Anyone use an electric shaver. I have had 3. Even a really expensive one I got as a gift never got close enough. Who uses those things?

[Sector7G]

That's probably what I should switch to then.

I shave approximately every 8-10 days.....anyone else do something similar. I hate shaving to be honest and you can get away with it here more than back home.

The price for the 16-pack of Mach 3 in Costco is hard to beat........that 16-pack can last me the guts of a year!!

Even though I hate hate hate being a customer of the horrible Gillette corporation, I haven't had a decent shave from other brands, so I'm stuck with them.

But, I'll give anything a try.

Nowadays, I'm letting the mustache and chin hair grow.........baseball player style........just trimming once a week with the same clippers we use for the dog!!!

Only having to shave the jowls and lower neck really saves on the razors.......

I had the Dorco 6 blades, but they were both less comfortable than the Gilette Sensor, and didn't last as long. There was also a problem with the head being too fat near the top, so it was hard to shave the part right under my nose without leaving unshaved hairs.

I went back to Gillette. They are expensive, but I can leave the blades in for weeks.

I shave my upper cheek area every day (the only part of my face that I'll shave against the grain) and my neck once every two or three days. The rest I trim (w/ a beard trimmer of course) once every two or three days w/ the number 2 setting. I like having a short beard.

I also feel that anything more than two blades shreds my face. The fewer the better.

I hate that crap of 3000 blades on a single razor, totally unnecessary and nothing but a marketing gimmick. I use a Merkur safety razor and my face is babyass smooth

I second the Dorco brand. Can't see the 6-bladers at my local Emart, but the 4-blade ones work good.
Plenty space between the blades which stop bristles getting jammed and giving razor rash.
I shave while in the shower, normally with shampoo for lubrication and a razor lasts a couple of weeks.
At my Emart they don't display Dorco razors with the rest of the imported razors, but the are normally down by one of the check-outs.
Seriously good and excellent value.

I use Gilette Sensor Xcel with two blades that I brought from home. They're for sensitive skin I guess. The best blade I've ever used. Listen to the other guy a few posts before me, you don't need 5000 blades. It's a marketing gimmick!

Also, shave during or after you shower. Your beard is softer after or during. That's my advice for the day!

Used to use sensor excel. I just shave enough, slide it across my face with the grain. I do use hot water towels, a brush and shaving stick to prepare. Got two weeks out of those

daimond ones about 3-4 weeks.

Switched to Mach 3 got about a month out of them.

When the 5 bladed Fusion came out they were cheaper than Mach 3 refills at the time so I tried them. Didn't notice any difference from the Mach 3s. Last about a month for me. I did actually ask the woman how many shaves you could get out of the fusions. She said at least 50!

Wow. Women's shaving seems a lot easier now.
