I use Mac 3 Turbo razor blades, and they are damn expensive. I was contemplating trying some disposable razors, but curious which ones ya'll favor. Thanks fellas.
AMoonHawk saidJust keep using the same razor ... they don't have to be like new to shave .. just pull you skin forward in the area you are shaving and it will cause the stuble to stand up, then shave agaist the grain ... one razor can go up to 6 months. You don't have to scrape the top layer of skin off in order for it to be a close shave.

They take about 30-40 days to get really used to but I have preferred electrics for over two decades. A one-time cost every 4-5 years, a yearly blade change, no water, no cream and you don't have to stand at the sink. Overall cost savings and convenience increase are huge. Closer shave than I ever got with a blade because of the 'lift and cut' technology in the new Norelcos. Just got a new 8250XL for Xmas... sweet.
Defenseon saidget laser hair removal on your face. and you'll only have to shave once a month if that...and only spot shave really.

I have one of those and can't figure the thing out. I use it to trim and then shave with a razor (on the rare occasions I shave.)
rightasrain saidNewer electrics are very different animals than the one you used.

I bought my partner a Norelco SensoTouch 3D electric, and he really likes it. He was previously a blade user, and never liked any other electrics he had tried, his biggest complaint being neck irritation. But this one is easy on his skin, while giving him a close shave, and now it's all he uses.

I'd be sad to never have the option of growing a full beard ever again (which I do every couple of months).
njmeanwhile saidWhat do you guys who use electrics do for prep and after? I have never been able to get as good a shave as with blades.
I had also read about a product from Sharper Image or Brookstone that supposedly preserved disposable blades for more uses but I find most of their stuff to be badly made and disappointing, so didn't even try it.
