For what it's worth, I've gravitated to an electric razor after a couple weeks of blade shaving. I followed a lot of sound advice, but found the blade (yes, I tried headblade and Fusion with Headslick) just too irritating to my sensitive pate. My Norelco does NOT achieve the completely slick feel, but it DOES achieve the completely slick look, I think. I run home for lunch, and am not averse to doing a quick touch-up at noon. For me electric seems to work better for me and what I'm willing to put up with. I do, however, occasionally do a blade shave -- and it feels marvelous to run the fingers over the cue-ball smooth noggin.
Cheers,

mlnhd....whatever it takes 2 keep it sly. we have a new member on this forum named slickdome68 who happens 2 b a close personal friend & his weapon is an electric razor, also. he has been sly 4 about 5-6 years. however.... u might want 2 continue using the manual razor once a week & increase it 2 twice a week in order 2 get your head accustomed 2 the blade. and it increase it to 3 times the following week, and so on.....

Warhawk, I appreciate the encouragement and recommendation to ease into the razor shave to get my scalp in training. The biggest issue with me is that the razor shave actually accentuates the worst characteristics of my pate by nicking, or at the very least aggravating them to the point of making it look red and angry...so then it's a two or three day heal-up time that detracts from the overall look. I think I'll be sticking to the Norelco for twice daily shaves and do the occasional razor shave on the weekend as a treat to smooooooth.
Thanks again.
