Buy a good braun or philips electric razor. Give your face a month to adapt, I find them superior to traditional shaving. Make sure to shave before getting your face wet.

This man speaks the truth. I spent $60 on a Braun at Costco over six years ago and it’s still going strong. Only have to replace the head every six or 12 months (I forget as the light changes color when it’s ready) for like $18 and it works great. I shave every other day when I’m off work, if I go longer than that it’s a slower, more tedious shave but still not terrible.

I’ve always used electric on the road. Braun has always been my go to, but their products have gone downhill so I’m starting to look for an alternative. The series 7 was awesome back in the day..if you can get your hands on one of those get it..got a series 9 a few weeks ago and it just doesn’t compete, it leaves me with a 5:00 shadow. Not close at all.

Have they stopped making the travel-sized (3oz) bottles of William's Lectric Shave? I can't find it anywhere anymore.

Has anyone found a similar replacement?
