Why do electric shavers have such a bad reputation?
I have always had some kind of electric shaver, if nothing else as a backup or a quick shave if it is needed. Typically, I have used low-end foil shavers. I've never had alot of problems with them, never had them "chew up my face" unless I get far too aggressive and try to get every last hair cut close; then I do get irritation . But it's the same story with a blade razor, really, more or less.
If you are broke an electric shaver can actually be fairly economical as there's no soaps or creams you need to purchase, no brushes, no aftershaves. Just purchase an 8-10 dollar foil once in a while, and maybe a new shaver every five to ten years or so. It's a very straightforward way to shave.
