    Thanks for the tips, everyone, and good to see you here, Bryce

    I wonder if, now that I'm smoothly shaved, if I do this again tomorrow, before there's any serious regrowth, I'll be able to pull it off smoothly...

    : Try this...shave normally with your DE of
    : choice, and leave the problem areas alone.
    : Use your electric for touch-up in these
    : areas. Works great for me...I love my four
    : pass DE shave, but there are areas I just
    : can't get clean without pressure and tricky
    : maneuvering. The electric does great for
    : that.

    : I have the Braun mentioned as well (the 8995
    : or whatever - the one with the cleaning
    : base). It does a respectable job with a
    : daily shave, and has a few adjustable
    : aspects - fixed or pivoting head, sideburn
    : trimmer, etc. The cleaning/charging base is
    : neat, but it takes $10 cleaning carts that
    : last about a month or two depending on how
    : often you clean the head.

    : You'll find that the differences with most
    : models of foil cutters tend to be in the
    : foil itself. The Braun I use has openings
    : in the foil shaped like little octagons.
    : Each edge is pretty much like a blade
    : surface, and the block cuts the hair by
    : scissoring it off against these surfaces.
    : What this means is that it can cut in almost
    : any direction smoothly. The block also
    : floats, so you can press harder against your
    : face, getting a closer shave.
