On a totally non-spiritual topic...

I have always shaved with a blade. My recent heart issues have made daily aspirin and Plavix a must, which means my blood is MUCH thinner and I bleed easily.

The smallest shaving nick bleeds like a faucet now and doesn't stop soon enough to suit me, where, in the past, they might have slightly bled but stopped quickly.

I am looking for the first time at electric shavers. Anyone here have any experience and strong brand/style preferences to educate me?

Well...as for my experience...you'll never get as close with an electric as you do with a razor....but it's good enough.

I have a Remington that has held up very well...I've had it for over a year and havn't had to replace the blades in the heads.

And it was affordable. About $30 or $35 I think. And it has a trimmer on the side that pops out to do neck and sideburn trimming.

Theres so many that I'd try and read reviews online or something.

Just remember that you get what you pay for...stay away $15 ones...they leave nasty skin burns.

Moot point now -- my wife just gave me my early Father's Day gift -- a Norelco shaver that was on sale at Costco. :lol:

PG
There is a product you can put on your face before using an electric razor. It makes a big differance in the closeness of the shave. it is an old product clled Lectric Shave. It makes virtually any razor do a better job. Doesn't smell to bad either.

Pastor Gary,

I have a friend whose husband and son break out terribly with shaving. They use a facial cream that works as a hair remover and he doesn't use a razor to shave at all. I can find out the name of the stuff if you want.

Great - PG - I was going to suggest Norelco triple header. It will take a wek or so of getting used to how it shaves, and I suggest a preshave as well. there are many kinds, I like the thin kind better than the lotion kind. (seems to make the hairs stand up better)

Yes Shellie let us know. My hubby has that problem. PG I was going to suggest the Braun, the one you still down in the cleaning element, that also is the charge stand. If you find the Norelco is not what you are looking for, give the Braun a try. It is pricey, but worth it. I had to buy one for my dad after he had his stroke.
