probably need to get one. i've just been using a beard trimmer for the last year and i always look like i have a days growth. every once in a while i need to be clean and HATE using a razor and shaving cream. thoughts? ideas? how long do these things last? how close will they get me? can i go cheap here and still get something decent?

[Stupid Fitz]

Don't go cheap. They do an ok job. If you grow a thick dark beard you may not like it. They get pretty close, but not as good as a razor. I replace mine every couple years.

Like my uncle with his wives!

a razor and shaving cream gets so much closer, though.  feels wonderful.

there are very few things that i hate more than shaving w/ a razor and shaving cream. wet socks are one.

I use a dull, disposable razor in the shower with no shaving cream.  I'll use the same one for months.  Only try this if you are incredibly manly.

[CHONGS]

I have an electric.  its ok, I wish I would have bought a more expwnsive one though.

Thanks to dax's HSIQ from TOS, I use a merkur. Great shave.

Used a Norelco for quite a while.  Never would get me smooth.  Always felt like it was afternoon-of-the-day-you-shaved growth immediately after you finished shaving.

Wife hated it.  Still scratched her up, even after shaving.

Back to gel and disposables. 

Seriously considering having laser treatment on the face.  Could probably pay for itself after 2 or 3 years of not buying shaving crap anymore.  I look like a homeless person with a beard.

I spent 150 on a Norelco about 6 years ago and it still works great.  It will keep your face smooth you just gotta have some patience and take a little more time in the morning.

One benefit of using and reusing disposable razor in the shower with no shaving cream is that it's great if you have very little time and are very impatient.

I'm kinda dependent on a mirror

why does it take patience? i've never used anything like this before. is it harder or easier than just shaving w/ shaving cream and a non electric type razor? seems like it would be easier.

Don't ever go blind, dude.

Not electric but it beats any disposable razor out there. Cheap too.

My dad bought me a nice panasonic one a couple years ago for christmas and said it would be really good.  I didn't really think much of it, but it's been over 3 years now (maybe even 4, can't remember) and the thing works just like new with no signs of slowing down, love it.

[mcmwcat]

is this thread meant for junior high kids or grown men?   

[chum1]

One package of disposables per year, dudes.  And I don't even buy a name brand.

I replace the cleaning fluid maybe once every 4-6 months. I replace the head after 2 years. It's pretty good if you just need to clean up your shave. I use it daily. If I skip a day or two, I need to wet shave, just to get really close.

Braun Series 7. Just got it for Christmas and it's amazing, as razors go.

how easy is it to shave w/ compared to shaving cream and regular/non electric razor?

The Norelco info said that it will shave you in a different direction than what you prolly do with a disposable.  It said it takes something like 90 days for your beard to get used to it.    That was about 5 yrs ago, so don't know if they still state that.
