I've tried all kinds of electric jobs. Nothing better then this though.

Actually the best shave you can get would be an old fashioned razor with some real shaving cream. Not the shit that pouts out of a box, but the stuff found in canisters.

9/18/2006 9:19:47 PM

electric shavers I use to trim up downstairs, straight razor for the face

9/19/2006 2:48:34 PM

i use the norelco electric razor and the Gillette fusion

9/19/2006 2:58:45 PM

Haven't shaved in 1 month.

9/21/2006 12:12:40 AM

I use a single blade disposable razor...if I could get a good safety razor (uses double edge razor blades), that's what I would have.

And I use Colgate shaving soap (in the round cake).

i got a mach 3, but i agree with this

Yeah, electric's good--FOR ME TO POOP ON! Fuck electric razors! Let's grind'em all up and make electric cars out of 'em. Hell, the hippies don't shave anyway--they'll love the idea!

9/21/2006 2:55:59 AM

9/21/2006 9:49:53 AM

I guess I'm one of the few guys who actually likes my electric

9/21/2006 10:01:43 AM

"Fuck Everything, We're Doing Five Blades By James M. Kilts CEO and President, The Gillette Company February 18, 2004 | Issue 40•07 Would someone tell me how this happened? We were the fucking vanguard of shaving in this country. The Gillette Mach3 was the razor to own. Then the other guy came out with a three-blade razor. Were we scared? Hell, no. Because we hit back with a little thing called the Mach3Turbo. That's three blades and an aloe strip. For moisture. But you know what happened next? Shut up, I'm telling you what happened—the bastards went to four blades. Now we're standing around with our cocks in our hands, selling three blades and a strip. Moisture or no, suddenly we're the chumps. Well, fuck it. We're going to five blades. Sure, we could go to four blades next, like the competition. That seems like the logical thing to do. After all, three worked out pretty well, and four is the next number after three. So let's play it safe. Let's make a thicker aloe strip and call it the Mach3SuperTurbo. Why innovate when we can follow? Oh, I know why: Because we're a business, that's why! You think it's crazy? It is crazy. But I don't give a shit. From now on, we're the ones who have the edge in the multi-blade game. Are they the best a man can get? Fuck, no. Gillette is the best a man can get. What part of this don't you understand? If two blades is good, and three blades is better, obviously five blades would make us the best fucking razor that ever existed. Comprende? We didn't claw our way to the top of the razor game by clinging to the two-blade industry standard. We got here by taking chances. Well, five blades is the biggest chance of all. Here's the report from Engineering. Someone put it in the bathroom: I want to wipe my ass with it. They don't tell me what to invent—I tell them. And I'm telling them to stick two more blades in there. I don't care how. Make the blades so thin they're invisible. Put some on the handle. I don't care if they have to cram the fifth blade in perpendicular to the other four, just do it! You're taking the "safety" part of "safety razor" too literally, grandma. Cut the strings and soar. Let's hit it. Let's roll. This is our chance to make razor history. Let's dream big. All you have to do is say that five blades can happen, and it will happen. If you aren't on board, then fuck you. And if you're on the board, then fuck you and your father. Hey, if I'm the only one who'll take risks, I'm sure as hell happy to hog all the glory when the five-blade razor becomes the shaving tool for the U.S. of "this is how we shave now" A. People said we couldn't go to three. It'll cost a fortune to manufacture, they said. Well, we did it. Now some egghead in a lab is screaming "Five's crazy?" Well, perhaps he'd be more comfortable in the labs at Norelco, working on fucking electrics. Rotary blades, my white ass! Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe we should just ride in Bic's wake and make pens. Ha! Not on your fucking life! The day I shadow a penny-ante outfit like Bic is the day I leave the razor game for good, and that won't happen until the day I die! The market? Listen, we make the market. All we have to do is put her out there with a little jingle. It's as easy as, "Hey, shaving with anything less than five blades is like scraping your beard off with a dull hatchet." Or "You'll be so smooth, I could snort lines off of your chin." Try "Your neck is going to be so friggin' soft, someone's gonna walk up and tie a goddamn Cub Scout kerchief under it." I know what you're thinking now: What'll people say? Mew mew mew. Oh, no, what will people say?! Grow the fuck up. When you're on top, people talk. That's the price you pay for being on top. Which Gillette is, always has been, and forever shall be, Amen, five blades, sweet Jesus in heaven. Stop. I just had a stroke of genius. Are you ready? Open your mouth, baby birds, cause Mama's about to drop you one sweet, fat nightcrawler. Here she comes: Put another aloe strip on that fucker, too. That's right. Five blades, two strips, and make the second one lather. You heard me—the second strip lathers. It's a whole new way to think about shaving. Don't question it. Don't say a word. Just key the music, and call the chorus girls, because we're on the edge—the razor's edge—and I feel like dancing."

Electric razors suck ass. I bought one and with my beard being so tough, it tore the hell out of the screen and out of my face. I will never buy one again. Mach 3 is the way for me.

9/21/2006 2:13:53 PM

^^ in addition to The Onion "predicting" the 5 blade razor (the Fusion introduced in Sept 05, The Onion editorial was from Feb 04), Mad Magazine foresaw the M3Power and the multi-bladed razor back in 1979
http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/12.03/play.html?pg=4

and back in 1975 on the very first episode of Saturday Night Live, they had a spoof commercial for the "Triple-Trac", a 3-bladed razor "designed for people who'll believe anything they see."

(that being said, I love my Mach3 too)

i use a beard trimmer and it is electric if that helps

9/21/2006 8:37:49 PM

i use my electric norelco on a daily basis for convenience and efficiency.

i use my fusion for days when I need a close & neat trim.

9/21/2006 9:16:53 PM

I never use electric shavers, I always used gillette. Currently on mach3

Use hot water, a good shaving soap, badger brush and a safety razor and you will never go back. Three, four and Five (and seventeen) blades are for suckers. Double edge blades for old school safety razors are like 2.49 for 20 new edges.

"Does anyone else not bother with shaving cream?"

Not all the time.

Just out of the shower, I will leave some Dove soap on my face. I found that Dove works VERY well for protection/cleanliness purposes. It was even best for me back in '02-'03 when I was sportin' the bald look, just make a good lather 2 or 3 times, apply to crown, start shaving. I would finish in minutes

[Edited on September 24, 2006 at 12:38 AM. Reason : I currently use a Schick Quatro Titanium, best razor I've ever used.]

9/24/2006 12:37:53 AM

so in comparison, braun complete 360 and phillips norelco smart touch xl, which are the best ones produced by each company, which one is better, anyone had any experience with either?

btw, from the manufacturer, braun is $220, norelco is $250. both come with cleaner and charger blah blah blah

edit: on ebay each is about $100 cheaper

ehe i usually use one of those $15 conair razers designed for cutting hair. i use it without an attachment as close as it gets. its not really the stubble look im after, its just really fast and i'm that lazy (i only bother about once a week too).

9/25/2006 6:27:01 AM

^^ My family has always used Braun without any complaints. My dad has the Activator, and it does a really nice job, but it's not that much nicer than the model I use, which is somewhere around 6-7 years old but resembles the current SynchroPro (pivoting head, "three stage" shaving, etc.).
