Over the years, I've been a Philips devotee, and nothing I do changes that. I have fairly stiff stubble (not quite Desperate Dan stuff). I have tried Braun (useless batteries), Remington (useless, full stop) and Lidl (left me with a rash). I always go back to Philips, having regretted even considering changing make.
Last year I splashed out on a Philips 9000 Prestige series and by far the best shave ever. Not cheap by any means but you can get a deal on Amazon, or Boots at Christmas. It has self-sharpening cutters - not new, but these work better than they used to. So far, after a year of use, I have no regrets whatsoever. The only Philips shaver that ever got this close was the one that had a Nivea cream dispenser built in. Now defunct but that was brilliant.
By the way, I've found over the last five years or so that the Philips "wet and dry" shavers perform best with a foam. A lot less friction. Messy, but good if you've got sensitive skin.
