My Dad has used the same electric razor since the early eighties, and when the company announced they were going to stop making the blades, he bought up as many as possible (seeling for $1 each).

There’s always the one from Manscaped, which is a full body razor; but if it can safely handle the boys, your face should be fine. I’m looking into it as a woman, because I’m sick of nicks on my legs, and the women’s electric razors SUCK. All women’s razors suck, actually. My disposables are men’s (Schick Hydro 5).

The reviews have been impressive, I have to say.

I’ve used electric (Norelco) for years.
The biggest difference is TIME.
Taking a quick sweep at your beard results in a mighty miss.
Shaving with an electric razor should take, at least, TWICE as long as a blade.
Slowly pass the razor over your beard in small, concentric circles and you’ll be fine.
Also, if your beard is like mine, don’t let it grow out past 1-2 days. The longer the hair, the more it will lay down or get pushed down and be missed by the razor.
Use a lubricant (Lectric Shave) if you get razor burn.
If you get in-grown hair or razor bumps, finish with a skin treatment containing “salicylates” (aspirin).
