That is why you buy one that can be used in the shower, and that has a high RPM so it cuts instead of pulling.

Panasonic = best quality for the dollar, and that goes for everything they make.

On my 2nd norelco, I love them, makes shaving easy, but if I let it grow more than 4 days the electric doesn't work and just pulls the hair out rather than cut out off. I keep a few mach 3s around for when i need them. Other than that I love the electric razors.

Electric razors can't shave me close enough. I use a blade only.

When I didn't shave every day, I prefer blades, now shaving every day, I vote electric.
I bought a very nice one and tried it out for a few months. My beard just doesn't work well with them. The hair is very thick and grows in multiple directions. I have to grind away at it with an electric, or just use one swipe with a blade. Hell, I even use the el-cheapo blades with less irritation. I can get a year's supply of blades at Sam's Club for $20.

As long as it looks like I kinda shaved when I show up in the AM, that's all that matters. But yes, a blade gives a much better/nicer shave.

Yeah, I gotta go all crazy directions too, but I dislike the cheapo blades, so it works.

I'm an only electric guy. I've probably used a razor 15 times maybe. So much easier and faster with electric. I've been using a cheap Remington 3 circle wheels for 7 years now; never have changed the blades out.
