Has anyone successfully switched from Razor Blades to Electric Shavers?

Pros/Cons?

I was at the store, damn, razors are fucking expensive. Like 2-3 bucks EACH.

 

anyone use safety razors?

 

I use the Philips Norelco 7310XL



I'm pretty sure it's the cheapest one they make. It works fine though, just have to go over the same places a few times. I'm sure the more expensive ones are even better.

 

I never felt that electrics would get as close as razors. They're waaaay easier though.

 

I feel no stubble or anything after I use mine. Smooth as can be.

 

I always feel if I shave with electrics I'll get razor bump. Plus I like the feel of shaving, personally.

Was at the store, 5 refill blades are like 15 bucks now. wtf.

 

Gillette Good News disposables.

 

Cheap disposable razors [Gillette Mach 3 from Costco are the best for high quality disposables].

I also use 100% all natural aloe vera as shave gel...you can usually buy the all clear, non alcohol, non fragerance, 100% aloe in bulk for cheap as well!

 

I recently switched to one of these. The head on the less expensive one is the same as the pricey models that have more features.
I've tried electrics before unsuccessfully as I have a thick beard and don't like the pulling and have had difficulty getting a close enough shave.
I'm well satisfied with the switch and enjoy not having to buy blades and fuck around with that shit anymore.
The quality of the shave is much better than the ones I've used in the past...damned near what I get with a blade.
Plus, its easy to touch up in the evening if I'm going out.

 

I used to attach a 2-foot extension to my Bic, so I could reach my backbone. But now I just use white dye on the center hairs of my back, to achieve that skunk look.

 

I use both. I use that norelco mentioned above for touchup on my neck and face and a mach 3 for my head and face.

 

I just got 20 mach 3 turbos for $40 at costco.

 

I switched to electric shavers for a while - but got tired of them and went back to the latest Gillette model (whatever it is called now, the metallic orange/blue box).

 

That's what I'm using now.

 

Yep, never fall for those expensive shavers.

I hate shaving and could never make the switch to electic. Now I use the electric to get most of it and then finish with the cheapos.

 

Blades are expensive... but I tried Gillette Fusion... and I have been using the same blade for like a YEAR. Things must be titanium or something. The lubricating strip or whatever pealed off... but man the blade just keeps going and going.

 

I've actually gone backward. When I was a teenager, I shaved my peach fuzz with an electric razor. In college, I moved to regular razors. A couple of years ago, my wife got me a shaving kit with a badger hair brush and a straight razor. I cut myself a few times, but I've never had a closer shave...and it's great on getting those pesky scrotum hairs.

 

My back-shaving skunk joke won by a mile.
