I switched from a Remington R 860 to Mach 3 and haven't looked back, even though it takes me longer. The Remington isn't absent from my life, though. It's my doorstop! No, seriously, it IS my doorstop.

I use electric, manual is just too irritating and takes more time than I wanna spend in front of a mirror.

I've been using electric shavers since my first time of shaving. I simply hate manual shavers.

I think I have a Braun. It was only 50 bucks and been lasting for almost 10 years.

Norelco 7825XL... but you should use Williams L-electric Shave (pre-shave)... it helps...

use the Menthol if you can find it...

I made the switch to an electric razor this past Christmas. My girlfriend gave me that new Braun 7680 and it works well. I still find that the Mach 3 gets closer but it is definitely more convenient to have the electric. For some reason my skin feels softer after using the electric. Also, since it cleans and lubricates itself automatically, there's pretty much no maintenance. Looks pretty nice in the restroom too.

Yes - the Braun Synchro series. They have a few diffent models and I have the mid-range one. It's a lot better than any other electric I've ever used. I only run the clean cycle every 2-3 days and I can feel a huge difference after doing that.

FWIW, I tried to go back to a manual shaver a few years ago and it turned my neck into a bloody mess. I am pretty much stuck with an electric for the rest of my life.

Braun Synchro is the way to go for an electric. The self-cleaning unit makes all the difference.

Still not as close as a blade, so I use a Mach III every so often.

well, for swimming finals, i had to shave most everything. a blade definitely cut deeper and shaved cleaner, but electric was easier to use but took longer to cut the same. . If I had to choose, I'd still choose electric for my face. For my legs and arms, I'd have to go with a blade. But hey, I only do that once a year
