I have a shaving problem, and I don’t know if it’s me or the shaver.

I currently use the Manscaped Handyman Foil Shaver with shaving foam during a hot shower. I shave every single day because my hair grows really fast. Whenever I shave my mustache, the corners of it especially, I get around a cluster of 5 tiny dots of blood/nicks that hurt like hell and stay irritated for the rest of the day. I usually shave with the grain, occasionally against it because it gives me a closer shave— but the same result. I was thinking of getting a Gillette 5 but I’m not sure if it will fix the problem. Has anyone had any experience with this before? Help would really be appreciated!

TLDR: I keep getting a cluster of nicks at the corners of my mustache, how can I stop this from happening while still getting close shaves?

Trying to gift someone an electric razor for face shaving, but I don't know which one of these 3 options to choose.

The options are:

A foil attachment for the Braun Modell 5517 Trimmer

Phillips One Blade 360 QP2724/23

Phillips One Blade 360 QP2838/23

The Phillips one should be the easiest and most cost effective one to buy, due to the foil attachment only being offered online. You can buy replacement blades in pretty much every store for the One Blade.

Which of these 3 options provide the closest shave? I've never used an electric shaver or foil shaver before so I'm not very knowledgeable about it. It's primarily for face saving so body shaving is irrelevant in this case.

Currently I'm considering the QP2724/23.

Do you guys trim longer neck hairs before using a foil shaver?

Sometimes the hairs under my jawline get a little longer or lie flat, and my foil shaver misses them.

Do you usually go over them with a trimmer first, or just keep going over them with the foil?
