Shaving, Wet shave vs electric

I used to use my dads 1950's gillette which takes double edge blades. Kept massacring my face when in a rush. Plus any soapy type substance dries out skin, I tried oils which were ok but they made an awful gunky mess of hairs that stuck to everything.

I won't deny it takes quite a bit of practice, especially to pull off a decent 3-pass shave in a hurry. I'm happy I went through 6 months of sub-par attempts and product trials (blades mainly) before it all fell into place.

I use a little bit of almond oil on damp skin to remain gorgeously youthful looking.
