I've been using a electric razor for many years now, would this razor give me as close a shave and be better than a electric razor?

Far closer than an electric razor. I use this razor twice a week and an electric other days, you'll be amazed at how close a shave you'll get.

I have been using an electric razor for 30 years until recently. There is no doubt that the fusion performs better. In my opinion it is faster because I do it in the shower extremely quickly. Also, It gets the curly hairs that lay flat on my neck that were impossible to get with electric. I look way better and shaving this way just makes me feel better. It puts pep in my step. Also, face lotions and after shaves feel so much better after using a regular razor. Also, If I want I can go 2 days between shaves and I still think it's closer than electric after 1 day.

Honestly, I have never used an electric razor so I would not be able to make an appropriate comparison. However, it is the best razor I have ever used. It gives a very close shave. I have a pretty heavy beard. I blades themselves seem to be the same as the previous model razor but the swivel head allows me to get closer under my nose, under my jawline and under my chin. If you were going to try a non-electric razor, I would suggest this model.

Not at all. That's the appeal of the body shaver in my eyes. I also don't think it get as clean of a shave as a razor would. Just fyi

It's good for that..just maneuver carefully. It leaves barely visible stubble but it's short & smooth enough that, considering this is an electric *trimmer* and you don't have to break out the shaving cream and an actual scary blade, it's very close 2nd place, unless you need to be totally bald.

The shave gets better over time. It's a very comfortable and effective shaver.

It is the best razor I have found for my face but it does shave close. Don't know if it would irritate your underarms but using it as a wet shaver would probably prevent that. If you can afford it I would go for it.

This is a very important question as it relates to worth of this razor. The best I can answer you is that it certainly does as good as multi-blade razors and if you prep correctly it does a much better job.

This would be an excellent purchase. I use it daily and get a very close shave. It is easy to clean, just open it and run it under hot water. This razor is heavier than a plastic razor but feels secure and comfortable in the hand.

Electric razors in general are not good for cutting really really close the skin, but I have not had any unusual trouble with the AT810 on my neck.

It works ok. The shave is not as close as the better Braun models. It is a wet/dry model , so it has versatility.

Not necessarily fast in comparison to a full size Braun. But, it will give a good close shave, just takes a little longer, even on the neck - it'scomfortable, no rash.

To me it is just a better starting razor. If you want other ideas check out the art of shaving.

No, not like a true razor. I think it can get very close but not skin smooth. It is a great clipper. I highly recommend it.

I don't think it will be a problem. In fact, I think you will like it better than the multiblade razors. The blades are cheaper and I feel the shave is better. Also, the cleaning during shaving is easier. Slightly loosen the razor blade, rinse off, snug up the blade again and continue with a easily cleaned edge.

It is an excellent razor. You might want to look at somme Youtube videos on wet shaving. It takes longer than the Gillette 5 blade razors, but done right you will not have ingrown hairs, and will get a close shave. The most important factor is using a good shaving soap - I use a brush and bowl to work up a good lather, and I use Derby blades which are not too sharp but work well. You might buy a sampler pack from Amazon and find which blades work for you. Don't be put off by the information. I will never go back to Gillette/Shick, etc razors. 100 blades costs me $10, shaving soap is cheap and I get a great shave each morning with a small cut a rarity.

I specifically bought this to shave my legs with, and it gives me the closest shave I ever had. It woks much better than any ladies razor I have used.

It would work but will not shave as close as a razor in my opinion, so keep that in mind.

I have found the razor to give a wonderfully close shave but be sure to flush blade when you are shaving and after finishing. Because the blades are so close they seem to retain hair that once hard and in place can make the next shave rough. If you do flush completely they last as long or longer than two blade razors and many times closer than any electric I have ever used!
