I'd like to buy an electric shaver, and would appreciate any thoughts (pro or con) on the various brands around, or just a reference to a Consumer Reports feature on those products. I'd also welcome any opinions on the relative merits (if any) of electric razors over disposable blades. Please reply to me, and I will summarize to the net should the feedback warrant it. Thanks in advance. Charles B. Francois (decvax!allegra!cbf) ----- "What if none of their souls were saved? They went to their Maker impeccably shaved..."

Some of us use shavers for religious reasons. (Cutting one's beard
with a knife (==razor) is prohibited in Jewish law; cutting it with
scissors (==shaver) is permitted by most rabbinic authorities.)

If REAL men don't shave (except with chainsaws, rototillers, etc),
then perhaps Gillette should market....

Shaving is perhaps the most time consuming acts of personal hygiene
there is for some men. I have a dark, fast-growing beard that only
looks good if I use a blade. Electrics leave me with a dark shadow
at noon. By growing a beard and trimming once a week, I save at least
ten minutes a day. Btw, I recommend shaving in the shower. The beard
is softer and gives a closer shave. Of course it takes some practice
w.o. a mirror.

I've got essentially the same problem and agree with the idea of shaving in the shower (even though it grots up the floor) Although I use a blade for most shaving, I also have a Mr. Whisk that a) is rechargeable and seems to keep a good charge. b) although electric allows the use of shaving foam/soap and immersion to a depth of three feet of water... I've tried several electric shavers in the past - because this one allows the use of water while shaving, it has been the only one I've liked.

<tiny little hairs....growing right out of my face!!> As one who must use both a blade and an electric for a uniformly smooth long-lasting shave (no remarks about neanderthals, please), let me offer a testimonial for Panasonic's Mr. Whisk -- a battery operated small-sized portable, perfect for travel and a quick touch-up job on the way from work to the evening's social function. This unit costs less than $30, and has an excellent blade arrangement that seems to be fairly durable. Two AA cells probably last 2-3 weeks if you use this unit for a full shave.
