The Braun foil shavers are well designed and I find they work well for sensitive skin if you prepare properly. Make sure you apply a hot towel to your face followed by a shaving conditioner. When applying the shaver, press lightly. Don't be afraid to go over the same areas several times to get most of the whiskers. Once you do this for about a week, your skin should begin to adapt to the sensation of electric shaving. You'll then be able to use the shaver more aggressively and get a thorough shave.

What is the best beard trimmer for styling and sensitive skin?

Yes, you are right! Now a days most of the people are using electric shaver because of its advantages like:
  1. It gives a fast shave.
  2. It is cheaper than manual shaving kits
  3. It gives a smooth shave and also there is no chance to get cut or skin irritation
If you are looking for beard trimmer than i will let know that trimmers are used to cleaning up the edges. I would recommend you to use clippers rather than using trimmers because clippers are used for doing the bulk of a haircut.

How should I shave with an electric shaver in case I have a sensitive skin?

In case you have a sensitive skin, I advise you to start shaving the sensitive areas first and then the less sensitive areas. The reason is because most electric shavers tent to heat-up during the shaving process which can cause irritations to your skin.

Bought a Braun series 3 razor (#340 wet and dry). It hardly shaves the whiskers but it really messes my skin up. ( I was using a Norelco which did a pretty good job) I think there is something wrong...

You should be able to run your finger over the foil mesh on the Braun shaver to feel if there are any rough spots causing the problem you describe. If there is damage you may also be able to see it.

It could also be that the Braun shaver simply does not agree with your skin type. There are many people who are sensitive to different kinds of shaving methods. Foil shavers like Braun may not be the type of shaver for you

Where can I buy a braun 5416 integral shaver

This model has been discontinued for several years. It is not likely that you will find another of the same model number.

Probably, the best you can hope for is to purchase a similar model. The most similar current model is the Braun 560. You can find it at shaveroutlet.com at the link below

My Braun shaver 8585 has died. Foil, cable, box, Clean and charge unit as new. Which Braun shaver replaces Braun 8585 and can utilise good pieces?

If I understand correctly, the shaver is dead but all other components are in good condition. If this is the case, you should consider ordering a replacement lower unit. See shaveroutlet.com link below

Newer models made by Braun do not use all the same parts as your shaver so this would be a good way to go

Oil

Per page 13 of a Braun Shaver manual:

If your skin is very dry and you notice a reduced
operation time of the shaver or if the display shows «oil!»,
apply a drop of light machine oil onto the shaver foil.
