I have had some good experiences with norelco spectra,
done properly, and using a good electric razor which is well maintained, it can give you a phenomenal shave.
most people do not maintain their electric shavers properly and dont use them properly which gives subpar results.
electric razor manufacturers claim that with electric razor u can get a shave closer than with a wet shave because it cuts hair ‘under’ the skin.
here is a good article on electric shaving
I dont use electric shaver except for touch ups, because i like wet shaves, its a very zen experience, and i think that wet shave actually is faster than an electric shave , the ratio of time:results is better for wet shaves for me.
