Need advice on electric razor

[Vansmack]

As the title suggests I need some advice before I purchase an electric razor. I am tired of replacing old fashioned razor blades after 2 shaves - i am practically a wolfman... 5 o'clock shadow hits me at noon.

The basic criteria I am hoping to satisfy is the following:

waterproof - i still want to shave in the shower
cordless - see above
easily cleaned - preferably something that can just be rinsed under the sink and sprayed with some type of disinfectant.

If anyone has any experiance, good or bad, please let me know.

I hate shaving and once looked at electric razors on Consumer Reports. Basically, I discovered that no electric razor can come close to the good old razors and shaving cream.

thanks ken, and troutman, i too hate shaving, but if I dont replace the razor blade everyother shave I get serious knicks while shaving. The blades get dull so fast because I have very thick/dense facial hair.

My electric razor is amazing. You can combine 2 essential parts of your morning into one easy step. ****ting and shaving can now be done at the same time!!

I'm with Peter on this, it's a big timesaver.

As a fellow member of the 5 O'clock shadow at noon team, I'd go with a Philishave. As mentioned in the thread Ken posted, the guys at "The Shaver Shop" are in my view shaving gurus and they recommended I stick with Philishave razors. Don't know what their view on the shower shavers is, but if you live in town you might want to visit them.

I agree. The old fashioned shaver CUTS your hair off, an electric shaver TEARS it off.

I think I will stop there on my way home from work tonight. Thanks for the advice.
