    Do you prefer power or manual?

    I'm talking about electric razors versus the old standby. Personally, I never got used to electric razors. I still do it the old fashioned way.

                    Nope... It's the one attached to the bear trap.

                      I haven't touched a razor in must be about 30 years. I broke 6 ribs when I was 20 and it hurt too much to shave and I never got back around to it.

                        I shaved for the first time in 18 years two weeks ago, just before neck surgery. I used an electric razor, but I should have used a mower. I had no idea I had that much chin fur.

                        The beard's growing back nicely, thank you.

                          Manual. I tried an electric once, and didn't like it.
