I've shaved with a blade since I've been shaving. I had an electric razor and would use it maybe once in a great while. But it seems like being retired, the need to shave each morning isn't there. Plus the beard isn't as thick as it used to be. When you let it grow for a few days or more, a blade can be rough. I got rid of my electric razor in the downsizing. Now I'm wondering if I should get a new one that I would be more likely to use when I'm too lazy to take the time to lather up and use a blade.
