When I use an electric, I always do it before I shower. Your face swells because the hot water opens up your poors and increases blood flow. That pushes the skin up over the follicle and an electric just can't get as close. It is easier to do on a weekend, though.

i also only shave with a blade, i tried electric, it didn't work for me, i will never use electric again. i prefer a blade, but i go with the grain, against the grain, sideways to the grain, all over, just to get as smooth as possible.
