Black Friday - I want to buy an Electric Razor

I want to buy myself an electric razor.  Which? we’re pointing me in the direction of the Braun or the Remington. 

Two good makes, no doubt but the prices omg. Even with reduction the Braun would set me back £313 (48%) while the Remington would set me back £170 (37%) discounts  

If not massaging the figures what’s the  chances of been reduced even more in the Black Friday Sale. Or maybe their younger brothers will get a major reduction. A razor is  all I’m interested in this year.  Amazon is just a guide price 

Any suggestions?

    You can get ones for a lot cheaper than that. Are you after a specific model?

    Younger Brother? More likely to be more expensive given they are newer. Older brothers are where the deals are given they've out of production but not yet sold. 

    Why the wanting to buy any form of electric razor? Depending on what you are used to a basic model may be a step up -v- the top of the range model?

    I know what you mean, I need one now for a personal reason. Having looked at the prices I’m going to have to cut my cloth to suit

    If budget is your issue, then there are some well rated ones on the Boots site on a black Friday deal for less than £100. I've personally always found Boots is very competitive on this sort of thing.

    There's also a deal for £10 worth of advantage card points for every £60 spent on electricals at the moment.

    https://www.boots.com/remington-limitless-x7-rotary-shaver-10327404 £59.99 down from £169.99.

    https://www.boots.com/braun-series-6-60-b1200s-electric-shaver-for-men-10283672 £89.99 down from £199.99

    At the moment I’m having a closer look at prices. I’m still staying with Braun and Panasonic. Two reasons really

    1. Both have a good range of shavers at different prices and
    2. I could start running all over the place to see if I could save an extra £ but end up with something I don’t really want

    Ive taken your advice and I’ll hold back to Black Friday, in the meantime I’ll pick a few of the offerings and see what’s what on the big day 🤓
