I've made the switch back to plain old razors - and I couldn't imagine going back to electric

Ditto. I always had the Homer Simpson 5 o'clock shadow from electric razors, but used Norelcos for years. They are good, but like many point out in this whole thread, your beard type has lots to do with the final shave results. When I went totally bald, I switched to Gillette Mach 3 and haven't looked back. And those shaving cream warmers by Conair, pretty darn cool, (or would that be warm?) in the mornings!
