<p>This x1000. Once you go electric, you never go back.</p>
<p>Mach 3 all day err day.</p>
<p>I don’t know if it’s my skin or what, but electric razors don’t do a very good job</p>
<p>I use an xacto knife. The shave doesn’t get much closer than that</p>
<p>@King: Not true, I started with a Norelco and after I couldn’t find a set of replacement blades, switched over to a manual in the Summer, I’ve been using it ever since, except for a single time when I got annoyed at the manual not shaving my chin and used the electric over that part. But really, I like the manual better now, my face feels nicer and I don’t get razor burn that requires annoying creams and savs to fix</p>
<p>LOL @ the xacto knife</p>

<p>I dig out each hair follicle with a pin.</p>
<p>I find electric shavers don’t give as smooth of a shave.</p>
<p>

<p>I use an old-school safety razor with double-edged razor blades. I’m not sure how it compares with other razors but it’s pretty cool. Blades are cheaper than mach whatever cartridges too.</p>
<p>Shave secret oil 3 drops and let it sit for 5-10 seconds, then apply C.O. Bigalow shaving cream on top of that for 15 seconds. Shave with grain. re-apply shave oil and cream and either shave at a 90 degree angle toward your nose or for extra close go against the grain. If you go 90 degrees go towards the nose, re-apply and go towards the ears. Wash off, and place cold water or towel to close the pores.</p>
<p>Living overseas I started using the straight blade, love it. Of course, for some parts I use an electric shaver because I actually do like to leave a little bit on, something light, they call it an after 5 I think. All depends. </p>
<p>If you’re going for the clean shaven look, I’d say start with a warm towel on your face, a little shave oil or cream, and then just take it off with a straight blade, it’s very clean and smooth. I always get irritated at the razors having to rinse them so much, just be careful with the straight blade if you go that way.</p>
