Court judge says it actually doesn't :D

But they are mighty fine blades in any case.

Manual shaver ... so much better. Haven't cut myself in about 5 years too, so I think I'll stick with it. Mach 3 original.

I use Norelco Reflex Action for about 6 years now. Worked like a charm: just replace blades every year or so.
Right now the battery is almost dead, so I have to plug it in every time I shave, but it's a minor inconvenience.

I'd love to get their latest and greatest, but it's kind of expensive.

I don't find electric to be any faster since they do such a crap job of cutting facial hair (but such a great job of wrecking razor-burn havoc on my face). I guess my facial hair is just too pissed.

I have about as heavy a beard as it gets, and electric shavers are a joke. If they don't make my face look like a grinder was used on it, they feel like each hair is being pulled out of my face one at a time, very quickly. I gave up on electrics for the most part by the age of 15 or so. I started shaving at 12, LOL. My dad was going through razor blades at an astounding rate and he couldn't figure out how they got so dull so fast. At 13, my beard made his look like a normal 13 year old's. I went to school one time after not shaving for a week while I was sick once and the teacher looks at me, and reaches out and touches my face and jumps like she got stung. She asks me, "How old are you?" "13!"

She called my house up and my dad answered the phone and all I heard him say is, " Don't you have anything better to do than to worry about my kid having hair on his face?" She tried to say my beard was "disruptive" because of the attention it got! My dad hung up with her, looked at me, and said, "Mrs. XXXXXX is a nut!" I had to shave after that.

Funny thing was, I didn't have much any hair anywhere else until I hit 15.

No water, no cream.
