Do they still ‘kinda’ suck?
Getting tired of the traditional way. Tried electric 20 years ago, surely there has been some kind of improvement?
Thanks in advance.
Yes, I’ll be using this for a Brazilian, and I will post pics.

Looking at the Braun series 9 9095. Anyone have one?
Careful, I posted pics of my boys and the mods took them down.
Lesbo 9000 is the one you need
I suppose you could use one as a vibrator if you are brave enough.
I tried it about 10 years ago and have never looked back. I can't see myself standing in front of a mirror and shaving anymore. I have a short piece of highway on the way to work in the a.m. and little traffic, so I just shave on the way. One hand on the wheel. Unfortunately mine is on the fritz so I'm in the market for a new one. Curious about any recommendations. also.
That’s because you didn’t meet the 2” minimumQuote:

I switched maybe two years ago when my face suddenly became really sensitive to soap/shaving cream. Overall, i really like the electric razors. I've always had a hard time with them getting close enough on my neck, but I tried a rotary style Phillips Norelco this time and it seems to work a bit better for me than the foil style.
They seem to work best if you're using them every day. If I let myself get a couple of day scruff, then shave it off, I have trouble getting really close on the multidirectional hairs on my neck. I have to use the little trimmer attachment on them and then I can use the main rotary shaver again. Overall, though, I find them really convenient and that they give me a pretty good shave.
Braun has very expensive cutter head replacement costs.
I love my Panasonic ES-LT41 wet/dry. I don't need 5/6 cutting areas. High end Panasonic's had expensive parts too.
Do some googles and you see Panasonic in a lot of lists. I was using an ancient Remington foil
Cost for me is not *really* an issue if I can find a solution that doesn’t cut the shit out of my face every time I shave. I use three lotions and the best razors money can buy, and still I cut the hell out of myself. I have very thick facial hair, and (apparently) very sensitive skin. A tough combo.
Love my 15yo old Braun. Been wearing a full beard recently, otherwise I'd have bought a new Braun already.
Why would anyone bother shaving these days? I haven't shaved in over three weeks. I keep my cash and prizes groomed for comfort and staging, but that's about it these days.
Because it itches to all fuck, and gives me ingrowns.
Stop showering. Then everything will itch and you won't notice.Quote:

Higher end wet dry have the cleaning tanks - Panasonic or Braun. Using a Braun now, but have had a few Panasonics also. Norelco has a few followers too- but the biggest advantage of the
rotary is they are a bit faster to cover your full face, but they do not get close areas like foil can. You also want one with a flip out trimmer, or else have a separate trimmer model for stubborn areas and sideburns, etc.
Braun's were rated highest for thick hair/beards. My biggest beef with Braun is the cutter heads can cost up to $80, absurd. Just buy it at Costco, easy returns if you don't like itQuote:

I have used a few and any of the top end models are adequate, and just that, adequate. In my expereince an electric will never come close to a proper blade shave. I use my electric daily, and blade a couple times a week...seems like a good compromise of convenience and a good, smooth face.
When you say that you have used the best razors have you been using cartridge or a double edged safety razor? I had very similar issues to the ones you describe and found that a safety razor was so much better for my skin than expensive cartridge razors. It takes a bit of practice, but it’s worth it in my opinion.
^^^Especially if you learn to do a proper shave. Shave oild, a good diaper cream and a beaver brush makes for an incredible shave. Never did do the straight razor thing, but the above and a straight razor is supposed to be the ultimate shave.
