Question of the Day: Do You Prefer an Electric or Manual Shaver?

Every other day it seems like a new manual razor is hitting the market advertising "the closest shave ever" by throwing in extra blades or lubed comfort strips.

As I was shaving my rugged man-stubble baby smooth this morning, I pondered this question: With all of the choices out there, what kind of shaver do you use? More »
