    When your facial hair become thicker the electric razors don't cut it(pun intended).

    I admit... I have a Braun Cruzer for about a year of 3.
    I have used it for about +/- 10 times...
    I bought it because I was tired of the long time wet shaving took (mach3).

    I can tell you that the electric shave time was at least the same (and even longer!!)
    I also tried the Philishave... even worse!

    For me: only wet shaving!
    and since a month -> please let it be with a straight razor!!
    It helps to relax, and also that is an important thing...

    Enjoy the New Year!

    If your really looking for a answer for an electric shaver at a str8 shaviing site. Did it ever cross your mind that we are here because we have tried all the other methods and selected str8 because its the best. I too have tried all the other methods of shaving and electric has to be the worst!!!!!!! Bad, crappy shave, skin burn and if you think there's no maintaince your wrong the blades, foils where out pretty quick. At least with a str8 you can hone it and be back in the game in no time at all. But this is just my experiance with electric. As for you with due respect, GOOD LUCK.

    the most important thing about using an electric is to use light pressure, watch your angle and strop properely. Oh and YMMV.

    You know, if you're still reading this thread, I notice you said you're getting tired of the whole shaving cream routine. Sounds like you're using canned goo ?

    What type of razor are you using now ? If you're still with cartridges and canned goo try a soap puck and a shaving brush with a DE and later with a shave ready quality straight. We all got tired of the goo and the disposables.

    Whipping up a lather with a good brush, soap and/or cream, and shaving with a quality DE or straight razor made shaving something most of us look forward to rather than dread. If you haven't already given it a try do so. Once the learning curve is behind you you'll be glad you did.
    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

    No, though you probably won't read this far down the thread, unless you posted the question for a laugh.
    Electric shavers with cutthroat enthusiasts are about as popular as a German Shepherd would be at a cat show.

    I would imagine the OP is just trying to get a rise out of everyone. Probably just flaming. Let's see if he has the nerve to come back and explain himself.
