Shaving

I was also looking for an electric so I could shave with the blade every other day and give my skin a rest. I would love to just have five o'clock shadow every day but the corporate job doesn't allow.
This thread reminds me of an Onion article from a few years back:

the quattro owned me one time ... I ended up with blood dripping from where my chin used to be. baby-butt smooth though, once you get all the skin off
mach 3 regular does the trick for me.

I believe he does. It seems like he was doing it one time when I was in there last year. But, I couldn't watch. I just have visions of the Dumb and Dumber scene...
I actually use the Gillette Fusion Turbo (yes, 5 blades for me). I was skeptical about the 4 and 5 blades until I tried it. It's actually a really comfortable shave - except for a certain area on either side of my Adam's apple. The hair there is so coarse that it usually takes two or three swipes plus at least one or two against the grain just to get the majority of the hair off of that area - and it's razor burn for the rest of the day...
I use an electric, mostly because I still cut myself after 13 years of shaving. I probably look sloppy as crap but frankly I just don't give a crap anymore.
Also, thanks for the recommendation on the hot towel shaves everybody - I've always wanted to do that like on a morning before a wedding. I've got a buddy getting married in August and I'm a groomsman and I'd love everybody to go get a hot towel shave. It's just something I've always wanted to do.
I have had the same Mach 3 razor for about 12 years. I should be the poster child for the Mach 3.
My routine is usually something like this:
Tues-Thurs: shave every morning with Braun Synchro electric (expensive, but does a great job)
Fri-Sun: no shaving (unless formal weekend event)
Mon: shave w/ Gillette Fusion (so much better than Mach 3)
Really, none of the above matters though. There hasn't been a razor invented that can shave my face with causing all-day razor burn.
For the guys who use an electric daily, is there anything you use afterward to cool down the burn? I haven't really tried very many things, but I'd like to find something that works.
Much like everyone else, I really hate shaving. :sad:

I was thinking the same thing... I use electric, but used to bounce back and forth between electric and razors. I use a Braun now and it has a stand that you put it in and it cleans it. It does a decent job. Nice thing is you can rinse it with hot water when you are done.
Despite all this, I hate shaving and probably only shave once every five days...
