Know a few of you use the itrim things... has anybody got the new one?
I've bought the last 3, first 2 were crap, battery died within 3 months and had to use it on mains... the last one is good, and still use it, but after 10 months the battery has started to go... so need a new one.

Don't know whether to get the latest one, or something else, what do you lot use?
I would clean shave, but I get bad shaving rash & look about 11 years of age if I do so.

Was considering this also,
Mach 3 is a bit old school and I look twelve when I have to shave every 3rd day, not to mention the irritation

I have the non digital version and have done for a while. Good bit of kit. Although I just use it without the guard if I cba with a wet shave.
I am tempted to buy a proper electric shaver tbh.
And yes I am fully aware that this reply has not helped in the slightest....

Saw the advert, thought about it, heard the name, ruled it out.

I might get one.
Kind of obvious but do you wash your face before shaving? I find if I wash my face then leave it 10-15 minutes before shaving I don't get a shaving rash.

No matter what I use or how I do it I cut & rash
Probably doesn't help that I need to be clean shaven for work & by the time one shift ends I've got a full on santa again

Didn't see this thread when i posted in the other.
I got the second to latest one off ebay for £14.99 last week. Its shit.
If you hold it anything but 90 degrees it takes big chunks out your stubble meaning you have to have a proper shave anyway or you look a muppet.
EDIT: This is one I got:

Ive got the non motorised one,
I think its great, best thing Ive bought in a while, it was only 20bagger from boots, does the job nice
used to hate wet shaving, I could never be arsed buying blades so Id always have a blunt one, and with no styubble I look like a child
bit less scary wafting the iTrim round my ball bag than a mac3 too

I dont get how you boys use it without taking big chunks out? Especially around the jaw line, amazon is full of reviews of people with the same problem

i used to have this, and yes it was hard to use to trim stubble, i used to just turn it other way and cut off as much as possible, only reason if i wet shave following day my face itches like fuck. its impossible to get it all same length inless you do what i do then you have very little left on your face

I've had the first model for a few years, rarely use it now. It never seemed to give an even shave.
