I clicked on spankomatic 's link, funny --but then this one came up on the top of the list following it.....

Norelco man from Day One.
It depends
I keep a full beard but I do trim it regularly.
Every morning, in the shower, after lathering up with whatever shampoo I'm using (lately it's been Head and Shoulders every morning), I shave my cheek and neck area with a Gillette dual blade "Plus Custom" dispo shaver. It lasts a week or two.
The beard and mustache get trimmed dry with a Wahl Motor Clipper. The kind with a slower revving reciprocating motor, not one of vibrating the buzz bombs. I use the #3 comb. I'm able to do this in the shower, before showering, so the clippings go down the drain. Yes, the outlet is a GFCI kind ;-). Then the mustache will get clipped manually with a pair of barber scissors, also periodically, usually in the shower.
The Wahl motor clipper also comes in handy for other areas.

Ever since high school. I do not like to shave with a blade. I do not like to get my face wet outside of the shower.

I grew my first goatee at 51
and thinking about growing a full beard this Fall. At first I felt self conscious, but now I love it. I do like Edge shaving cream and Gillette Sensor razor, which I think is the best razor hands down. For me, the best way to shave is to wash your face with warm, soapy water. I use a washcloth and get it as hot as I can stand it and applied it to my face. I have stopped shaving every day for the past three years. I'm not going on TV or standing for inspection, Period! My partner shaves my back which looks like a bear, but I'm not shaving my chest as I'm proud of every chest hair I have lol. John

Wow.... I'm surprised that nobody else shaves the old fashioned way! My boyfriend has a power Fusion, so I may try it sometime just to see what it's like.
Previous--Sunbeam Shavemaster.Present-Norelco Arcitec and Braun Pulsonic-use the Norelco first-then the Braun.And use their cleaning and charging bases.So far the "replace blades" indicator on neither has shown yet.They may be coming onto that time.Tried a regular razor-too much trouble and irratation-and cuts.Suppose newer model razors don't cut skin as bad as the older models.So far stick to the two electric razors-so miss the Sunbeams!They were nice razors.Note:I have found the Norelco will cut a little closer if you hold the back part of the cutters while shaving.May irratate some skin if you try it.The Norelco blades may float on the face TOO much.And yes have a small electric razor collection-Remington,Shick,Norelco.Don't use the older ones since new blades aren't available-the old blades will pull or irritate.

I guess I'm the most old-fashioned shaver here, I still use a Gillette Atra, but I use the K-Mart version blades, and Barbasol shaving cream. I shave about every 3-4 days.

Technically, shaving is...
Mutilation...
Try shaving a cat to find out why.

I'm a Gillette Atra guy
Tried electric in my younger days. Too much pulling. Went to blade and never looked back, I feel the blade is just cleaner and not so patchy.

Always had dangly parts. No need to be sorry, it's hard to tell online with whom you are talking to.

So did my grandmother-- down to her knees-- what does that prove? (No, her uterus didn't fall out, which CAN happen!

I always have kept it simple
I shave with a shick disposable with just Dial bar soap in the shower.For me, when I was first learning to shave, it was more of a time saver.When ever I would use Shaving cream, I would break out,so I stopped buying it and never have looked back.
