Electric shavers

[timosyy]

I'm lazy. I know some of you are too. What do you use/recommend?

 

[I Saw OJ]

Had one of those Braun self cleaning jobs. It was about 100 bucks and did a pretty good job, not as close as a regular razor but pretty good. Had it until there was a power outage in the middle of a cleaning cycle and the blade part got completely ruined.

$40 Phillips Norelco I got from Target. I've been happy with it so far.

Some Braun one. I usually forget to shave for too long, and then the razor can't pick up the longer hairs that sit flat on my neck, so I have to shave that with my Mach 3. If I keep up with my shaving and do it frequently enough it works good. Oh, and you don't smell like shaving cream after so you can do it anytime.

It seemed to take more effort to use my electric than a Mach III or any other disposable razor. I had to do so many passes over my face to get a close shave with an electric, while a regular razor just takes a single pass.

Shaving in the shower with just water (no shaving cream) seems pretty easy to me.

Braun Synchro 9000 series self-cleaning foil shaver

It's *far* better than any rotary electric shaver. My face actually feels smooth, rather than cut up.

 

[timosyy]

Hm... my old one was a rotary, maybe I should give foil shavers a try.

Just look how much fun this guy is having

I must be doing something wrong because I don't have nearly that much fun shaving

I have a braun 5000 serries. It goes well except I find it sucks for the neck. I want to find a better one some day.

I used to shave with a regular razor but every morning I'd just get frustrated at how tedious and long it was. While it does a better job, I find it's not worth the time and effort. I can shave in 5 minutes with an electric vs 30 minutes with manual. (by the time you put the shaving cream etc...)
