Hey, I need guys (and womens' if they apply!) opinions on electric razors.

I've been using a Braun 4-series to shave my face for about 6 years now. Apparently, you're supposed to change the blades on electric razors every now and then, but I simply can't find blades for mine anywhere. I think it's time for a new one! Right now, it takes me 15-20 minutes to shave using my electric one. When I'm done, my face is super-ultra smooth though. I've traditionally shaved before, but it never works good on my face (my chin and cheeks are NEVER smooth, even though you can't really see the hair). No matter how many times I use the water-razor and shaving cream, my face simply never gets smooth. Yes, I'm going "against the grain" or whatever that phrase is that people say.

So: I need an electric razor that will shave my face damn good. I'm not talking about the generic "there's no long hair, but there's still hair there" deal; I want one that will make my face "like a baby's bottom" to use an incredibly cliche saying. Are the Norelcos good? They're not too expensive anymore. Which models and from which brand are the best? And if the good ones still take 20 minutes, then there's no reason for me to get a new one.

Do all electric razors take 15-20 minutes to get your face perfectly smooth, or do most guys not care? I just hate having any hair on my face, even stubble that you can't see.

Thanks for your time and opinions. I apologize if this has been posted before, but I looked back a good amount of pages and didn't see anything.
