Kyyle23 Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 "best" and "electric razor" do not go in the same sentence unless the sentence is "what is the best way to destroy my electric razor?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G&T Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 I use a Norelco Arcitec. I used some other Norelco for years before this one. I have never used a razor, so I don't know what I'm missing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthSideSox72 Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 The only way to shave: in the shower. If you haven't tried it, do it for a week. You'll thank me later. Which of course means, no electrics, thank you very much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was the smell of the razor(you know, that electric/burnt hair smell) and the pulled hairs out of my face that made me a permanent user of regular razors Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I found they sent whiskers all over the place, so I had to stand in the shower to use it anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SouthsideDon48 Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 I actually use both, an electric razor and a regular razor when I shave. ...actually, my "electric razor" isn't really an electric razor, it's one of those things that is called a "beard trimmer". Anyway, what I do is I use my beard trimmer for my sideburns, moustache, and goatee, plus my cheeks. But I use the old-fashioned razor for everything below my jawline/neck area. Basically: everything above jawline= beard trimmer, everything below jawlone= old razor. I don't remember the name of the beard trimmer I use, but it saves me a lot of time and it's more precice with trimming a sideburn line than a regular razor can ever do.

Well yeah, I use clippers/beard trimmers when I am trying to make my sideburns look passable(or goatee/beard when I feel like it) I assumed this conversation was about using a razor to shave your hair off, not trimming up your facial hair.

I learned that from "Lost" like 3-4 seasons ago (in the hatch), and haven't looked back since. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It also spits out this lotion stuff that gives you a better cut. I have never shaved with anything other than an electric shaver and it works out fine for me.

I know because I own one. Pretty soon razors are going to be the size of your entire face, and have approximtely 237 blades. You'll just put it on your face, push the whole thing down and inch, and you're done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Y2HH Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 Never liked electric for much other than trimming, they take longer and I find them uncomfortable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 QUOTE (Jimbo's Drinker @ May 3, 2009 -> 11:26 PM) What is the best electric razor you have used/are using? They suck. I love my Gillette Mach 3. They got me good with that free razor they mailed me on my 18th birthday. Maybe electrics work for people that don't have real facial hair, but if you have it, they are terrible. Or at least I've never found one that works good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How the heck can you shave without looking in the mirror. I at least need the mirror when I'm trimming around my sideburns, which I keep very thin.

You can get cheap plastic ones that attach to the wall or door of the shower, or get the fancy ones that hook to the water and cycle it behind the mirror (keeps it from fogging).

BigSqwert Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 Or install a maze of mirrors in your bathroom...similar to the one used in Enter the Dragon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
