Shaving (a rant)
Dear Lazyweb,

I wish my facial hair would go away. Recommend/disrecommend an electric shaver for me? I've never had much success with wet/manual shaving without cutting myself, by which I mean I think the number of times I've achieved a good, blood-free result can be counted on one hand. I realise this may be down to matters of technique, but I have a fundamental problem with the method itself: it's always going to require some degree of due care and attention to avoid injury; this does not sit well with my usual weary state first thing in the morning or last thing at night. As long as my face is going to keep doing what it's doing, my ideal device, in rough order of priority, is one I can operate perfectly safely (including considerations such as ingrowing hairs, something I've been warned foil shavers can cause; is there any truth to this?) and effectively, with zero effort/time, self-cleaning; replacement parts should be cheap and needed approximately never. My current device, a Remington R330, falls woefully short of this. The blades now need replacing, but even when new, its effectiveness has never been exactly stellar. It's never rendered my face as smooth as I'd like, no matter how many times I go over it. I'm happy to buy one of the nearly-200-quid ones if someone'll tell me it'll work that much better and have sensibly-priced replacement blades which will still be available in N years' time.
