Usually I'm beared, now, however I've got a new job that requires me to be clean shaven and I'm sick of using a blade razor everyday. Anyone have any suggestions for a nice electric razor? I do have relatively sensitive skin (ie a bit of razor burn here and there due to the blade). Thanks!

Philips Norelco Spectra 8825XL (or something).

my dad's had one for a while, and loves it- and he just bought me one, and i love it. its still not quite as close as a blade, but it's really, really good. and comfortable.

Consumer Reports did them a while ago. If I remember correctly, they said while some testers had personal preferences, the overall results were basically the same for all electric razors. Neither brand nor type had any significant effect.

For me personally, and everyone who's heeded my advice, the panasonic linear wet/drys have been preferred over the other electrics.

Doesn't really have a name, aside from letters and numbers thrown together, but go to the panasonic site, and electric razors and get one of the ones that have the heads that move.

I don't understand why you have to be clean shaven every day. Does somebody sit on your face? :Q

So that, at all times if needed, a n95 HEPA respirator will fit snugly with no air leakage upon my face.

Oh, I had a job like that working in a power plant where we did a lot of asbestos abatement. We used positive pressure respirators, what do you use?
