My wife got me a Braun Activator for Christmas. Up until now, I've never used an electric shaver. So far, I'm getting used to it, but I think I like it. It seems to take longer but there's no mess.

What do you use?

I use a razor, Mach 3. For my legs I use a lady bic.

Had one of those Remington things for years, one day it malfunctioned and literaly sanding my chin..ouch! Went to a Sensor after that....now Im using those disposable Gillete 3 things.

Someday, someone will invent a 3 blade razer with that plastic insert piece, so you can push it to shove the debris out rinse it out.

I havent gone back to electric since, although some of the self-cleaning Brauns look good. Just cant see spending $100-$179 for one.

The only problem I had with electrics was that the shaving cream seemed to clog it up pretty quicky.

Don't have this problem with the Braun. It's a dry shaver.

I was kidding anyway

How do you like that new shaver?

It's closer than a blade. When I first started using it, I bled a bit. First couple of days it really seemed to irritate my face, but I'm getting used to it.

wow, if you bled it sounds like the thing gives a close shave. I've heard when you start to use an electric, you get some irritation at first.

I wouldn't mind trying one.

It's left some welts on my face, and I've managed to nick a few places on my neck. Doesn't bleed like a razor when it bites you, but it gets your attention.

All I've ever used is an electric shaver. Works great. Never used blades.
