Hey, Bud, all I can say is whatever works go for it. When I graduated from college I got a Norelco electric (triple header) as a present.
Prior to that I had used a single-edged safety razor (non-disposable). Why it was called a “safety” razor I have no idea.
My teen-age acne left my post-shave face looking like I’d shaved with an electric fan.
Once I switched to the Norelco I found that after I got the technique down my shaves were smooth, close, painless, and bloodless.
Coincidentally just this Christmas I switched to a Braun for the first time because the low-end Norelco I had bought not that long ago was pathetic.
The Braun does not use rotory blades and is taking some getting used to.
@Don (a.k.a Dad): Of course, the main problem is that I don’t know what would work better at this point. Dr. Mac also suggested the Braun foil electrics which I’m just as open to as the safety razor/wetshave idea although both represent a relatively significant investment with uncertain returns. Especially when you consider that practically everybody says you need to give any new shaving method a certain period of time to “get used to it,” which hardly inspires confidence.
Although I did just note by checking out Braun’s website that they have a 30-day money back guarantee which I’m fairly sure no one is going to offer me for badger hair brushes and imported shaving creams, so maybe that’s the ticket.
