8 June

I started shaving about 40 years ago. I began with an electric, an old one of dad’s. Then living in Sydney with the humidity made that frustrating, it tended to cause skin rash. I switched to a blade and have been using that method for maybe 30-35 years. We’re having the bathroom renovated so that’s now tricky for a few weeks. So I went out and bought the cheapest electric I could find that was still half-decent, a Philips 3000 series. Less than $100. It’s a ‘wet and dry’, electrics of course now can be used for wet shaving too, or even in the shower. I reckon I may never go back to a blade. These new electrics are phenomenal. What do others use?
