It's been over a year and a half since I purchased my electric shaver, the Panasonic ES8103S Arc3 Men's Electric Shaver Wet/Dry with Nanotech Blades. It was getting dull and I was about to purchase another shaver. As you are aware, I have facial hair similar to a wolf and it grows at a monstrous rate, like all Asians. Instead of having five o'clock shadow, you could probably call mine, three day shadow. Being lazy and not having had someone to teach me razor shaving techniques (and being scared of cutting myself), I have always used electric shavers.
