Been there, done that, leaves you stubbly. My recipe: shower, make sure to washcloth or loofah your face (raises the hairs), and then when you shave apply a layer of any kind of lotion (you know, the kind you pump out of one of those soap-dispenser-looking-thingies). After applying lotion (which creates a thin, slippery film), put on the shaving cream, and then GO AT IT like an Olympic ice-skater. It truly is that easy. (If this works for you, Jon, that's Item #3958 on the "Ways Rowan Has Improved My Life" list.) Electric razor? BLASPHEMY. Been there, done that, leaves you stubbly.

If you're switching, though, I get pretty good results with Norelco also. I'd agree that it's good on the face but not so good on the neck. The cordless aspect is the best part, because (for me) I can defer the shave until I'm driving to work. It's easy to do one-handed and it doesn't require much concentration. They do have waterproof models also. Supposedly you're supposed to replace the blades fairly often, but my hair's pretty thin and I've literally gone for two years on a single pair of blades without any problems. If you get a cheap model, though, replacement blades will likely cost just as much as the razor itself. Be aware that you can actually, cut yourself with electric razors, but it's a twice-a-year-at-most thing. I actually grew up not knowing how to shave with a straight razor.

I've had a Mach 3 for at least 4 years, but decided to try one of those Norelco wet/dry things that squirts lotion. A real razor shaves closer... I only have to shave every other day with a real razor. I have to shave every day if I use the Norelco, and while it does an acceptable job of leaving my face smooth, my neck definitely feels like coarse sandpaper... but there's no razor burn. When it comes in really handy is when I don't get up until I have no time to do anything but shower (which is often), and then I can just incorporate it into my shower routine since it's cordless. I had tried a Remington way back in high school, but the facial hair was a lot thinner then, so my experience with it probably doesn't apply anymore. It would get awfully hot though.
