(1) what exactly is wet shaving?
is it a drug store razor + shave soap? or do you need a straight edge/safety razor?
Currently, I only shave once a week. I trim with a electric razor so my beard is stub length. Than I use a liquid electric pre-shave and very little shaving cream and use a top of the line rotatory electric razor for 90% of my beard. After, I use normal amount of shaving cream and gillette fusion razor for sensitive areas (high cheek/under eye and under neck) and side burns (because a rotatory isnt for side burns). So have I been wet shaving or dry shaving?
(2) Whats best for skin?
I dont necessary want to ditch my electric razor because I paid $300 for it a month ago, plus I think it works great for 90% of my beard and is easier to use.
I dont want to use only gillette fusion razors because the blades are expensive (have thick hair, so they barely last) and for 90% of my beard I think my electric razor does just as good as a job and is a lot easier.
But, how does your safety razors/straight edge razors compare to gillette fusion? Gillette tries to market it self and say they have comfort strips and what not, but from what I read nothing beats your old school razors.
Basically, should I stick to my electric razor for 90% of my beard and gillette fusion for the sensitive areas OR stick to my electric razor for 90% of my beard and use a safety/straight edge razor for the sensitive areas? OR just use a safety/straight edge razor for everything?
