Are you referring to the Titan Freestyle Pro? That scooter has larger wheels (125 mm) than the Razor Pro (98 mm), that may handle rough pavement better than the Razor. It also has a platform that extends past the rear wheel, for doing wheelies or just resting your free foot, if the main footboard isn't large enough. If you prefer Razor scooters the Razor A3 also uses 125 mm wheels and has a wheelie bar. However the A3 has a weight limit of only 143 pounds, so not so good for stunts or if you're rough on your equipment.

Johnny B G is correct. You should just buy the basic one for $35 if it works then great if it is just ok then next time upgrade. It is just like my Phillips electric razors, there are many price levels but they all do basically the same thing, shave my face. I could pay $30 for a basic or $200 for a fancy one with a cleaner and clock (really a clock). I go with the basic everytime because the blades are about $28 to replace so I have a lot of old razors. Hope this helps, and yes Phillips should let you replace the batteries rather than toss the old unit when the batteries fail.

Good Evening, The Merkur is very reliable and one of the smoothest shaves I have had from razors. Pimples will be irritated with any razor you buy, less so with a one blade than with more blades which will likely cause the pimply razor burn mess. I hope that helps.Good Day.

Any Double Blade (DE) razor. The brand does matter. Just do a search for safety razors. Don't spend a lot of money on one either. I am currently using a Parker butterfly safety razor. I am happy with it.

I purchased a Merkur double edge razor and the feather hi-stainless platinum stainless blades.After my purchase I was given a membership to the Dollor shave club as a gift for Xmas.The dollor shave club razor was so superior to the double edge razor I haven't used the Merfur razor since, I strongly recommend the dollor shave club.

The LA63 is the first electric razor I have used so I can't compare it to Braun. I'm not heavy bearded. That said, I find that the LA63 does as good a job on my upper lip and nose area as it does the rest of my face. As far as I'm concerned the big head is not a problem.

I have both (bought the ES8103S first), and the ES8243A is by far the better shaver for me. My 60+ year old face has some tough hair growth and getting a close shave was always a dream, until the ES8143A.A shave does take me 4 to 6 minutes due to some tough under chin areas so I only get 3 to 4 shaves per charge but for me it is worth it. I get up to a year on the foil/blades before I have to replace them. Unfortunate the foil/blades are so expensive. The shaver is 4 years old and going strong.

It is the unit only. That's not a surprise as the gel is $60 for 4 1200 ml units. You pay more for the blades so the razor is cheaper.

I have this razor as well as a Gillette Fatboy. This razor is quite a bit milder than the Fatboy, even with the Fatboy set to "1". I really enjoy my Parker, and feel its at least as good as my Fatboy. Its also a mild razor, so it'll give you the option of re-learning this method of shaving, and then purchasing a vintage when you get back into the groove. :-)

I have had a Braun shaver since 1986 always liked it, close shave. I was in the retail business and one of our products was electric razors. I always told a customers if you are happy with your shave results don't change brands just upgrade existing. The ones that decided to purchase a Braun because of my reviews had 30 day money back guarantees. Why series 7 over #5 ? The reviews I read made me feel like the #7 had all the bells and whistles and the razor felt good in my hand. I have shaved pretty much every day for over 40 years , a medium heavy beard my wife had to tell to quit bragging about getting the best shave of my life with the series #7. Best features swivel head, great on the neck, cord can be taken on a trip without the cleaning unit. You can refill the cleaning canisters, it does well on a 3 day growth. Pricey yes, I am retired , If my son had a razor on his gift list this is the one I would buy. Sorry I couldn't make a big comparison.

You'd be better off with the razor series probably the 500 or 650. It's battery powered less expensive and easier to ride and maintain

I would recommend going with the Oster Titan instead. The t finisher is small and really meant more for detailing. They get hot if you use them for more than cleaning up around the ear, neckline or for barbering designs.

Unless you are a collector, only buy the Feather. If I had bought it first instead of last, I could have used it by itself and avoided all the other razors. The biggest mistakes were the Muhle 41 and the Ikon DLC slant. There is nothing like the Feather, except possibly the Pils.

I don't know anything about the Titan anymore - but if you go on the Miele site they have a comparison link you can use that show it by the columns.

I used Gillette disposables (not cartridges) before getting this razor and personally, there was almost no learning curve for me. First shave with it I drew no blood :) The blades you use will be harder to figure out as each blade brand works differently for different beards. You will be spending a couple/few months finding the blade that works best. Start off with large sample pack, try those, see what is available near you and try them. One brand will shave you very different from another brand, each beard is different. Make sure you have some sort of blade bank for your used blades, I use empty Alt*ids cans that I tape up when full. Make sure you are using soap and brush for lather, you will not like the shave from this razor with foam/gel. A great resource for info on wet shaving is badgerandblade dot com. Buy this razor, you will not regret it and the environment will really appreciate it.

The 5580 is $10 more but has 14 settings while the 5570 has 13. It comes with a travel case, but the "plus" is the additional foil head for shaving. For the extra $10 bucks it can shave, but I don't know how close the shave is. Need to read up on this. It is basically the same model though with these additions.

OK, I did the research as well and contacted the seller. The Pro for $139.00 has 7 argon gas (violet) electrodes and 3 Neon gas (orange) electrodes. The sellers should me links to prove to me that BOTH...Argon ( violet) and Neon (orange) electrodes do the same thing....they both take care of acne, wrinkles, tighten skin ect...ect...I was worried about the same as you. the electrodes do everything for your skin...( I did NOT mention it all above).This PRO for $139.00 has 26 watts... very strong! The rest ONLY have 10, 15 or 20 watts.
