I really would like an electric. Blades are just too expensive.

Actually, there's only one razor I'll use: Schick Extreme 3 razor.

Not only does the head pivot, but the blades bend slightly to better follow the contour of your face, something that the Gillette razors--including their high-end M3 Power--don't do. Combine the Extreme 3 with Edge shaving gel and I get extremely close shaves with no nick or cuts.

I think it's just my skin, but I can get a closer shave with my panasonic electric razor than with my Mach3 razor...

I've actually tried the Gillette Mach 3 and was not very impressed. I like the Schick Extreme 3's ability to follow the contour of your face.

I can't get a close shave with an electric...I've tried cheapos, and expensive titanium blade ones...so conventional razors it is for me. Plus, electrics irritate my skin for some reason.

I used to have that problem. I just wash my face immediately after shaving. FTW
