Blade, or electric....
What do you guys use to scrape the stubble off your faces?
I use good ol' Barbasol and Gillette good news razors.
Been thinking about getting one of those fancy Braun electrics that self clean for 15 minutes after your done.
Anybody got one? Good shave?

It depends on how long since I shaved last, electric everyday or even after a few, but blade if its been awhile. Sometimes if I want to scare small children(and some adults) I stop shaving for awhile leave my hair loose and it makes people stay away. Ever since the Army made me retire I don't feel any great need to shave or cut my hair. Whats weird is I've gone to job interviews unshaved and they still hire me. My wife keeps threatening to take me for a haircut and I've agreed but she always finds something better to do.

I use Barbosol and a plain ol' double sided razor. Noticed that the older I got, the more like my grandpa I became, and the tougher the stubble got. To the point where the electric hurts to use 'cause it pulls. Now I use the electric just to trim the sideburns and the moustache once in while if I can't get the wife to trim me with a pair scissors.

I can't answer since I use both. I have sensitive skin so I can't use a razor more than a couple times a week and if I feel I need to shave in between, I use the electric.

I still use a Gillette sensor excel and shaving cream, twice both with and against the grain. Electrics won't even touch the steel wool that grows on me. It seems to get worse with age.
