What is a good electric shaver/razor for men?

My boyfriend has two, and I have a picture of them. But for Christmas I want to get him a better one, and I am willing to spend some money to get a nice one. The problem is I know absolutely nothing about them. He said the brand he likes is something like Wahl. Please help.

Update:

I don't think he really cares too much whether or not its rotary of foil. Could you maybe give me some suggestions for both kinds?

    Difficult choice to be sure. I looked at the photos you provided but that isn't the type that I use myself. I prefer the ones with three rotating discs and a pivotal head. Anything that has a 'trimmer' with it would be really nice too. Your best bet is to ask him which type of shaving head he likes, 'rotary' or 'foil (such as the one you showed)'. But listen, I 'can' tell you which is my favorite razor blade. It doesn't need batteries and would make for a nice stocking stuffer because we men cannot always take our electric razors wherever we go. This Gillette fusion 'pro glide' is awesome (get an extra set of razors to go with it so b/f doesn't have to buy them a month down the road).

    EDIT: Heys... lets just say, we LOVE tech gizmos. If you are willing to spend some, get something with the ability to trim sideburns, etc..and can be used in either wet/dry conditions (shower, etc). Swivel type heads that offer a very close shave are fantastic. Again, stocking stuff, why not also buy him a gentleman's shaving kit that includes expensive and tasteful stuff. My own shaver cost just over $100 (phillips) and has a trimmer on it, love it.

    a reliable razor isn't inexpensive, a minimum of what I call inexpensive. I even have in undemanding terms used some distinctive ones. II have a Braun i offered for, say, $a hundred and ten approximately 14 years in the past. i will't have self assurance the rechargeable battery remains reliable, alongside with the Shaver. individually, i'd follow a Braun. i think of they flow from approximately $one hundred to $250. shaver.
