Up till a couple of years ago I had a full beard, but I had to cut the sides off so the skin cancer doctor could get to it. Any shaving I had to, or wanted to do I did with a disposable razor. So that covers the last 50 years or so. Then just recently I decided to try an electric shaver again. I did have one in my 20s. The only brand name I knew was Remington so I bought one of those. Being pretty lazy, I only shaved every 2-3 days with a razor but I find that doesn't work with the electric shaver. So now, if I forget or just am too lazy to shave for 2- 3 days, it's back to the blade and then the electric until I get lazy again. Doesn't really seem to have been worth it.
