Guys - do you use an electric shaver?

Question

Rather than a razor? Why? Is this a totally lame Christmas gift? It would be 1 of a few.

Answer 1

Electric shavers tend to be for people who really don't need to shave very much or have very soft beards. I find them to be worthless. I'd much rather have some good after shave or cologne.

Answer 2

I use electric shaver(s) myself.

Although the old school hand razor with a blade is apparently better for sensitive skin such as mine, I don't like the idea of a blade so close to my skin...

I use a beard clipper to trim everything, and the electric shaver to clean the final product into a semi-hairless smooth skinned finale.

Cheers!

Answer 3

It depends on the beard. Most electric shavers are not nearly as efficient as the grandiose advertising the manufacturers pay for. I have used one for years and resort to the blade at least once weekly to get rid of the areas the electrics cannot handle. If you have a very light beard then the electrics are probably fine for every day.

Answer 4

In my experience electric razors don't get the job done. Sorry.

Answer 5

my ex used a straight edge blade and he was sooo smooth and it lasted for like two weeks - no five oclock shadow - no missed spots.

just think about it as a woman
I use my electric razor on my legs when feeling lazy and it never feels as smooth as when I shave with my reg gillete razor

hope this helps some

Answer 6

I do during the week for a quick shave. Nothing but a blade on the weekends or if going to a affair.

Answer 7

I use both. A razor for my face and an electric for my armpits and groin.

Answer 8

I use a Norelco Triple Header (electric) - I shave my head and everywhere on my face except my goatee.

Answer 9

Rasor is better than the electric one. Feeling smooth with the rasor but feeling rough with electric one.

Answer 10

Not me

An electric just doesn't shave as close as a blade
