This thing. It has changed my life in terms of shaving. You can shave dry or wet and because the blades never actually touch your skin, there is nearly zero irritation. Its the perfect solution in my opinion.

Have to disagree and I have tried every razor both electric and manual under the sun. To each their own I suppose.

People have different skin, electrics irritate some but not others.

Electrics tear me up. I need fresh blades and the super slick shaving cream to have any hope of avoiding red marks and bumps. I’m jealous of the people that can just toss an electric in their bag and go.

Day 1, before I leave the house, I shave with a Gillette ProGlide. I have their subscription service, so every 3 months, I get a fresh set of blades and shaving cream for sensitive skin.

Once I leave, I use a Braun Series 7 electric. It has the cleaning base, so it starts the trip clean. I find that if I start clean shaven, the electric does a pretty good job.

Recently bought a Braun electric, thought it was a waste for the first 2 weeks but once I got used to it, no complaints.

Some people just weren't built for shaving and everyone has very different skin. I finally found an electric razor that doesn't make my neck look like a teenagers face. The solution here is to finally be allowed to grow a well trimmed beard.

Simple. Shave only at home and if on a long trip put a mask on in the airport or when in public view to hide stubble. Turn the pandemic against them for your own use.
