Bluntness

I've also been told I have little tact, so if this offends you simply ride on.

Braun vs the Fusion vibrator

I've been using a Braun shaver (pronounced brown) for some time now.  I get a good shave, however,


it seems to take forever to shave my face, and I will be the first to admit that my beard is not heavy.  Prior to the Braun I had always used a razor to clean the stubble from my cheeks and chin so I decided to give the blades a try.  The first thing I noticed was how expensive razors and their blades could be, up to 1/3 the cost of a new Braun.  Of course, I could have gone with one of the disposable varieties but there's really not that much difference between those and a good old fashion steak knife.  After wasting about 5 minutes looking over the various razors I selected a Gillette Fusion Power, not so much


because I thought it might be the best deal for my money but because the packaging and the razor were orange (I am a loyal Home Depot associate).  The little battery included makes the razor vibrate much like a shaver... hhmm.  Basically you are holding a vibrator with razor blades attached at one end.  Does it really improve the razor's shaving capabilities?  I don't think so.  It feels a little awkward holding it because it is... vibrating so I don't turn it on.  This means I could have bought a less expensive razor.  Still, it is orange.
