helpful to get him to dhave more often than normal. Perhaps nught and morning as part of their daily routine. We found that helped.
