Are we just settling for the bare minimum because there’s no better option?

For men who like to be clean shaven {or are nudged to do so by their girlfriends and wives ;)}, have you just made peace with the razor burns, cuts and irritation that come along with razors?

Either you’ve really mastered the art of shaving or you haven’t found a better alternative. I know I’ve seen my dad struggle with burns, red skin patches and just a harder layer of skin near the areas on his face where he uses a razor.

I’m just curious to know some things:

  1. Why are you still using razors if it brings along the aforementioned problems?
  2. Have you seen or considered electric shavers as an alternative? If yes, what is holding you back from trying them?
