I use both. I have a Panasonic. It takes a while to get used to the electric, but I like it. You have to think a little bit differently when using the electric. For the best shaves, I still use the Mach 3 Turbo. I don't bother taking the electric when I travel. But I like the convenience of being able to shave anywhere/anytime at home with the electric. I just dry-shave with the electric. When I'm done, I wash the grill and blades with anti-bacterial soap.
One adjustment that you noticed too is that you don't have to press hard with the electric and you don't want to press hard with the electric. It can take several passes to get an area tidy. If you press hard, you'll get skin irritation. It's more of a light touch.
