I remember being a kid and excited about having to shave. Guess I got what I wanted. I hate shaving and try to do it as little as possible. Since I must shave I use the triple razors. They seem to be much better at not getting clogged full of hair. I've never used an electric razor that worked well. They all require me to use them 2X a day since they won't cut when my hair is thicker which only takes 24hrs. They also get dull quickly. I use edge gel, have for years. As far as type of edge gel, I do not notice any difference so I just get any type, as long as it is edge gel.
