I hear you. My hair does too, I probably have a small bald spot on the crown but the rest of my hair thinks it's fine and healthy and should be grown so I can fling it around like Shakira.

I used to measure myself by other sly guys but very often that was unachieable as they have male pattern baldness and are totally smooth on the top. Although we might not be as smooth as them and may have some shadow, to everyone else we are bald and although I would love to be that smooth, I see it's not gonna happen and therefore I should be plesed with what I have.

To everyone else that sees me, they think I have a shiny smooth dome - it's just me that's critical 

If you are feeling stubble that quickly I don't know if an electric would help. It has been my experience that electrics will not get as close as a blade. So if you are already dealing with stubble issues, an electric wouldn't help. I use a Schick Hydro 5 and go for hours before I start feel any stubble.

Speed of hair growth notwithstanding, the Panasonic Linear used wet will give you the closest shave you will probably ever get with an electric.

Get in the shower, do all your usual pre-shave routine then shave.  I use a low foam shave gel (King of Shaves Alpha Gel).  I take no responsibility for anyone using this shaver dry.  I would pretty much guarantee razor burn.  Use it wet and you'll think it's a miracle.

And something else to try is going both wtg and atg when your scalp is used to being shaved.
