    I guess this is one of those YMMV moments. For me, and maybe I'm the only one ever, but every time I have switched between blade and electric or vice versa I have gone through a period of ingrown and near ingrown whiskers with the associated red bumps and discomfort. I've found that if I stick with the new medium, which ever it is, it always has cleared up within 10 days to two weeks and does not recur unless I change back again. From one type of blade to another type has been no problem. It's just between blade and electric or vice versa. I guess it's the difference in the way they stretch and cut the whisker. Just in case it should happen to you I thought I'd let you know it's not permanent, at least it hasn't been for me. Good Luck and Good Shaves!

    Regards,

    Howard
