    In my opinion electris are the worst thing man ever invented to shave with.

    : I have used electrics off and on for over 45
    : years. Never could get a decent shave on my
    : face. Always some stubble and nearly always
    : some irritation.
    :
    : A couple years back when I was still using
    : the Fusion I was shaving my head and managed
    : to put a great big "notch" in the
    : side of my head by not paying attention to
    : what I was doing with that darn razor.
    :
    : As a result I gave an electric a try. And
    : to my surprise it did a great job on my bald
    : head. BBS you would call it or darn near to
    : BBS.
    :
    : Still use it now when I am in a real big
    : hurry or have nicked my head and need to let
    : it heal a bit before going back to my DE or
    : SE razor.
    :
    : But for the face, they are a waste of money
    : in my opinion. If I did not already have
    : one I would not go out and buy one just to
    : shave my head for a few days while my
    : mistakes heal themselves.

    : Personaly I started with electric foil
    : shavers
    : when I hit 13 and stuck with them until I
    : hit thirty and I never got a good shave out
    : of them ever. Electrics are the worst
    : products man ever invented. Foil shavers
    : are still worse then the rottery types are.
    : I sued Remington and braun and several other
    : brands and let me tell you they are all
    : terrible.

    : I'm experimenting with these shavers - hate
    : the rotaries - as I've always found them to
    : be good performers. And here's why:
    :
    : They give me the closest shave without
    : ingrowns.
    :
    : I really don't enjoy shaving with them
    : because it takes forever and is a nuisance,
    : but I get BBS eventually and never an
    : ingrown.
    :
    : My question is this: Is there any
    : significant difference between expensive
    : foil electrics and inexpensive ones - other
    : than flash?
    :
    : I haven't tried an expensive one in ages,
    : but the 10 dollar drugstore variety do a
    : capable job.
    :
    : What do you guys know about this?
    :
    : Secondly is it best to shave on dry, freshly
    : cleansed skin, or slightly lubed skin?
