    Both my sons (17 and 21) have electric razors, but have resorted to the old-fashioned wet shave! They found it difficult to get a close shave without breaking skin with the electric ones.
    The 17 year old uses cheap supermarket razors, uses them once and bins them - but he only shaves once or twice a week. The eldest needs to shave at least daily and has a freebie vibrating one. He says he may consider going back to electric when he's older, if his skin gets less sensitive, but finds a wet shave just as quick - with better results.
    "Cheap", "Fast", "Right" -- pick two.
