Seriously though, I never was able to get a close shave (at the time only my face) with an electric... and I always used one of the top o' the line Norelco. The electrics could barely touch my beard and I've always had better luck with the good ol' Gillettes!
But if it works better for you, then great find! ;D

I was in the same boat Rob. I had the receipt put in a convienient place so I could return that baby if it didn't do what it claimed. To be honest, I am shocked. Something wierd though.....it gets my head smoother than my face???? I have a thick beard though. Another buddy of mine that shaves his head recommended it and said you won't believe it till you try it. He was right.

Well, that actually makes sense since hair is typically finer than whiskers... maybe one day when I lose my stubborness, I'll give it a shot! ;D
Tyler:
I found that my head gets much more smooth with an electric than my face does. Though, I am amazed how well an electric does, for me, it still doesn't provide as close of shave as the HeadBlade I'm using. Actually, I can't even use an electric on my face without causing noticable irritation.
PigPen:
I gave up on electrics a long time ago. Period...I have quite an extensive collection of my great grandad's old electrics though. I'll never get rid of 'em because of the sentimental value though.
wpruitt:
My last electric was a Norelco Triple Header (like the one Santa use to ride in the old commercial). I did not get razor burn on my face from it, but did have to shave again in the evening if I were going out. Nothing like my Fusion .... but damned the cost of the blades
David:
I use an electric and while a regular razor may get slightly closer(mainly against the grain), the difference is so minimal that when you factor you can shave without a mirror and that for the most part it has eliminated all cuts/irritation it's worth it.
