Electric Razors

[Smittie61984]

I remember us having some shaving aficianados on here. I use a normal Mach3 razor for shaving. I don't grow a full thick beard but enough to annoy the piss out of me (but too little to sport). I'm looking for something quick, effective, and reliable.

Any suggestions on eletric razors? Is there a difference between the rotating ones and the straight ones?

I'm looking to spend around $50-100.

appreciate any help.

I'm just lazy and busy. I rather plug in (or flip a switch) and knock it out.

What about Remington or Norelco? Brauns seemed to be $100+

Ask for an upside down Brazilian.

Tell 'em Homeslice sent you.

I have a Norelco razor that worked great until I dropped it.

I had bought hubby a Norelco that he seems to like. But who knows with him.

I got a Norelco for this full time guard gig. Shaving every day FTL.

They even have one that jizzes on your face while you shave, in case that's your thing.

All electric razors ever did to me was give me a wicked case of razor burn. I prefer blades.

They get spendy, and after your face/beard get used to it, the electric works pretty good.

When I didn't shave every day, I prefer blades, now shaving every day, I vote electric.

That is why you buy one that can be used in the shower, and that has a high RPM so it cuts instead of pulling.

Panasonic = best quality for the dollar, and that goes for everything they make.

On my 2nd norelco, I love them, makes shaving easy, but if I let it grow more than 4 days the electric doesn't work and just pulls the hair out rather than cut out off. I keep a few mach 3s around for when i need them. Other than that I love the electric razors.

Electric razors can't shave me close enough. I use a blade only.

When I didn't shave every day, I prefer blades, now shaving every day, I vote electric.I bought a very nice one and tried it out for a few months. My beard just doesn't work well with them. The hair is very thick and grows in multiple directions. I have to grind away at it with an electric, or just use one swipe with a blade. Hell, I even use the el-cheapo blades with less irritation. I can get a year's supply of blades at Sam's Club for $20.

As long as it looks like I kinda shaved when I show up in the AM, that's all that matters. But yes, a blade gives a much better/nicer shave.

Yeah, I gotta go all crazy directions too, but I dislike the cheapo blades, so it works.

I'm an only electric guy. I've probably used a razor 15 times maybe. So much easier and faster with electric. I've been using a cheap Remington 3 circle wheels for 7 years now; never have changed the blades out.
