Title says it all. Which do you prefer? Drawing blades across your face and suffer shaving burns/irritations after or have it quick and hassle free with a shaver? Personally I would prefer electric, sure it doesnt cut as clean as a blade but it takes a minute or less. Chicks dig the 5 o'clock shadow anyways.

Electric.

My facial hair grows so damn slow anyway(I think I barely need to shave once a month, seriously), it doesn't really matter to me. the electric does a good enough job for me.

Blades.

I use one of those million-blade razors. Gets my face nice and smooth, without any troubles.

Blades, been using them for the longest time.
If I want to stay clean shaven, every other day is what I gotta do, for my face and head.

In bathroom drawer right now, I have both. Which one I use depends on how much time I have to do it or how lazy I'm feeling at the moment

Yeah, the electrics are fast, but not nearly as close. At least, not the ones I've tried.

I've been using blades since I was in the 9th grade. Today, I use a Gillette Mach 3. Tried an electric shaver once, but didn't cut close enough.

Girls might like the 5 o'clock shadow look, but when I've never been a girl who liked the feel of hard stubby whiskers rubbed across her face or thighs....

Same here.
Plus, I sit in the shower in the morning to wake up (Japanese showers are like a bathroom with a shower head) and shave in the shower, which isn't something you could do with an electric.

Use an electric for the nose hair though.

I also use razors. I'm currently using a Gillette Fusion. It's got a 5 blades in the head (one on the backside for fine detailing) and a vibration feature.

I've tried electrics before and they just irritate my skin and don't shave nearly as close as a traditional razor.

Shinora · « **Reply #11 on:** December 20, 2006, 06:15:43 AM »

i use both actually, for different looks and occasions. but most of the time i use electric unless im going to a something formal or an interview.

3 blades is already overkill 5 is just insane!!!!

You want a sure bet way of waking up straight? Try cold water showers

I use a Gillette M3Power Nitro razor, which uses a standard 3 blade system but with a vibration feature, much like Damaramu's. Much rather prefer a close shave than go electric.

hahaha...for me i prefer blade coz i dont need to do everyday since my facial hair grow so slow..sometimes use scissors only =.=

Ericks · « **Reply #15 on:** December 20, 2006, 04:38:13 PM »

I use blades. I used an electric when I first started but it seemed really crap so I bought a 3 blade razor and I can't imagine using an electric again.

SomethingWild · « **Reply #16 on:** December 20, 2006, 06:04:05 PM »

shaver.. it's quicker.

Blades. Even though electrics are convenient and less messy, manual blades just give me a better/smoother shave.

Norelco Cool Touch Electric. Blades=cuts=blood. Clean shaven, yes, irritation definitely
