This is the one a got a few months back... http://www.panasonic.ca/english/pers...ing/ES8224.asp
Costco Canada doesn't usually sell Panasonic shavers but the Richmond one got a shipment. They sold for $99 brand new, not refurbs. If they are sold out check Costco in the US or Target. I almost bought from there for a bit more, they had the same model but with the cleaning/charging dock.

What's some good adjustable shavers, if there are any? I like to keep like a 5'o'clock shadow look, but have to use a hair trimmer to do it.

This is the one I am currently using. Picked it up in the states for 130-140. Pretty good price considering they sell it here for 200+ just for the razor. http://www.consumer.philips.com/c/me..._22/prd/en/ca/
If your going to head down, pick up the flexcare sonicare too. I got it at Costco for 140 for two units. They sell it here for almost 200 just for 1 unit. lol.. Best toothbrush on earth..! http://www.consumer.philips.com/c/to..._10/prd/en/ca/ | |

picked up my braun single head at costco last year and i would rate it 3/5 because i find that it doesn't shave as close so i would need to go over certain sections multiple times to get that smooth finish i want...i get irritations half of the time depending on how thick the hair is, thicker = more strokes
bro is using the philips 3 round head, i think i'll give it a try next time and let u guys know which 1 i like better..although i think i'll be a total noob at it since i've never tried it

I heard that the 3 circle ones generally dun give as close of a shave as the roller type. Mine is a 2 circle philips and the shave is not really good.

I've found that the trimmers on shavers are never good. Better off buying a dedicated set of trimmers or mini clippers that you can use for other jobs too (hair cut, body hair, pets, etc). Check out eBay and search for the Wahl Peanut, Wahl Alpha and Wahl Omega, all are great products and are very reasonable if purchasing online.
