Well, after trying like everything, normal razors, double-edge safety razors, straight razors, I must say that electric clip razors ( the ones you usually use to cut your hear off in the army ) are kind of an " allrounder ".
I am shaving my head and also my beard off using an electric razor and to me it has 3 benefits. 1. It all goes much faster. 2. It is much better for my skin. 3. It still gives you a " manly " look since some stubbles usually stay.
So the point I am trying to make is, why not always using an electric clip razor ? I know that it is not as 100% clean shaven like when using a straight razor or a double-edge razor, but it safes a hell of a lot money if you count it all down on like 1 years. A cheap electric razor costs you probably between 14 £ - 25 £ but getting new blades, shaving cream, aftershave and/or several creams using a for example double edge razor costs you definitely more than 25 £ a year ! Now imagine using a straight-razor, you will probably lose even more money buying the honing stone and the leather-strop + maybe sending it for professional honing some rare times.
So in total, I think buying an electric razor just costs you ONCE and that's it. No aftershave, no shaving cream, no honing, no whatever is needed. You just plug it in and use it. And if after like 4-5 years of use, your electric razor seems to not cut as good anymore, you can easily order in new blades from the company you bought it from for like 20-30 £ or less.
What do you guys think about it ? I am seriously think about to stop using double-edge safety-razors and settle over to electric razors instead. Less of the costs, but because of saving time and effort. Saving money is just a positive side-effect.
Cheers Leko.
