time said:Mubs, Merc, I feel your pain. My facial hair is coarse and irregular. Rather than being fashionably elegant with designer stubble, my desperado appearance tends to frighten children and animals.
I've always found safety razors ineffective, like using a pen knife to cut grass - I need a mower. Although frustrated with most electric shavers, I'm now happy with the better Braun models that include a cleaning 'machine'. The ability to cut against the grain suits the way my hair lays down, a big advantage over a blade.
I think safety razors only work well with soft or short hair (both of which cause problems for an electric shaver, BTW).
The Braun foil has a 'B' profile with two rows of cutting discs. There's also a flat blade that nestles in the valley, and IMO this is what allows it to shave so close, i.e. there's no comb between your face and a motorized blade! Yes, you can cut yourself if you push too hard.
Howell et al, shaving in the shower wastes water, something that we're becoming acutely aware of here on the driest continent.
I just installed a new cutter/foil on my Braun 7680 series shaver (around 2.5 years old now, had a hole in the foil), and a happy surprise is that it uses the new "honeycomb" foil design from the newer Activator series. It's like a brand new shaver again, and cost about $20 from Amazon. Works on all 7xxx shavers.
