    Nice deal.
    Would this suit daily head shaving (ie. scalp)? Are there any suitable electric shavers for daily head shaving?

    • shadowarrior on 25/11/2013 - 15:43

      I have been using one of those cheap Remington hair cutting kits you can pick up from Target/Kmart for $20-$30 bucks for the last 5+ years to shave my head.

      Shave my head twice a month..and it has been going great.

      A hand razor is actually really easy and cheap. If you're doing it twice a month, maybe only $6 a year (2 or 3 blades)

      The Philips units USE to be good, but my current one has been replaced 3 times under warranty due to complete failures. The tech said that they are now 'made to a price' and not a standard.

      I'll be going with ANYTHING OTHER THAN Philips in future.

    I have had electronic shavers in the past but they never did a good job and I need to be clean shaven for my job. Is this one good enough to give a shave like a manual razor?

    • martyn on 25/11/2013 - 16:03

      No, I have never used an electric which was as good as wet shaving but this comes closer than most (pun intended!)

        I have to shave daily to stay clean shaven, and my 7 series does do the job. The main thing to do is shave first thing in the morning, and stretch your skin TIGHT as you shave to get the closest shave.

        I don't know if the 5 is the same/as good as the 7 series, so on that I can't comment…

    A big advantage with this model is that it will run using the cord.

    This means not only can you shave if the battery is flat but when the li-ion battery weakens in 3-5 years it will still be usable.

    • dddp on 25/11/2013 - 16:17

      I have an old battery/electric Remington shaver with ni-cads that's still going strong and lasts a few shaves on a charge. I'd expect a quality shaver made with quality parts to last much longer than 5yrs

      • 32768 on 25/11/2013 - 16:36

        So you're saying rechargeable batteries don't wear out from being partially charged and recharged everyday, okay, thanks!

        • DeWalt on 25/11/2013 - 16:47
          +1

          Let me tell you that Ni Cads and Li Ions -do- wear out. Would you believe someone if they told you that their tyres don't wear out on their car?

          There are a number of tricks that you can do to prolong batteries, depending on the type. A Google search will help you there.

          Some typical tips on batteries,
          - Some need a full charge and full discharge
          - Some only like to be charged to 80% - otherwise, they lose capacity quickly
          - Some suffer badly with heat
          - Some suffer badly if they fully discharge
          - Almost ALL suffer badly from over-charge
          - Some suffer if you don't fully discharge before you charge

          For Li Ion batteries, I
          - Charge to about 80% (or less), especially if you're not going to use them for a while
          - I make sure they are almost fully discharged every few months
          - I don't leave them in a hot place
          - I do not leave them charging overnight

          In other words, YMMV.

          My wife's batteries die quickly, mainly because she leaves her devices on charge 24/7 when she's not using them.

          There are many references on batteries. Here's one of the first I found on Google,

      bought one for 99, I tired using the voucher but its too complicated, it says you should link your ebay account to your paypal account, I tried doing it and got the sms code, still didn't work than couldn't be stuffed so just payed 99.

  • WeiKaiLe on 25/11/2013 - 16:11

    How long do the shaving heads/foils whatever normally last? I've never had an electric shaver before but I read in the reviews on amazon that they don't last long. They are $35 each so seems like a bit of ongoing cost if they don't last long.

    Also how long before the hairs get too long to shave with it?

    • uncyspam on 25/11/2013 - 16:17
      +3

      I've had my 7 series since Feb, and I shave daily with it, and its still going fine… I'd have used more than $35 worth of mach4's in that time…

    • dddp on 25/11/2013 - 16:22

      I'd like to know how long the foil lasts too. I'm also not sure that a foil would be as flexible as a multi head shaver - not sure what the correct name is, but the shaving head is made is segments that can flex individually and so confirm to the shape go your face more easily

      My Remington would have to be about 15yrs old - it's still on the original blade set

      • martyn on 25/11/2013 - 16:28
        +4

        The head on these swivels plus the cutting heads are "springy" so it follows the contours of your face quite well. Personally I find it causes less irritation than a rotary shaver.

    • martyn on 25/11/2013 - 16:25
      +1

      My foils last 6 months to a year. The razor includes a beard trimmer so if you find it is tugging the hairs you use the beard trimmer first and then shave.

    • 32768 on 25/11/2013 - 16:25
      +3

      shaving heads; how long depends on usage but 12-24 months, shavershop has them for $80+ship, which is laughable when this whole shaver is $99 free delivery. Ebay (OS) does foil and blade for half that.

      beard too long; has beard trimmer inbuilt so go once over with that, then shave normally.

    • johnno1987 on 25/11/2013 - 18:40

      The cleaning station in the 7 has an auto dry, and the razor has a faster motor meaning it will cut longer hair easier. There is probably more to list, but that's what I could see

    The $15 code seemed to be working through both eBay and PayPal, but after selecting ok the final invoice showed $99.

    No error code and I'm wondering if that is because $99 is the amount being paid to the vendor, but at the moment, as far as I can tell, I've paid $99.

    Still very happy with the deal of course!

    We have purchased 400 shavers in the last 5 hours. There was around 80 sold when I posted this, and now they have sold 486! That means we have spent roughly $40k on shavers. Can safely say this deal has been ozbargained, considering there is over 96% of the stock sold now.

    • [Deactivated] on 25/11/2013 - 20:42
