Tweezers will give you that smooth feel every time.

I am looking at some wet/dry razors you know electric razors that you can use with gel or cream on your face.

I was just wondering if any of the brethren has a brand they recommend,or a electric razor that has given them good service .

I'm all ears for electric razor advice.

Jeff has a Phillips Norelco like this one, and he really likes it. Plus, you just rinse it clean under the faucet. Very easy to take care of. It took awhile for his skin to adjust, though, from using a regular razor.

P.S.--that is not the same Norelco I bought--his wasn't $250! LOL!!! I think his was around $120, but it still had the pivot/swivel action, and the three rotating blades.

Bought my husband a Braun last year. He likes it. It was over $100 but does a good job; it has a unique cleaning system as part of the package.
btw the cleaning solution is a bit hard to find.....

(he has verry sensitive skin and this doesn't irritate)

Brauns seem to be highly favored.

I switched to an electric a few years back after a lifetime of using the foam and scrape method. I don't get as close a shave, but "metro" is not in vogue in my neck of the woods anyway.

It took my face a full year to adjust to the electric razor, and I would never go back. I never use a scraper now, and if I do, it has the same effect on my face as a 12 gauge with bird shot.

I use a Remington Titanium Rechargeable that was about $100 or $120, and I buy replacement blades for half price off of eBay. I use the blessed "three in one" type and begin my shaving ritual this way, “In nomine Patris et Filii et Spiritus Sancti.”

I just got a Braun for my birthday last month. I've had a rotary razor and never liked it. I love my Braun. I didn't get the most expensive one because I didn't see much need in a rotary head that tilted. I've tried my dads and didn't see why I couldn't just move my hand a little and get the same results. But I didn't buy the cheapest one either. I think there are three of them and I got the one in the middle.

I too got tired of paying the high cost for the tripple blades that just didn't seem to do that good of a job. And some of the cheaper ones just didn't see to do a good Job. I bought a old fashon razor off ebay Scott that uses the plan old fashon double edge razors that you can get cheep. You have to be carful not to cut yourself, but nothing shaved like these old fashon razors. I love both my razors now.
