I have used both. I have just ditched a Phillips 3 Floating Head job for a cheap Korean foil one.
I started with a Remington Foil one and thought that the Phillips with 3 Floating Head might be better. Sadly it was not, it does not shave as close as the foil, even with an assortment of Pre-Shaves to help it.
However: a Foil's only drawback is that they have difficulty picking up hairs that are much over half a centimetre. They only pick up the ones that stick straight from the skin

I've used both and I like the floating head circular head razor (Norelco) the best. But, I went back to the old double edge safety razor for the best shaves.

That was so long ago I actually forgot the model number but any of the newer Norelco's with the floating heads use the same system.

Currently using a Kemei KM-2024.
But, I now have a beard so it's just for trimming the unshaven bits

Then you should probably go for a foil shaver for an electric as all the rotary shavers operate on the same principle.

i have this and i think it sucks https://www.amazon.com/Philips-Norelco-PT724-41-Packaging/dp/B00CP4H3T0/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2KYXGYKQUKKT4&dchild=1&keywords=norelco+pt724+razor&qid=1619375228&sprefix=norelco+pt724%2Caps%2C174&sr=8-1
I'd recommend one of the 5 blade or 6 blade ones.

CD: That has to be a spoof
Bruinator: Try the Kemei, it costs less than 20$ and charges from your PCs USB socket (but it takes 8 hours - Overnight is how I do it) - If you don't like it, at that price, you can afford to give it away

I'll find out next year. They said the heads need replaced once a year.
