I fall into the anti-electric camp. I have been a loyal Mach3 user for years, and last year I got a Braun Activator. I could never get a shave close enough or as fast as I do with the blades. In addition, I also have sensitive skin and no matter what products I used with the Braun, I had a red, irritated and painful face! (No jokes about the painful face, please ).

With the Mach 3 I use a variety of sandalwood-based products from The Art of Shaving, including pre-shave oil, shaving cream applied with a shaving brush (I have home and travel brushes) and an aftershave cream. I'll stick with this, but good luck with whatever you wind up doing!!!
