Re: Dull Razors

[Charley Myles <cmyles@GORDIAN.PHYS.TTU.EDU>]

Why not abandon blades and use an electric razor? It doesn't wear out
(very often). I've used my Norelco 3085 XL for 4 years without a single
problem. The shaves are close and I shave after merely washing my face. No
soap or shaving cream to worry about. Also, I NEVER cut myself!
