I do not have extensive experience with different machines, but I have been using a double edge for over a decade. I have thick facial hair, and if I say that I will be shaved to the skin, then daily shaving is necessary.

The above machine was recommended to me as more effective for difficult situations such as tough beards. I got the grande handle because larger handles fit better in my hand. There is also a simpler model that is lighter, as well as just the head if you want to try it.

The machine, in the right hands and with the right blade, shaves perfectly. I would not recommend it for beginners because it does not forgive mistakes. If you have the technique with proper angles and pressure, then buy it without fear. Just make sure to match it with a sharp blade to avoid irritation. There is an opinion that with such an aggressive machine, you cannot shave every day. Personally, I disagree - effectiveness does not burden the skin with extra pressure and passes. Overall, I recommend it.
