The coolest part of using an electric razor?

[Deja Q]

Well?

[SacredCow]

1. As far as I'm concerned, there is no cool part....

I gave up on them ages ago.

They just don't shave close enough for my taste. I can get by shaving every other day with one of those new-fangled 4-blade Gillettes, and I've never nicked myself with them.

6. I end up nicking myself every day...

:(

Sensitive skin, especially 1/2" above the incision site where they filleted me for the neck surgery...

[SacredCow]

10. I got a lot of nicks and burns with the cheap disposables...

Those cheap-ass BIC razors? I might as well be using a cheese grater.

Someone turned me on to the (expen$ive) 4 blade razors, and it is like night and day.

2. Electric razors are the devil! My beard hairs are so thick, they don't even fit in the holes!

Only wimpy beards with wispy, fine, girly hair need apply!

(I'm not kidding about my beard hair size. Some hairs are so big, I can peel them like string cheese! That's manly beard hair!)

3. having to shave with a real razor when you're done with the electric.

that's real cool.

4. It is faster than razor shaving the legs

and I do not end up in a pool of blood.

13. thanks.... I was looking at some of the ones for women

wondering if they were worth it....

[KitchenWitch]

14. You do not get as close a shave but...

You never end up with the razor trailing a long strip of skin either.

5. It's so much goddamn simpler, that's what.

I was never all that hip on shaving anyway, so I really don't care about polishing my face to a smooth sheen like a blade would. From a distance it looks like shaved, I can still pass a fit test for wearing a respirator, and it takes one-fifth the time and about one-tenth the production and mess.

The electric wins.

7. Makes a daily chore swift

I tried a regular razor a couple times. Luckily, my nose grew back. With an electric, a quick buzz and I'm done. I even have a gyroscopic hand powered (pull a cord) razor for extended bike/camping trips.

Though after trekking Nepal, I came down out of the mountains with a beard. So I went to a cut throat barber who gave me the best shave ever.

8. I like how the circular blades on a Philishave rip large chunks out my face

Seriously I prefer a wet shave & safety razor with a fresh blade.

Electric foil ones can't shave me as close as that and the multi blades are unrecycle-able.

9. I can even use mine in the shower and it buzzes

:hi: Why do you like yours?

[madinmaryland]

11. I replace my mach 3 blades once a year!!!

Shaves just fine! Lot cheaper than buying an electric every couple of years when they crap out!!!

[Deja Q]

16. OUCH!!!

I've to replace the blades at least once a week, and by Thursday things really get rough. :hurts:

12. I love remembering my grandfather instructing my father on how to

clean his electric razor! My Dad instructs my 50 year old brothers these days on such chores.

[dysfunctional press]

15. electric razors suck.

blades RULE.

and if you have to change them every other day- you're doing something wrong.

[LeftyMom]

17. It might just mean the person has coarse hair, sensitive skin or both.

That's my issue. It gets expensive.

[Deja Q]

18. True. People with sensitive skin and coarse hair just can't do anything right.
