What Trimmer/Electric Shaver to buy? 2014/9/24 09:30
A good day to you all! I asked a question here before and you helped me out greatly! I thanked you then and I thank you again :)

Now, I have searched the questions but couldnt find one that fits my problem.

This is probably for the people who live in Japan permanently.

When I came to Japan I brought an electric shaver with trimming function from Germany and used it without problems. I have lost the charger cable so I went to buy a new machine in Japan. However I found that this machine, even though advertised with trimming function, was not capable of cutting my beard. It seemed like the blades were simply not strong enough so instead of cutting it nicely, it actually rather pulled, which was uncomfortable and hurt. I have given up on that machine and I have tried another one at a friends, which gave me the same result. Apparently I have thick beard hair (which I was unaware of) and now I am a bit cautious to buy a new product. Since hygene products arent really the type to return after use, can somebody, maybe with the same experience or a "thick" beard recommend me a good machine that has a strong enough trimmer? Or even just a trimmer, a close shaving function is not needed since I use wet shaving for that.

But at this point, anything that shaves my beard without trying to rip my face off would be very welcome. Please help!

Thank you!

If like Japan's buy a "Panasonic".
http://panasonic.jp/shaver/

If not "Braun" or "Philips" usual.
http://www.braun.com/jp/male-grooming.html
http://www.japan.philips.co.jp/shaver/

Pana,Bra and Phili are top 3 brands in Japan.
Phili is top share in the world but not in Japan. (top is bra)

First of all thank you for your answer!

I have already researched products and brands in Japan, and it was the Panasonic one that I had a problem with, I am not looking for just a brand but rather a specific product recommendation, if possible from somebody who has experience with a densely growing beard and that product. After I researched the product I tried two which I thought were quality products, though they failed to cut my beard. I never knew this could be a problem but before I buy a new one I would like some recommendations :)
