Depending on your hair follicle you might need to try both Norelco and Braun. Both have to different solutions to the same problem. I noticed that for myself, and I have very course hair that grows in every which direction, that a Braun works much better. My father on the other hand, who has very fine hair, uses a Norelco and it works for him but not for me.
However, in the end I still use a blade, its still the closest shave I can get every morning. I am contemplating trying a shavette for the weekends.

I seem can only shave with a blade every other day. the second day it seems the blade tears up my face but I get a nice shave the day after. I use sensor blades which works shave very good but expensive. the Braun sounds like it would be my type of razor. I work out of town alot and would think the electric razor would be nice.
I have some $40 one i got from Longs and Drugs thats pretty good. Its a Remington R850. It does a nice clean shave and has one flip up attachment to get the longer hairs.

If the blades are tearing your face up its one of two things. Either A. You are using cheap blades. I dont know what "sensor blades" are. I personally use the Gillette Fusion. One blade lasts me maybe 10 days. or B. You are not preparing your face for shaving properly. That means before shaving, depending on how coarse your beard, massaging a pre-shave oil into your skin, then following up with the shaving cream. However, dont go out and buy a pre-shave oil just yet. Find a shaving cream that you can work into your beard, and then shave normally. That means wet your face, and seriously rub the shit into your beard, you want to soften the hair and in the morning that means the difference between ripping the hair out with the root or cutting it off.
Gillette sensor there about $15 for 5. there like the fusion but twin blade. I shave in the shower and use a shave soap that comes from a barber. for some reason never been able to shave back to back. I need a little more growth it seems.

I highly recommend you switch up to the Mach 3 Turbo at the very least, the more blades there are the closer they are. Those two blade heads you are using can easily be the reason you are butchering your face.
Are you shaving first with the grain, and then against the grain? Normally hair on your face grows down, hair on your neck grows up.
I have noticed that a lot of people dont do that and wind up torturing themselves.
I still use a disposable blade. But for an electric shaver it works great and has lasted me like 6-7 years. Oh, and I just refill the cleaning cartridge with Rubbing Alcohol. It has worked for me.
i have two different electric shavers neither was cheap and i still end up going back to regular razors. i prefer the more expensive cartidge style ones (i think i have the Mach 3), but even the cheap BIC ones seem to shave closer and irritate my skin less than the electric ones

IMO the sensor is one of the best blades out there still....
the braun's are nice, especially with the self cleaning base.
i find myself going over the same spots over and over with it however, probably just the way my hair is.
will it give you a good shave? absolutely,
will it be as close or closer than a blade shave? no
