Great idea saving a lot of time

My Suggestion:

Here is a forum where you can get a lot of good answers about shaving and electric shavers, I think they will have more knowledge, atl east as an additional resource
Badger & Blade

I suggest you to go for a Philips one. Very good and lasting.

haven't been checking new shavers for several years, though you might wanna consider a few things before deciding:

- its useful to have a rechargeable shaver so one can choose between shaving while the shaver is connected to a power outlet/socket or when there is no outlet/socket available - the battery capacity should be able to cover at least a week of continuous/daily usage
- the shaver surface which comes in direct contact with the skin shouldn't be too wide, thin & bendable since there is a good chance it would end up broken/hollowed if pressed too hard
- afaik circular shaped shaving blades mechanism (the mechanism consists of a few round 'heads') does a better job than straight shaped ones (the 'heads' are parallel/linear)
- its useful to have a water-proof (shaving) chamber underneath the blades which can withstand cleaning with water

i could recommend philishave (phillips), but that one was bought like 5+ years ago

A long time ago, someone recommended I go to a big electronics store and try the shavers to see which is best for me. Ask them, it is maybe possible to try in your area

I bought Braun 3 years ago and it was amazing! Stopped using it thou. Before I didn't shave for 2 weeks now I shave every few days and I prefer to do it with ordinary razer. Check for new Braun shaver.

have had the same braun model #6520 for 9 years now, only thing you must change the foil every 2-3 years. great razor!

normal "foil" blades will give you a better close shave than rotary blades but it is not as soft on skin as foil one. Also foil razors are easier to clean.
So if you have a sensitive skin, I'd suggest getting rotary razors. But if you are looking for a much better close shave, get a foil-shaver.
