My post in the other thread covered the process, I use a Shick Quattro Titanium (and have a pack of the 2-blade Shick disposables in case I run out of blades or have to go on vacation.) Exfoliating and using a good post-shave healer eliminate all but the occasional ingrown hair. A gift set of Clinique for Men exfoliating face scrub, shaving cream, and post-shave soother is $30 at most department stores and will last a month or two. I throw down another $12 for the extra strength face wash and it beats the hell out of bar soap for the way my skin looks and feels. A few times a year, my mom gets a $50 gift card to Saks Fifth Ave when they sponsor events at the museum where she works, and she usually passes them on to me, so my shaving supplies are practically free.
I'm probably going to get a straight razor and accessories for myself this holiday season and try them out, the old single-blade safety razor that was posted above is pretty good, but I want something a step above.

Have any of you even tried an electric?

I'd rather lather up and put my face to a running lawnmower. At least then I'll know what to expect.
