I used to be an electric razor man. From the first day I shaved my chin and upper lip at the tender age of fourteen, I was taking advantage of electric razors. It just seemed like the cool route to take. I certainly didn’t want to walk around with tiny pieces of toilet paper on my face. So anyway, the first one I tried was a Norelco. It worked okay, but I wasn’t so impressed by the triple-blade system. This couldn’t be all there was. Then down the road I put down my father’s electric shaver and tried out a Braun foil shaver. AHH, this was much better. It shaved closer, and there was no irritation. I assumed back then that everyone preferred electric razors, except maybe for a few old geezers. Man was I ever wrong. At the age of 22 I tried a traditional Gillette Sensor. NICE! This baby cut closer than the electric razors I was previously used to. Of course there were a few minor nicks at first, but nothing major. I then converted to the cartridge razors, and now enjoy the Mach 3.
