Razor bumps are created by the hair growing back into the skin, breaking it, and all the related inflammation/infection. Electric razors, particularly the Norelco, work on the premise of lifting the hair above the skin, cutting it, and letting the hair drop below the skin after the tension is released. For a man with even slightly curly hair, this is a recipe for DISASTER. The tighter the curl pattern the worse the results. The Norelco must go!
What he needs/wants is something that cuts close enough to give him a clean look, but leaves the hair at/above skin level so that the curl pattern doesn't dig back into the skin. He needs trimmers. Pick him up some professional quality trimmers like these or these. Make sure to also pick up spray lubricating disinfectant (not plain alcohol!), clipper oil, and store them in a large zip lock freezer bag (humidity protection). They will last literally forever as long as not dropped.
He will need to make trimming part of his daily routine. He may still get "razor" bumps in areas where his hair is particularly curly or if his hair grows fast even with the trimmers. So staying on top of it is a must. Also, running a CLEAN straight edge, like a credit card, against the grain of those hairs through the day may help them not dig into his skin. Most likely though, running a trimmer over his face once/twice a day should keep him clean "shaven" without the bumps.
They dull in part due to microscopic corrosion. Make sure the blades are clean and dry and touch them on a folded paper towel with a drop of clipper oil on it. The oil displaces moisture and oxygen, reducing corrosion.
I use these Andis clippers & so far they have been great! & make sure to pick up some good clipper oil too
I just had the same thought last month...When I was getting my hair cut, I asked my barber what he recommends. He grabbed one of his trimmers that I have seen with him for the last 10 years. He was hesitant at first to recommend it due to the price, but after I said I didn't mind, he said they pretty much last forever. I have been using it for the last few weeks and I absolutely love it, I am fully confident it will last the rest of my life. It is an absolute beast at trimming my thick beard too. Words cannot describe the level of quality you can feel when using it. I recommend these three items:
Edit: Just saw the part about reasonably priced...sorry if this is more than you are willing to spend, but I promise it is worth it. It is an all metal design and you can feel the weight of it.

I've been running hair clipper oil for about a year in all my motor bearings with no negative effects.
Only have had to replace 1 set of bearings and it was for performance reasons, not due to wear.
