What is the best electric shaver to use for spouse with dementia who has never used one?

My DH with dementia; he is also on a blood thinner. Picked up a Wahl "Peanut" (at Sally's) hair and beard trimmer. Trim his neck and mustache with no attachment, then his cheeks with smallest attachment. Chin whiskers are a mixed bag of no attachment and second smallest attachment. Nose hairs with that head. He looks so good when he is trimmed; keep up with it once a week. Wishing you good luck!

Shaving my bedridden husband was quite a feat. He always had a tough beard. He was very agitated when I shaved him, so I tried to do it when he was sleepy and more relaxed. I used a beard trimmer which was narrower than a regular shaver. His neck was a challenge due to a lot of loose skin. When possible, have someone else help you. I used a preshave to soften his beard.

Hi there. I’ve just bought a Philips 5000 series shaver to shave my Dad. I use King of Shaves sensitive oil with it (It’s a wet and dry model) and it works like a treat. It’s not noisy and Dad says it is very gentle. Afterwards I moisturise with an aqueous cream and he looks great.

I switched DH to an electric razor when he cut a mole on his face , which he has always had , while shaving himself . He never used one before as he has a very heavy beard but they are made better than they were years ago and even tho he doesn’t get quite as close a shave it is really good enough. I’m doing things for him I never thought I’d do but somehow I am too nervous to take over shaving him with a regular razor so this was our answer to that particular problem .In fact he likes the razor so much he can’t figure out why he never used one before . We use the Norelco aquatic rechargeable which of course we got from Amazon .

My Dad has dementia and he is not able to shave himself, someone has to shave him and no shaving cream when using an electric razor..
I like the recharge kind so you don't have the cird in the way.

My husband with dementia is no longer able to shave himself. Older men usually have beards that are too stiff for regular shavers. I use an electric hair trimmer for my husbands face and hair. It is called a groomer and has different attachments for a close shave as well as different hair lengths. It is a Wahl brand, rechargeable, and works great.

Gilette Treo if anyone still needs a manual razor to shave someone else.

Best Remington cheap good shave no irritation Amazon about 50$$
i neverusedone till I became paraplegic

I use shaving cream and a razor which the patient used prior to becoming “disabled.” I found that it is easier to shave him in his hospital bed laying flat with a pan of warm water and wash cloth nearby. Make sure you soften his beard with soap and water before applying the shaving cream. My patient does not stay still so it is almost impossible not to nick him, but I found that I could hold his head position better in bed than sitting up for shaving. If you use a razor get a Styptic Pencil Shaving Cut Stick to Stop Bleeding for Razor Nicks and Minor Cuts.

Is he able to express a preference for how you should help him shave - if he wants wet shaving is this a difficulty for you? If you can get him to tell you what he wants then so much the better, if he ends up growing a beard and moustache that you can just trim then maybe this is easier and preferable in the long run.
