Who here uses electric razers/shavers, I do and they work better for me than blades. I got mad about the little cuts and bought an electric (and three more since then). They work better for me than blade shavers. Plus not as messy!

Also, I like" Lectric Shave" I think it helps and has that classic older man smell.

I tried, but my shaving cream kept clogging it up.

I kid, I kid.

Truthfully, I did try years ago and found that I get a closer shave, and can shave quicker with a Mach 3 razor.

I prefer to use bladed razors about twice a week for a really close shave. Then in between I use electric for speed and ease.

Maybe they've improved since in the last 30 years since the last time I tried on but I hated them back then. Shaving with a blade is not messy for me because I just went out and bought an anti-fog mirror and shave in the shower. (right after I pee)

I rarely touch a blade to my face anymore. Just trim it with an electric trimmer when it needs it. I don't care how close to the skin it gets. Usually I do both my head and face at the same time. Haven't been to a barber in probably 15 years.

Been using blades for quite some time. Maybe some of these new electric razors shave closer than they used to.

Have shaved with an electric since 7th grade. I've had a beard constantly minus 8 years in the army and when we were deployed I'd grow one as long as I could till I was told to clean the **** off my face. In basic I got grilled for cutting the **** outta my neck with razor's constantly.

I have an older Norelco and it's ok for reducing stubble down before using a disposable blade. But I have those hairs on a place on my chin and those on my upper lip right under my nose that it won't quite reach. On top of that I went out and bought Norelco replacement blades and they have never been as sharp as the original factory. You have to go over the same spot constantly. Maybe I just need a better electric shaver? But yeah, the only way I get a good shave is with a disposable blade.
