[Kitsune]

Each 3rd Christmas or so I'll receive an electric as a gift which will, inevitably, end up in the trash a week later. Every brand I've tried takes too much time because it misses so much with each pass and the repeated motions only end up irritating my face. For me, a blade has always done a better job, although the expense is a bit maddening. I've always been tempting to try a safety razor, but everything about those devices suggests there's little "safe" about them.

Never trust a man with a beard. Anyone that wakes to look himself in the mirror and hold a blade to his own throat first thing each morning demands more respect than anyone unshaven.
