I have been using Gillette's finest, tho the technology is 15, or more, years old. Time to move up to the latest & greatest, & wondering what shaving system anyone might recommend. Thanks.

Rocking the Fusion to satisfaction. Combined with Edge gel, it handles all the manscaping I care to do...

ETA - mine is the one with juice - battery seems to last about a year or so. I used to be a Mach 3 guy, no more. I did have a desire to try straight razor but I don't trust my hands enough - you've seen my typing!

The battery operated fusion razor works real good when I miss a few days in between shaves.

I tried the Fusion, got serious razor burn with every cream/gel combo, went back to the Mach 3 and back to butter smooth shaves. The Fusion seemed to clog up something fierce, even with power on it.

When I shave the beard off I use a straight razor. It still is the only razor I dont cut myself with. Bear

been using the mach 3 since it came out.

tried the 4 and five blade sets but i only shave once or twice a week so the beard growth plugged the 4 and 5 blade too quickly. the trac 3 gives a babys butt close shave, stays sharp forever and never clogs.

best blade evere made. wink

I've probably gone through every electric shaver phenom that has ever come along. I usually gave up in a month or less and discarded them or gave them away. I've been using the single edge blade since they came on the market and they've almost disappeared now.

Since I no longer desire the fresh, clean shaven look. I've tried the electric again. I think it's a Norelco variant of some sort, yes, Phillips/Norelco. I use it a couple times a week along with some razor touch-up for the 'stache area now and then. It took a couple months to get used to it but I'm doing okay. Might just get along with this one.

I run the Mach 3 and Edge shaving gel.

No razor burn, much much closer shave than any electric I've used.

Just a caution gents.................I tried one of those battery powered jobbies....the first few shaves went well.

New blade, battery died. Did some wiring to hook it up to 110V,
and pretty near sliced me weinie off.

Sorry, can't help in your choice. I gave up on the insane practice over 30 years ago . . .

Kudos to you my friend, you were a pioneer!!

Unfortunately, in today's world where we expect it, so do the ladies.

Mach 3...Have tried various electric shavers over the years and none came anywhere near as close as a wet shave; no special gells or lotions' just what ever happens to be in the shower when I shave...

My wife nearly tore my smooth nuts off when she found her fuzzy razor sitting on the edge of the shower.
