I recently purchased the Phillips Norelco Senso Touch razor and after years of shaving with disposables like it very much. Just a quick review - the battery lasts for something like 15 shaves, cuts very close, and because the heads can flex I don't miss a spot. Moreover, it has cut my shaving time in half and I plan on reducing my overall costs on razors since the heads last over a year opposed to buying disposables every week. With that being said, which do you use disposable or electric razors? And, what brand do you prefer?

When a clean face was important to my clients, I had to shave everyother day. I have always used an electric razor (Remington) except for Navy boot camp. Now, I don't have to worry about appearances and will often go a week or more between shaves. Of course, I have to use a trimmer first and then the shaver as it gets pretty long. During my vacations I just skip it altogether and tackle it once I get home.

Electric, if it hasn't been long since I last shaved. Disposable (cheapest of the cheap, single blade), if not.

I had a friend actually go for hair removal. He couldn't grow a beard/moustache that wasn't a patchy mess. Now he doesn't have to shave at all. Ever. His wife didn't like the stubble, anyway.

If I let my beard and moustache grow, it looks OK for a while, but I honestly can't maintain it any more than I could cut my own hair. So after a while, I always end up shaving it off.

I have a Phillips - Norelco Shaver that I really like and I also have a Phillips - Norelco Grooming kit that I use primarily for my Moustache and sometimes if my eye brows get shaggy and trimming side burns.
