Electric Shavers or Razors ??

[Johnnytoxic]

I find electric shavers are much better. Cost me around £25 every 4months to swap the metal head cutters. Much cheaper than buying razor heads every couple of weeks.

I also get the nice rugged look I had some irritation at first but I hardly get any now.

Many threads about this in past but have personally just moved back to wet shaving as find electric shaving affects my skin and does'nt really give a good clean close shave compared to razor.

wet shave here, I havn't tried an electric in a while so it's not so much because I prefer it, though I do like the fresh feeling from a wet shave.

I look around 15 without any stubble.

Do you look like a 15 yr old with a marker pen when you do have stubble?

wet shave, I have tried numerous electric ones and none were anything close to acceptable

why are you changing heads on an electric shaver every 4 months ? if properly cleaned they should last ages

 

[Evolve]

Wet shave definitely. As soft and nice as an electric looks it can play hell with your skin.

 

[Mat]

I find a daily wet shave irritates like hell unless I do the very basic 'shave in the direction of the growth' which doesn't give as good a result.

I must have manly skin immune to the aggrivation an electric shaver brings. Those moaning about irritation are just wussies

Can shaving with a razor cause ingrowing hairs if you go against the grain?

I just moved back to wet from electric, electric takes just as long to do properly and is not a close.

Mach3 all the way.

Everything else I've tried is just inferior.

Electric all the way, granted it takes just as long as a wet shave but you have the added bonus of being able to watch the TV at the same time

Wet if I have time, electric otherwise.

Wet is closer, definitely, but the electric does the job if I'm rushed.

Electric for me.

However, it was only when the missus bought me a decent Philishave thingy that I made the switch. I used to have a Panasonic thing but it was a bitt naff. I don't get any irritation with the Philishave one. It really is worth spending the extra cash on a decent shaver.

Saying that, a proper shave using a cut-throat razor beats everything else hands-down.

you wet shave and electric on the odd day, whats your face say to that?

 

[Raymond Lin]

Eletric for conviencence but razor for the closeness.

 

[Zefan]

I only ever wet shave.

 

[gumbald]

Changing the heads every 4 months?! Do you cut your hedge with it too?

i wet shave but ive found my self suffering from really bad in-grown hair on my neck from shaving closely so im wanting to try an electric shaver, it tends to get really painfull and i get spots from the in-grown hair wich isnt very attractive
