I am a big fan of the Norelco's, and I have pretty much tried all the others as well. I cant go more than 2 days if using the Norelco, but I get a closer shave with it than even a blade. I can't say I have ever gotten any razor burn or irritation from an electric, although your face does need to get used to it. I still really like the original Mach III razors for when things gets longer, and shaving in the shower makes a world of difference too.
