Electric Razors

• like_that

  

  Anyone use an electric razor? I bought this one a few months ago http://www.amazon.com/Braun-3Series-340S-4-Wet-Shaver/dp/B004UQ6Q62/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1354928101&sr=8-1&keywords=braun+340s-4 (no I didn't pay 80 bucks for it sleeper). Anyway, despite the good reviews, I am very disappointed in its performance.
  
  Anyone have any good recommendations?

  I got this one last Christmas. Phillips Norelco. It's great as long as I don't go more than 2 or 3 days without using it.

  Is it only a wet shave, or can you do a dry shave as well?

  I'm amazed they even exist in 2012.

  Not a fan at all. I use Gillette Fusion or whatever it is. Have had it for years/

  Same here. That razor will fuck my neck up on Monday mornings. Other than that, I love it.

  just as an FYI, be sure to clean the blades regularly and replace...like a brand new razor when you replace the cutter
  
  Also, I tend to find a good electric razor is easier on my neck than a blade

  Can't stand blades. I've used electric for as long as I can remember. Much easier.

  I can't get every part of my neck and not as clean as a razor.

  I go with Phillips mid-range every few years.

  DE safety razor.

  I use both. Dry shave with electric, then follow up with blade.

  Hate electric. Hell I hate shaving period, so I stopped. Just trim it with my hair clippers so I have a permanent 5 o clock shadow.

  I just use a regular razor. My food stamps wont pay for that fancy electic mumbo jumbo.

  Yup but I've just used the same blade for 5 years and sharpen it with rocks.

  This is pretty much what I do. My hair clippers came with a little trimmer and that's what I use on my face.

  Weird. I do the opposite. I can't get my neck clean with a blade (without getting serious razor burn), so I usually follow-up with the electric.

  I'll probably make my way to that eventually. Don't want to spend anymore money getting a razor a strop right now though so the double edge it is.

  Make sure you get one wih the three circle blades and not like the Braun you had. I usually by a mid range one every other year. If you get razor burn by a product called cool face it pretty much eliminates it
