Don't be mean. I promise to do my best to judge that fairly.

That mentality is why I use a safety razor. Buy one and you'll only spend a few dollars a decade on shaving blades and have a better shave. A lot of things in life are useless fluff that we only do because companies want us to do it since it's profitable.
I use a trimmer now, never really cared for a close shave and I often leave it for a couple of weeks. I found a razor just got clogged up too much between the blades.
Annoyingly the trimmer I have seems to vary in power, the motor charges speeds a lot during use. I think it might be a poor connection on the AA batteries, surface might have tarnished. Did think of soldering some wires on and connecting it to an extra battery, better connection and higher voltage. Overclock shaving!
i bought for cheap one pluggable razor much more powerful than those with batteries ... also you have to oil the blades and clean them regularly.
I do oil and clean it, I live in the UK so we don't normally have sockets in bathrooms. Getting one of those special ones installed would probably cost quite a bit.
