Shaving- razor or electric?

I have a Mach 3, and i must say, it does a very good job, and one cartrige lasts 3 or 4 months. I have used electric razors, and couldnt stand them.

Shaving- razor or electric?

i used to use the "disposable" razors and hated the mess and the time it took..... ah heck..lets face it I hate shaving period...I go as long as I can before each shave.... when I get a little too wooly...then I take out the electric clippers I got and go to town. I used to use just a regular electric razor and hated it. got a cheap ($20) pair of electric clippers at Walmart and now I can trim the gotee to just the right lenght, get a close shave... and if need be cut the hair too!

Shaving- razor or electric?

i sorta had to learn the "guy" things in life on my own. no one ever told me to use shaving cream with a electric shaver... i didnt even think a person could. i use to get very very slight skin irritation from it, but now i sort of whip up shaving creme with a slight amount of water to thin it out a little, now its all nice and smooth, no irritation

i use the mach 3 and love it, also used an electric and it was ok, i could go long between shaves but it seemed to take longer to shave and irritated my skin. i don't think you can use shaving cream with all electric razors, only ones made for that.

Electric.. it's quick and easy.. gives me a few minutes extra of sleep in the morning vs. non-electric. It's a beat up old, dull electric razor, but it does the trick.

yeah and I usually have a hard time waking up, but I think that would do the trick for sure!

I usually shave the night before...so that if my skin does get irritated it will be gone before the next morning ...but I guess it's problaby because I have such a hard time getting up anyway!

I have used both and hate the electric, never seemed to get very close without biting.
I use the Mach 3 (regular) with Edge Clean shave gel.

I have a Mach 3 but I don't use it on a daily basis.
I use a electric razor when I need to shave most of the time
Trim it up, enough for work.
When I clean up and go places, I use the Mach 3
The Electric I have cuts really close and doesnt leave stubble
It's a Remington
I hate disposables, but I will use them
