i bought a $125 norelco razor with that stupid "goo" stuff... it gave me razor burn everyday for a month (the manual said that it would clear up after a couple weeks of use, it didnt clear up at all).

So back to Mach 3 i go.

Ka-Bar Original 12" Black Bladed US Marine Corp WWII Issue Knife... A blade I guess it is.

I've used a Norelco for years, but it quit charging a couple of weeks back (replace the batteries I guess?) I've been using a blade since, and I must say that a CLOSE shave is nice :)

Mach 3, and I always shave right after I'm out of the shower - shaving cream not necessary unless it's not right after a shower.

Razor and I dont use shaving cream... for $1.00 I buy a bottle of hair conditioner and use that. It is less than 1/2 the price of shaving cream, and also conditions my legs but it does make me go thru razor blades more quickly.

Blade then electric, I do both since doing one or the other doesn't yield as smooth of a shave

I use a mach3 & cream most mornings, but if I have a big date where I'm aiming for some nookie I get out my straight razor -- flip open, hone it on the strop and go to town. Before I ever shaved myself with that wicked sharp peice of steel I practiced on balloons. I'm good enough that I can put shaving cream on a blown-up balloon and shave it clean without popping it.

Straight edge = best damn shave evar.

yet another Mach3 Turbo over here. greatest razor I've ever used.

I shaved with an electric razor when I was younger (first starting to shave), and I found it to be really painful. and there's something relaxing about the good old blade+shaving cream experience :)
