Get your Dad a high end electric,like a Braun.I do some work with our medical auxillary in my local for people with parkinsons,or taking Plavix, Coumidin etc,thats whats recomended by the AMA.

I don't have anything as severe, just arthritis, but that doesn't do much to cause cuts.

I do notice, however, that I drink a LOT of coffee, and my shave in the morning before I drink coffee is much less eventful than it is if I wait three hours and have three cups of coffee and then do it.

Not a problem, my routine is to get out of the shower and shave quick as I have public transit to catch. On the weekends if I wait, I always feel like i'm on the edge of having a twitch from the caffeine and making a lateral move with the straight.
