Electric Shaver - As good as razor? Reccomendations?

[z28dreams]

I use a cheap electric shaver to get the rough stuff off, then do a normal shave.

Definitely the slowest option, but I find it to be the most comfortable and cleanest shave.

oh and ps, i think you razor guys are crazy, electric is WAY faster, w/o any mess, and it's impossible to make your face feel like total [censored].

I can't recommend this enough. It works better before or after, not in the shower. The trick is threefold:

1. Don't press hard; just touch it against your skin.
2. Use only enough lotion so that it glides smoothly, more is not better.
3. For problem areas (neck) hold it upside down.

I will never go back do disposables!

Has anyone tried that Panasonic thing that you're supposed to be able to shave, uh.... everywhere with?

I've used electrics for 15+ years. Braun is the best.

Electric is great. Faster, easier, and cleaner.

My uncle recommended this razor to me. I am ordering it off amazon today. I shave my head so I need something that is quicker that a regular razor. I have tried this and was very happy with the results.

I use the Braun Activator. It is awesome. I hightly recommend it.

The shave is close enough that your skin is completely smooth. Except the neck area can be troublesome. But for the chin/face, it's much faster and just as smooth as a blade. Plus you don't have to bother with shaving cream.

I used to have one of the low end Norelco shavers and my new one is much, much better. But I've heard good things about the high end Norelco shavers as well.

I have a very thin beard, so I only clean the thing every couple days. A bottle of the cleaning solution ($5) lasts me 2-3 months. Definitely get an electric that self-cleans, well worth the extra money.

i have a self cleaning braun that does decent job on the face but on the neck it still sucks.

I've tried various razors and electric shavers, but every since Gilette sent me a Mach 3 on my 18th birthday, that's been my workhorse. Doubt I'll ever switch.

Anyone who thinks that an electric can shave as close as a blade probably isn't really growing much facial hair yet.On an adult's face,it's just not possible.
