Electric razors vs catridge blades

[djw19]

For those of you who have used both electric and cartridge razors, which have you found to be better for razor bumps? I know DE is the preferred way to go, but if you had to chose electric or cartridge which one would it be?

I'd grow a beard if those were my only 2 choices. Having said that, I would choose a TracII razor over an electric razor any day.

The only electric razors I've used are the wet/dry versions and could get a decent shave without razor bumps.

Cartridge all day long and twice on Sundays.

I'd go with a Sensor.



I won't shave with an electric. Period.

+1 I think the sensor is the best cartridge razor gillette ever made. I tried every style of elctric out there and none ever gave me a good shave.

I used Trac II with ASR no lube strip cartridges for 20 years or so and a Panasonic electric for a couple of years before switches to DE. I never got bumps with the TracII, but it did happen a couple of times with the electric. I was able to get a decent shave with the electric except for on my neck, the Panasonic just would not give a good shave lower on the neck. I had to use a TracII razor to touch up on the neck with an electric.

Cartridges, definitely. Can't stand electrics. "Close as a blade, with less irritation!" Yeahhh, right.

If I had to choose, i would go for electrics, my last Wilki disposable give me 6 bumps in 3 days O_O
But the sensorII is also a terrible shaver.
At this moment, I shave with an electric because i can't get great shave with DE, they're too irritating.

Life is too short for 20 hour grinds (like I have to do with an electric) so cartridge for me, although the original question is like "would you prefer to be stabbed or shot?"

No contest reallyCartridge razors cut hair poorly.Electric shavers just hack the hair off your face.The most disgusting invention of the 20th Century.
