Yeah I guess it depends on the face.
Got friends that find the electric a pain. Real easy for me, it takes a little longer, but I can do it while watching TV or playing Aces High, and no cream neeeded. I got the idea for the topic while reading the board with the shaver in my face.
I use a Norelco 5810XL, bought it for $50 (New of course) on eBay and is working like a charm.
I shave two times a week.
