Hi, newbie here.
I shaved with an electric (Norelco's) for 30 years until my wife bought me an old-fashioned razor shave at Art of Shaving in Las Vegas for our wedding anniversary:
I was completely astonished by the comfort and closeness (didn't have to shave for 2 days!). Now I use traditional shaving soaps and creams, a good badger hair shaving brush, and an (adjustable) single-blade safety razor:
Shaving's gone from an annoying, sometimes painful chore to a pleasant, almost zen-like pleasure.
