Any recommendations or things we should consider when buying our son an electric shaver. He has sensitive skin and Athetoid CP. His fine motor skills aren't great but we hope with practice he may be able to shave himself. 
Many thanks

    Braun 7 or 9 are pretty good, I use a series 7 myself.

    Hello, I had to go from wet shaving to electric shaving due to my balance and started to cut myself to often. I use a small rotary Remington, bought a spare set of geneuine cutters on eBay. See if you can have a hold of display models in Boots or shops that sell them he will want,require a shaver that’s light and comfortable to hold.

    Hi thanks Wilko we had a drive out to Boots today and had a feel of the display models and bought a Braun. Steve should be on commission.
