is there advantage of using electric razor compare to the plain razor?

plain razor requires shaving cream which is a prohibit item for transport by plane. I am wondering if it is necessary to switch over to electric razor.

Somewhere I heard that extended use of electric razors increases the risk of developing skin cancer.

I only shave twice a week (injun blood keeps down the facial hair growth), so using a plain razor is no big chore. 10 strokes and I am done.

If I had my druthers, I'd like to learn to straight razor shave. I just haven't worked up the gumption quite yet for that.

I'm not aware of any "injun blood", but I only shave 2 or 3 times a week too. I don't have any love for electric razors, still using my 20 year old Trac 2.

what the heck is "injun blood? I have to shave everyday since I can't tolerate any whiskers. I don't want to look like a hoodlum that has 5 O'clock shadow.

what's wrong with being a hoodlum?

I shaved with Razors (names Shick Tracer and those highly advertised gadgets).

Went to Electric Shaver. Ahh..convenient. However, after 7 years, my ears are messed up. And sadly, I'll have to say its because of the electric razor. They are so sensitive now that when I use it just to trim the hairline (near my neck), I feel I'm going to go crazy from the sound of the electric razor.

Since I hated shaving, I have learned to love it. I now shave with 92cent shaving soap from Walgreens, and a double edge razor. First couple times, I nicked myself. Now, I enjoy it. And i through on some aftershave. I shave every other day and sometimes daily.

You can't buy the injun blood anymore. Just shave or look like a hoodlum. I'm with Halcon.....what's wrong with that?

One more excuse for me to not shave

well, I wouldn't be able to get a date with any ladies if I look like a hoodlum.

you might be surprised. an air of mystery and edginess.
