Any guys shave with an electric razor? If so, which one? I shave with a normal manual razor, but I'm finding that it's causing too much irritation on my skin (especially around neck), and I heard electric is better for sensitive skin.. Any good models to reccommend?

I've had the exact opposite problem. My electric razor irritates the crap out of my neck. I've tried the Braun and the Norleco. A blade works much better for me.

I used to use normal razor, then switched to electric...both are equally irritating on my neck so I usually use the buzzer dealy on the electric razor.....electric is faster and easier for everything else, and cheaper if you get one of the nicely priced good ones.

yea, electric razors are horrible for neck shaving, also leaving redmarks, for the face it's fine though

Oh, I have a Norelco

I use a Phillishave 6885. Made the switch about 2 years ago from razors for the same reason as you. Seems to be a bit better for sensitive skin but your beard grows faster IMO, probably due to the fact that electric shavers don't shave quite as close.

Still, it's easier to shave more frequently with than razors.

Also, it takes a few weeks for your skin to get used to using an electric shaver.

I use a Norelco electric razor. I used to use a regular blade, but I love the electric razors because it's much easier and much easier to clean. Also of course less irritation.
