Do you prefer power or manual?

I know that Canadian air is rough, but you really ought to try a ski mask instead.

Is that the flapper end?
.

That is when after hitting the flapper end of the chain, the toilet seat hit him in the back of the head. The whack on the head caused him to lose his grip, and he fell into the counter. Injuring "his self"

Manual.

I guess a follow-up to manual would be "straight razor, safety razor, or scary-sharp chisel?"

Lately I'm liking the Gillette Fusion...

My hair is too tough for electric.....stalls out the motor
manual only for my face

[kirkroy]

I shave my face and head with a manual. The electrics shave closer for me but I can't skip a day if I use electric, they only seem to do a good job if the hair is already short (wife bought me a braun a couple christmases ago).

At four bucks a blade, you'd have to like it a lot...

Manual

This is the one thing I prefer manual over electric.

No Gillette for me, P&G are pretty bad when it comes to animal testing.

Shaving every day, I am fine with my Norelco electric. If I miss more then one day, I go back to my safety razors; either smooth, or bearded style, depending.

I did once try to shave with an old family straight razor, but it hadn't been sharpened in forever (thankfully), because as is, it cut the **** out of me.


Now, you manual shavers, can, bar, or cup of soap and a brush?

[dbhost]

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.

I simply cannot find an electric razor that gives anywhere near as clean of a shave as a blade, I use a blade, and am in no hurry to change over...

FWIW I own 3 electric razors. I bought one, my parents gave me one a few years ago for Christmas, and my wife bought me one thinking I would like it. The one my wife bought, a nice high end Remmington wet shaver is actually pretty decent... But not enough to make me use an electric...

[jhart]

I use both. If I'm getting all cleaned up, I use the manual. If I'm doing work around the house or on the apartments, I use the electric. Electric not as close, but quick and look presentable. Don't think I would use the electric on an everyday basis.

[Uncle Cracker]

Whenever I use an electric, it always seems to me that they should instead call it a "power plucker"...

What's this razor thing you guys are talking about?????

[Kristofor]

I use a Gillette manual 2 bladed, pivoting disposable razor. I actually like the single bladed ones better, but they no longer seem to stock them at my local store.

I will use each razor only once and then I pitch it, which I admit seems somewhat wasteful. However, with a new razor I might cut myself once or twice per year. Try to stretch it to 3 days or a week per blade and that number would go up to once every couple weeks and even when I don't cut myself my skin ends up rather irritated.

[messmaker]

I use both. I use a manual when I want the very best but an electric followed up with a manual to trim is quicker.

An electric razor takes a while to get used to. It can take a month before it is working as well as it is going to.
