    Electric shavers - are they as good as manual ones?

    Ive never used an electric shaver.. but im considering buying one
    can you get as good a shave with a decent electric shaver compared to a manual one?
    id love to save me 5 mins every morning when im in a rush to get to class by using an electric one

    what do you think? can you recommend a particular electric shaver?

      From what I haev heard you have to "train" your skin to get good results. This means using them for a couple months then you start to get the good results.

              Personally I think they are better then normal shavers.

                  ive never had much luck with electric razors, but if its true that u have to train your skin, then thats why, because everyone I used was like 3 uses and id go back to a regular razor.

                      You train your skin to be less sensitive to the razor. It hurts less with every use. I've used an electric razor all my life, but my beard isn't very thick. I've only lathered up and used a manual razor 3 times in my life. There was bloodshed

                              That's all I have used for the last 13 years. I think my skin is trained.

                                      With the price of razors, this will pay for itself in no time ... think I'll look into it.

                                          I use an electric now after using a blade all my life. It took a couple weeks to get used to it, but I love it now. The only difference I've noticed is that I have to shave more often, but with the electric it only takes like 2min to do a quick job so it's cool.

                                          This is the one I have: http://www.shop.com/op/aprod-p219168...ver?sourceid=3

                                                          That's what I do. I do not like electric razors, they don't seem to cut nearly as close as a mach3 or similar. I do have an electric trimmer so I just trim the beard but never shave it all off. So much easier because I hate shaving and my facial hair doesn't grow very fast.

                                                              ive been using the Gilette Mach razors for many years and i really enjoy the close shave i get, i tend to shave my face hair against the grain which is what gives me the close shave...

                                                              So if i was to buy a really nice electric shaver i can get as close a shave as i can with a hand razor?

I found they missed or would not cut a lot of areas, especially along the neck area. I always had to use a manual razor to clean up what was missed by the electric, so I said fuck it and only use manual razors now.

                                                                                  However, electric razors are very convenient for traveling or for a quickie if your in a rush or if you just want to tidy up.

I tried it and it took freaking twice as long the first time to shave, it made my skin red as hell, left big patches of hair I couldn't even get too it was complete shit.

                                                                                                                                  I tried it a couple more times and same results. Give me a razer sharp march 3 anyday, those new vibrating march 3's are kickass too. I should know I have to shave entire head every 2 days and those vibrating ones really work wonders.

At least now I know Im destined to stay with a normal razor for the rest of my natural.
