I use a Gillette Fusion Proglide, Gillette razors seem to be the only kind that are good enough to cut through my insanely thick and coarse hairs.

I would've spent more than that on disposable razors and gels by now.

I buy four razors a year. Costs me $20 a year. These new ones last forever, even on my heavy beard.

Electric to remove the rough part (under the chin) and avoid crapping up the blades, then Mach 3 to have it clean for a day or two. Monday mornings, once a week, because I'm that lazy. It does itch a little, no noticeable redness, quickly goes away. Used to be a way bigger problem with some noname double-edge, had some bad cuts, too.

I use Gilette Fusion ProGlide, the battery-operated one.

Been using it since the orange one (now blue since 2010) in 2005. No complaints yet.

@Op: You should allow multiple multiple options for those of us that use both. I use the Gillette Power Fusion blade razor on Sunday night and touch up using an electric shaver during the week.

My issue with electric is it doesn't get close enough which can mean stubble tugs on my collar which in turns ends up creating a irritable rash. No one else find this?

I always get rashes on my neck from my Gillette vs. my electric shaver.

I have for quite a few years now used Double Edge blades, as I only shave every 2-4 weeks. I have recently got a Gillette Hydro 5 (freebie ), and it is brilliant as long as I don't leave it too long to shave. As I shave only every couple of weeks at most, DE blades only cost me about £2 per year, but give me razor burn.

change blades? get less aggressive shaver?

When using Double Edge, I only use them once - I think it's more to do with the time between shaves.

I also have an electric shaver with moisturiser built in, but that is the same, because I have real bad razor burn and cannot shave too often.

But what does everyone use to shave their nether regions?

Electric clippers on a #1 guard FTW

Carts. Quick and easy. I don't need shaving to become a hobby.

Plenty of posers went out and bought cut throats after watching Skyfall, apparently.

I use a Fusion, fortunately I don't shave but maybe once a week. Few friends are really into the double edge but I've yet to pull the trigger on one.

[HighwayGlider]

Gillette Blue 2 (disposable) works fine for me and is cheap.

[David085]

I use the Gilette Fusion Power that I got for free during a Promotion the Blue one.

Buy your cartidges at CostCo - massive savings. But as someone said before, Hydro5 are really nice to shave with.

Alternate between DE safety razor and a Fusion; Fusion is for mid week when I'm in a rush to get to work and DE is for weekends or if I shave the night before. DE is far superior shave; it's three days before I need to shave again if done properly, whereas fusion means I need to shave daily.
