My stepfather is in his nineties. A bro is the main care giver. He said that our stepfather is becoming unable to handle a blade razor. I did a web search for electric razors for seniors, and the information is quite overwhelming. Not only is the information voluminous, but it doesn't really help determine the most appropriate one.
Would people here be willing to share their anecdotes on the electric razor that they use?
I've listed the ones that are considered suitable by various websites. I see that Braun Series 7 790CC is always among the top, as is Panasonic Arc 4 or 5. Philips Norelco also tends to rank high, but different models, so it's are to infer a choice from that

A regular poster said he liked the Norelco.
Best of luck with your dad.
I am getting ready to purchase an electric razor to shave my mom’s chin hair that she finds irritating to her. A long time poster shared that this worked well for her mom.
