For myself, after a rotary as I have always had one and like them the best for my face! Last few I bought around the $100 mark, but willing to spend to $200. What is a good buy?

Thanks already have been and loked at shavershop, was gunna buy next week, ooks like their sale has finished today!! Was just wondering where else otehr have bought theirs from, maybe overseas is a bit risky with warranty/power issues?
We usually tend to buy them around Fathers Day, as there are usually specials around that time. Not much help to you now though, I know.
Neil posted a very sweet deal a while back, price went up a bit but still cheaper than Oz: http://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/50974
+1 to this.
Shavers have universal power supplies too so all you'll need is a pin adapter (US socket to Australian plug).
Make sure you don't need to actuate a physical switch to make it 240V compatible (Should be auto-switching I think, but definitely worth double checking)
i'd get one overseas. Shavers are one of those items that very rarely have issues with when purchased new.
Also as someone mentioned, they have unoiversal power supplies (atleast the name brands).Thanks guys, looks like OS buy is the way to go, even thought I really want to buy here, but the difference is too much. SO USA the best place, Amazon? How about UK?
I've been having a look for a shaver aswell. I've found this one: http://www.amazon.com/Panasonic-ES8243A-Rechargeable-Electri…
It has 630 reviews with an average of 4.5/5 so i guess that makes it good value and its around $110 shipped. I'm just not 100% sure if it ships to Aus, as it also says its going through ANTOnline. Anyone confirm if it ships to Aus?
I also have purchased the Panasonic ES8243 from excelzus on ebay (2yrs ago). I love it -far less skin/hair problems. Replacement blades/foils are cheap and easily found online.
OK, it is going to be a 1150, 1160, 1250 or 1260, all philips. Dont really know the diffrence apart from the 11x is 2D, and the 12x is 3D. The rest I am not sure? Is the cleaning option a waste of $'s? I cant see what is hard running water thru it manually…..
So does anyone know the difference between the 1150, 1160, 1250 or 1260? I dont have coarse hair, 5 oclock shadow etc, I nearly could get away and shave every 2nd day, so dont need anything real flash!
Just got Harris Scarfe's catalogue email. They have several shavers on special this week, 30 to 50 percent off:
http://catalogues.harrisscarfe.com.au/portal/dynamiccatalogu…Since I haven't bought anything from Amazon, do I just put the order thru as per any other online sites and it just happens? As there are plenty of other places in USA I can buy them (listed in Amazon, 42 to be exact), do I just use Amazon as they are the best to deal with? How long does delivery take? Would I get before chrissy If I ordered one now?
Anyway there were 1150's for sale @ $79.97 - $30 coupon thingy only an hour or two ago, now I have went to order it after reading up on them and deciding on the 1150 or 1250 and they are out of stock again!!!! It says "Order now and we'll notify you via e-mail when we have an estimated delivery date for this item. Order now and we'll notify you via e-mail when we have an estimated delivery date for this item. Estimated shipping:
This item will arrive after December 25, 2011"
Is that bull, or worst case scenario?
Has anyone been watching these and how quick they replinish the stock? Was going to get the replacement blades also at $27 which is under a third of the price here.
Anyway just realised if I order it doesnt include the coupon. Dang!!Now says
Usually ships within 2 to 4 weeks.
Estimated delivery: Dec. 23, 2011 - Jan. 12, 2012 .
…. blah blah blah…..his item will arrive after December 25, 2011.Is this worst case scenario? Have others that have been told 2 - 4 weeks, recieved it earlier or even later?
Replacement blades have gone up a few bucks also overnight.
Have you tried looking at the discounts at http://www.shavershop.com.au/ ? Otherwise, if you're willing to wait for delivery, try http://www.amazon.com
