Wet shave, Gillette somethingorother
Electric is no good, it snags round the scrotum

Have sampled a few on holidays in Turkey, to be honest most of the time I only go for the head massage because I get a closer shave myself
Electric shave in the shower -all tingly.
Actually I find the best shave is when I just come in from a run with a sweaty face -must be something to do with pores being open . But it's much better than anything else , so just get a sweat on .

Had a full beard since the age of 18 and used a comb and scissors. Graduated to a beard trimmer for the next 30 years. Started going bald at the crown so the beard trimmer was used on what was left. Receding from the front meant a Kojak was necessary. The full beard was then reduced to a goatee and safety razors were used. Now shave every other day, shower gel for lather and a cheap twin blade which lasts about 3 weeks. If I leave the growth for longer than 3 days then I use an electric before the wet shave. At this moment into my 4th day of beard growth, still shaving the old bonce, going to see what a months full beard growth looks like. I know it will be grey.
I used to have an electric shave but it started giving me razor burn and it was never really a close shave. I've had a wet shave for over a year now and I just got this for Christmas.
My old electric shaver has been relegated to pube-trimmer.

Dunno. Haven't used it. I assume it makes the blade move side-to-side whilst your shaving. I just manually shave and the blade moves around the sides of my face.
I never have a close shave due to the rash it causes on my neck / under chin . So I use a beard trimmer n a razor for the stray bits on my neck ... Pesky buggers
Always wet shave and not multi cartridge crap. Use a safety razor with razor blades and decent cream. I favour Taylor of Old Bond Street cream. Don't forget a decent hog hair brush or badger if you can afford one. Loads of prep and take your time.
