It depends on the design of the foil. The foil shaver you refer to is probably a reicprocating shaver with blades that move from side to side. The holes tend to be larger and so skin irritation and shaver burn can result. The rotary shaver is likely a better choice depending on your particular choice.
Yes we have an "axe to grind" - or rather a blade to grind - as we suggest you look at the Hair eRazor which is the best value and has most advanced features in body shavers.
The foil head is usually thinner on a reciprocating shaver than the foil on a rotary shaver. Therefore the reciprocating shaver usually gives the closer shave.
However thin foils are more easily damaged... thus a rotary shaver usually cuts for longer than a reciprocating electric razor. A rotary razor usually needs the heads changed every 2 years. Foils on a reciprocating razor seem to last about half as long... they are also more prone to accidental damage.
Both types of blades are expensive to replace and the cost often exceeds the cost of a complete razor.
One advantage of the reciprocating foil is that it seems to be less prone to clogging.
The new linear magnetic drives on reciprocating razors give the best shave among the reciprocating razors. Philips seems to do the best and cheapest rotary head razors.
