Switched from a Mach3 to a Norelco SpeedXL

[aphex]

My first time trying an electric razor in 3 years...

Somehow i dont remember it being this painful before.... The Norelco SpeedXL seems to be forcefully ripping the hair from my face in some parts...

Seems to get quite a bit closer than the Braun Syncho i tried in the past, but GOD, this is painful....

Why the switch?

Ouch...sounds like one of those Epilady shaver things.

I've never found an electric razor that I liked...not that I've honestly actively tried to find one.

No offense (You're one of the few people I actually LIKE here) but electric shavers are for lazy guys that can't be bothered with that whole "hot water, shaving cream and effort" thing.

Return to the Old School. We have a seat for you, and you'll be much more presentable looking.

I guess i should explain my reasoning for the switch...

Dermotologist noticed my neck was getting cut up a bit from my Mach3 so suggested i try electric....

So you have razor burn? Bad bumps and such? Have you tried; either a diff shaving cream (I have found that Colgate Aloe is awesome for me) and/or not pressing so hard w/the razor when shaving?

I thought you were supposed to wait 3 weeks before switching from razor to electric.

I only have an electric for the beard clipper for when I get lazy for a week.

itll take your face like a week to get used to the electric again, and it pulls more the longer you let it grow

and the Panasonic Linear > *.electric razor

accoreding ot manual, shave with the norelco for 3 weeks exclusively and it'll stop hurting. it still hurts for me, but mainly because my beard takes so long ot grow, i really ony shave once a week.
