I've baught a few electric's in my life, and I am just completely disapointed with them. They just don't shave close enough, and theres always too much to do (cleaning, etc). I'm back to my Gillette Fusion Power, and it does one hell of a job.

Other then that, I really love old fashioned shaves at a barber. That's the ultimate shave.

electric shave only because my skin is so sensitive. I can live with a 5 o'clock shadow by noon. When I need a close shave I will go to the barbershop and get an old fashioned shave (I don't dare do it myself!) or rub some vaseline in my face and coat it with shaving cream and use a decent razor such as the Fusion Power. (the vaseline trick allows me to shave against the grain with the upmost comfort and leaves my face feeling soft & smooth.)

Electric razors mess my face up - too sensitive to them and leaves little spots/dimples/whatever they're called.

Can't be doing with fusions and quattros etc - too expennsive and the number of blades just clog up after 1 or 2 shaves.

Invested in a cut throat (like the barbers use), and after about a week of looking like Freddy Kruger had scratched my face up, I dare not use anything apart from that.

Its fast (done shaving <5mins), very precise, and best of all a heck of a lot cheaper then fusions etc.

And you can't get closer then you can with a cut throat

Gillette Mach 3 Turbo here.

Same here, I love it. People always ask me if I shave with clippers because of the preciseness of the mustache/beard angles and curves. They never believe when i say i used a razor.

though i wish the blades weren't so expensive.

    • too bad the "backend" June 2026 ESD files are still at build 26200.8653 and not at the correct build 26200.8655 release. I'll avoid using the MCT for several weeks until late July 2026
    • Qualcomm's new Snapdragon Reality Elite chip brings on-device AI to Android XR devices by Pradeep Viswanathan Qualcomm has been delivering dedicated SoCs for mixed reality and spatial computing devices for several years. The journey started with the Snapdragon XR1, followed by the Snapdragon XR2 in 2019, the Snapdragon XR2 Gen 2 in September 2023, and finally the Snapdragon XR2+ Gen 2 in 2024. Today, Qualcomm announced a major upgrade with the new Snapdragon Reality Elite Platform, which targets premium mixed reality and spatial computing devices. OEMs can use this SoC to power both all-in-one video-see-through headsets and lightweight, tethered optical-see-through glasses. Qualcomm highlighted that the Snapdragon Reality Elite will power the next wave of Android XR devices coming later this year. These wearables will offer better visuals, improved power efficiency, and deeper on-device AI integration compared to the previous generation. The Snapdragon Reality Elite can deliver up to 48 TOPS of AI performance, allowing large language models and large vision models to run directly on the device for the first time. In addition to enabling new spatial AI experiences, these new AI capabilities will improve head and hand tracking, as well as see-through features. On the performance side, the Snapdragon Reality Elite offers up to 60% higher GPU performance, up to 30% higher CPU performance, and up to 160% higher NPU performance compared to the previous generation. The platform supports visuals of up to 4.4K per eye at 90 frames per second for sharper images and smoother motion. Qualcomm is also claiming significant efficiency improvements. The Snapdragon Reality Elite can offer up to 20% longer battery life under the same workload. More importantly, the chipset can run up to 12 degrees Celsius cooler under load, making headsets more comfortable for users to wear for longer periods. The platform also includes improvements to video see-through, featuring lower latency and better image quality. Qualcomm states that its EVA hardware block helps accelerate demanding computer vision workloads, improving how digital content blends with the real world.
    • Umm... GitHub continues to use AWS. That's the story, that's the headline. There's no "new" news here. GitHub continues to require additional capacity beyond the originally-planned Azure allocations. There's nothing special about this; nothing noteworthy. They're still using AWS' infra until the cutover is complete.
