What electric shaver do you use?

Yea I know, it's a heck of a weird topic...
But I need a new one and not very happy with the one I have been using. I can't use a straight razor, my face doesen't seem to like it at all. I can't decide which electric razor I would like to try, so before I go spend the money, I figured I would ask for some personal opinions.

Sorry about the weird topic, just thought I would ask!

Thanks,
Eric

Remington R1000 with automatic cleaning base station. It's worth the money, trust me. The self-cleaning is great... i'm surprised by how much is picked up by the filter. The cleaning solution is also a lubricant and makes the blades last much longer.

I use the one I found in the dumpster. No kidding! My face don't like a straight razor either and I also didn't want to spend the money they get for an electric. The one I got is a Norelco 725RL. I think it's pretty old, but I can still get blades for it. And my face doesn't get all red and blotchy after I use it like it did with the straight razor.

Electric shavers tear my face up. I'd rather use my Mach 3 anyday over an electric one. If I could find an electric razor that didn't have that 2 week break in period I'd buy it.

I'm thinkin' that rock would hafta just be rough, not sharp. He could use it like sandpaper until all the hair is gone and not do any visible damage to his face. I think he'd hurt himself with a sharp rock tho.



Poor Hoss.

They made go from a straight razor to electric ( I use Remington) in rehab. They say it takes about 2 weeks for your face to accomidate the switch.
