Fezmid Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 I'm thinking about buying an electric shaver but was wondering what other people thought of them. I've been using the Gilette Mach3 for years and like it, but the electric sounds cool to save money on blades/gel, as well as the fact that it's supposed to be a bit quicker.

Nervous Guy Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 blade...tried an electric years ago and just thought it was more irritating and didn't shave as close... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LewPort71 Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 Try the new Fusion razor.. Electric is OK, but you have to replace the cutters on an annual basis. I'd stick with the blade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've tried the $20 models and the $100 models. I just gave up and stuck with the blade. (I'm that way with contacts, too - just gave up and stuck with the glasses) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duey Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 Electric just doesn't cut it. Gillette Fusion Power is the way to go!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hammered a Lot Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 Try the new Fusion razor.. Electric is OK, but you have to replace the cutters on an annual basis. I'd stick with the blade Blades all the way. I have managed to rack together a 2 bladed Sensor with a 3 bladed Mach3 with a 5 bladed Fusion for one smooth shave.

Worth the money and is as close as a razor shave! You WONT regret it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
/dev/null Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 Both actually. Mostly use blade (cheap disposable blades). But if I go a couple days without shaving I'll make a pass or two with an electric to get most of the hair, then switch over to blade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JinVA Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 Yes..the Braun 360 is THE best!! I will never use a razor again! Worth the money and is as close as a razor shave! You WONT regret it! Agreed! I just got one for christmas and works very well, also comes with a battery operated one that I keep in my desk drawer here at work. I have yet to try the cleaner thingy yet though.

The Jokeman Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 I use both as well. I use the electric to trim my goatee but use the cheap disposable to actually shave. As every electric I've tried just doesn't get the job done at skin level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RayFinkle Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 Try the new Fusion razor.. Electric is OK, but you have to replace the cutters on an annual basis. I'd stick with the blade FUSION! They sent me a free one in the mail about a year ago, I've never used anything else since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 Blade. Never found an electric shaver that I like. Nothing like a fresh shave with a new razor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokinandjokin Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 Never found an electric that was close enough for the full-time morning shave. Like someone else mentioned, I do have the battery powered electric in the desk drawer at work, in case I need to be proper for a late meeting or business dinner or a nice event out with the lady friend.

The Tomcat Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 I use a Braun as well for my daily shaving....If I'm going out or to a wedding or something I like to use a blade (Mach 3) A lot of times I use my electric shaver and have to use a blade to get a few hairs it just doen't get. It just so conveniant to use an electric. Blades make do more work and I'm lazy by nature. Have you considerd waxing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agilen Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 I use electric. I kinda have a baby face, so my "5 o'clock shadow" is more like 5 the next morning. But, I think most people try electric and don't like it, so they give up right away. You _need_ to use the electric every day for at least a month for your face to get used to it. Once you do, then you'll be happy, and its way less messy. I use this stuff after shaving: http://www.neutrogena.com/men/MenDetails_1...roductLineID=10 Give it a shot.

Ramius Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 far and away the blade. i've had my mach 3 for years and love it. The electric just doesnt get the job done. doesnt get close enough and it can be irritating. As someone said above, i've tried both the $20 electric and the 100+ electric, and found not much difference. I'll stick with the blade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuckincincy Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 I've a cheap electric with a trimmer for back of neck and evening sideburns. Otherwise, blade. Currently using a pink-handled "Lady" Schick Quattro... I bought 2 of those Christmas gift-packs, because at ten bucks for the handle and six quattro cartridges it was only a dollar more than a four-pack of quattro blades. It also included a wood foot massage roller and a manicure kit, which I put into the Goodwill bag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
