Add me to the list of people who get razor burn when using an electric razor. I've tried 2-3 different kinds over my shaving career and each has done the same thing.
I now use a Mach 3 razor with Nivea For Men shaving cream. I've found this to be the best combination for me. Don't under-estimate the impact of the shaving cream when using a straight razor.. I've had all sorts of different results using different creams with the same razor.
I also shave before my shower. I splash warm-to-hot water on my face for a while before shaving, apply the cream, shave, then hop in a nice warm shower. This has seemed to help my face out as well, as it's never as irritated as if I shave without showering...
Food for thought, if nothing else.
