Blade. I've goten some really nasty cuts. I once got a cut an inch long on the outer side of my ankle...that long bone that sticks out from the rest of your leg. It wouldn't stop bleeding(gushing) for a half hour, and I still have a scar now.(This was about two years ago.) :evil:

I use a Mach 3. I used to have some electric thing, that was really not very good. Only wounded myself once with this thing, and that was shaving over the pointy bit of my neck. :P

I use electric, but just because I got an electric for christmas one year. I haven't really thought about it until recently.
Anything but electric shavers give me bumps, so I go with the Braun.

Blade + Electric, Electric for the main job plus blade for the sideburn area or if I have not shaved in one-two weeks

Blade.

Even if I nick that one spot back behind the knee, where those two tendons run. And let's not even think about nicks around the bikini line.

The worst place to nick, however, has to be under the arm. *Yeouch!!*

I find the Mach 3 works quite well. Doesn't catch or cut and leaves my testicles silky smooth.

Electric. My mom got it for me for Christmas a while back. I actually shave more often now. Since I'm so thin, my adam's apple sticks out real bad. So I was always worried I was gonna slit my own throat shaving. You know, slip or something, come in at the wrong angle.

A triple-headed electric. I don't care all that much about my appearance.
Don't hate; appreciate!

I use the Phillishave 5000. Awesome electric shaver. Has a little flip-up moustache/sideburn trimmer too.

Basically, it leaves just enough stubble so that by the end of the day everyone knows that I shave, but still looks decent. And shaving at 14 does have it's benefits (people gaping at me in unbound admiration). Well, only my parents do that, but you get the point. :)

Electric. I just use the trimmer, because I don't like how it feels when I shave to the skin.

Mach 3. I've tried both, and my facial hair grows so fast that I'll look unshaved by afternoon if I use an electric razor. The downside to the blade is that I inevitably cut myself all around the adam's apple and jawline.

When I actually do shave, I use a blade. Electric shavers don't last worth a damn. The charge barely lasts a couple of days, the foils wear out in no time, and they cost so damn much to replace! I think I'll stick with my Gillette Mach III thats been working fine for two years now. Have yet to had to change the head on it.
