For electric, I personally like the Braun serries, especially the self-cleaning ones. Check them out, you can look up stuff online. Propercare, cleaning and maintenance will make your shaver last longer and not have to change the foil or cutter blocks as often.
For safety razor, I like Gilette Mach 3 series. Make sure you use a good shaving cream or gel.
A good way to shave in general is combo (dry/wet).
1. Shave lip and chin areas (that's goatee and moustache) with the electric (dry). Shave neck, cheek, sideburns etc with the safety razor (wet).
2. When shaving dry, DO NOT wash your face first or take a shower first. Just shave straight up. The hairs are at their most stiff and makes it easier for the electric to cut.
3. When shaving wet, it is best to wash/soak your face in hot water. Ideally you should do it in the shower after 15 minutes (but really, what guy is in there for more than 5?) or when you step out. The hairs are softened and pores opened making it easier to shave.
Make sure you use a good after shave and moisturizer too. It really isn't as time consuming as it sounds. I hate this type of stuff but I find this way is not too bad and works well.
