Do Electric Razors Get Dull
I have ready many user reviews and some technical reviews on the Norelco Arcitec and it has brought me to three conclusions: 1) You can’t please everyone but you CAN please most 2) Some of the reviews must have been written by the competition and 3) A little more attention to detail will help some of you understand the product better.
I have been mostly a blade man for about 25 years, having only made a few brief attempts at using an electric. For the past several years, I have been using the Gillette Mach 3 and now the Fusion razors. They are the best blades ever, give a quick close shave and cost so much money to replace ($28.99 msrp for 8 blades), that if I changed them out when I really should (weekly is ideal and almost necessary they go dull so fast), TAG Heuer WAV5111 BA0901 I will have paid for the Norelco Arcitec 1050 plus a little extra, in just one year of use.
...A generation earlier, my mother and her siblings walked for miles, or drove a horse cart, over the mountain to shop and visit.

My grandfather made every stick of their furniture and the very cabin in which they lived. Everyone ate organic food from plants and animals that they, themselves, grew and raised; they would have gone hungry if they didn’t.
They, and we, had fewer “things” but, at least as I remember it through the mists of time, we were happier — often even thrilled — with what we had.
So it is tempting to snicker at pompous, judgmental eco-elitists such as the pretentious clerk in our story.
But this may be a more measured way to look at this generational and cultural divide:
The world didn’t change overnight from the time when my grandfather whittled rocking chairs and raised his own pigs to the time when even people of modest means could select among 230 cable television shows without getting up from their recliners made in China, pick up fully prepared gourmet meals at the store, and talk to their friends not by walking down the street or over the mountain but by running their fingers down some listings on their handheld phones.
Ok so I did a bad bad thing and used a very old very dull razor to shave for my bf's birthday. The bad thing is that it gave me such bad ingrown hairs that I would have preferred to wait until I had the money to go and buy new razors. So my question
