For 15 or so years, I've shaved using a razor. Gillette Mach 3 I think, with it's patented 21 blade system. Lately, I've been considering making the switch to an electric. My one experience with an electric shaver was not a good one. Admittedly it was probably not a very new, or good one (it was left behind my my then-girlfriend's ex-boyfriend so I figured what the heck I'll give it a go), but it left me a bit red and didn't cut particularly close. Obviously there is much that will really just come down to personal preference, but I'd love to hear what you guys think are the relative pros and cons of each. Some thoughts/questions I have: - Is it THAT much quicker to shave with an electric shaver over using a razor? - Do the modern electrics catch the hair rather than dropping it (so I could potentially shave in morning traffic a la Mr Bean) - Is the old Remington line "as close as a blade or your money back" actually true? If anyone has made the jump, in either direction for that matter, I'd love to hear why they did it
