    I hate shaving!

    I use a Remington Triple blade. I can't remember the model, but I used to work for Spectrum Brands and got it for free. It retailed for just over $120 or so.

    Yes, really. When I bought mine, they had the ES8075/76/77s, etc. I have the ES8075s. It gets VERY close and because of the 13,000rpm heads, you don't get any bumps.

    • Shave wet or dry - Panasonic technology allows the shaver to be fully immersible in water for a great shave in or out of the shower. You can shave wet with lather or dry for a quick trim

    I ordered one online after reading this thread, it should be coming in tomorrow I hope it goes good

    I bought http://dealspl.us/Panasonic-ES8167A-...g-System_11146 << that one...

    good deal too

    its the 13k model, not sure of the other specs though but its rated pretty good... This is my first electronic real electronic shaver, before whenever I was too lazy to do a real shave, i just use my andis T-edger(used for lining up) which cut kinda close but no where near as close as a real blade shave.

    Bought it when it first came out. Works very well if you use it every day.
    I still use a real razor to finish the job and to clean edges.

    philips norelco cool skin 8020x... one of the ones that pumps lotion....

    had the older one when i was younger that let out some lotion... but i always got razor burn...

    bought this one the other day.. in hopes that it would work better.. and it does!!! very pleased with it... no razor burn at all... (if i use a real razor my neck breaks out worse than anything ever...)

    and i have a philips norelco trimmer too (pretty sure it is....) that has a "vacuum" on it as well.. so less mess when trimming...

    i cannot use electric shavers at all, my beard is too thick and grows too fast.

    I use one of these to get the hair off when I have a lot of stubble. The slide on guard keeps the blade from cutting you but you but it doesn't cut close. But it will get you to the point where you can use a regular razor after a week or two of beard growth.

    Here is the style of razor I use every day:



    It cuts close as hell, but if you have any bumps on your face it will cut them right off. I put a hot towel over my beard for a few minutes to open my pores and I also make sure my face is wet before applying the foam and I leave the foam on for 2-3 minutes. That helps a lot, even when shaving with a regular razor.

    I have to shave every other day. If I go for a week without shaving I will have a full beard.

    Of an electric razor or one of the styles I posted above?

    Electric shavers are nothing to fear. The biggest thing about them is it takes a while for you beard to get used to them. But even then its just a minor irritation, no worse than putting on aftershave after using a blade razor. You really can't cut yourself with an electric, even if you don't know what you are doing. They are completely harmless

    The safety razor (bottom pic) isn't that much different to use than a regular razor.The "I'm gonna cut you sucka" razor, on the other hand... very dangerous , which is why I don't try to get close with it or use it without the guard.

    And the blades last just about the same. One double edge (meaning front and back) blade lasts me about 5 shaves. And thats how long blades lasted in my Mach 3.
