    Thanks my friend. :) He's still holding up but he's not in good shape.

    I just got back from vacation and it was a DE razor all the way. I still have my old Braun electric and it never crossed my mind to take it. Simpler - electric. Better - manual.

    Many years ago (during the 80's), when I was traveling a lot, I thought an electric would be easier than carrying my brush and soap around. I didn't like it and the first thing I'd do when I got home was give myself a proper shave. I tried it again for a year when traveling in the early 2000's with a high-end electric -- same result. Even the best electric is a lousy, irritating shave and they're really impossible shaving my neck.

    I tried several electric razors over the years and they always felt like they were ripping the hair out of my face.

    My Neuropathy drove me back to carts, I dread the day it might drive me back to electrics. Never got a decent shave from either the buzz-bomb foil screen types or the weed-whacker rotaries and they both caused a lot of irritation.

    I just met a guy today (in his 80's) who used this as his -preferred- razor for years. Now he shaves with a sneaker because of Uncle Arthur.

    Thanks my friend.

    His diagnosis has had a devastating effect on myself as well as the rest of our family. I can't begin to explain it.
