In my opinion electris are the worst thing man ever invented to shave with.
--Previous Message-- : 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. : : : : --Previous Message-- : 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. : : --Previous Message-- : 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? : : : : : : : : : : : :
