The razor was sliding so smoothly. Its not as satisfying as using a sr but it for the job done. Am i crazy?

My face needed a lot more fixin' after one month of straight razor shaving. You are to be congratulated!

I tried to follow in dear old Dad's footsteps on at least three different occasions with an electric razor but I just couldn't stand the results. Sounds like you are a better electric razor shaver than I was.

wow, cool electric dragon, as i said i use the electric to finish the spots that i cant get smooth with the straight since my technique is far from perfect, but i practice a lot. I find it easier to get a good result if my beard is longer, the kind of beard that get stuck in an electric. I just wanted to try the wet electric and the next day i ended up with irritation and lots of pimples,i never got pimples in my life! So no more electric wet shaving for me. Anyway i love the feeling of using a straight like a real retrosexual ;-)
