I use Gillette Fusion as I find its softer on my skin - I get very bad razor burn and end up using load of gell - find the Gilette the best. I also have to make sure the hairs have had a good soak to soften them.
Many years ago when I first started shaving I used an electric one. If you're not very beardy or have quite soft facial hair, they're okay.
If you've got a full, manly helping of beardy bits, they're pretty awful. Very oftend they'll miss hairs, so you end up with wispy bits left, plus if you've left it a couple of days, they really do pull on the hairs. I've also got rather sensitive skin, and found electric shaving rather irritating on the face.
I guess though if you're prepared to pay for a really expensive one, they may be better.
I hate shaving - Beard or head. I was listening to Radio 4 a while ago and they were talking about shaving. There is a pill you can get that will make your hair adn beard fall out. unfortunatly it will make every other peice of hair fall out as well.

You know, I hate shaving so much that I think that pill is worth considering... like Dave I have my entire head to do on a regular basis...

I have a mowhawk at the moment to consider - love it!
The downside to the pills would be you lost all pubic hair chest hair eyebrows etc.. only good point is you would not get the crop of ear and nose hair most people get once they are older.
anyone pulled a nose hair out - they are sometimes very long - go right up to the brain.
