I used one about 10 years ago (a remington) and got fed up with it rather quickly because it was uncomfortable to use. The fast moving cutting blades made the protective foil hot and this caused an unpleasant sensation on the face, causing irritation.
Have shavers progressed since then? are they really a viable alternative to wet shaving?
Be glad to get your opinions.

Women like to watch men shave. It's very seXy, especially in the morning.

Electric shaver not sexy. Blade extremely sexy.

I refuse to shave because it costs money and time and think beardless ones are just fashion victims, slave to the marketing whims of the major companies.
If you spend 5 minutes every day shaving it takes 35 mins per week. Compared with a 5 minute beard trim each week you lose 30 minutes per week which is 26 Hours per year. So those of us who don't shave have an extra day each year!
... or GF.
I didn't know you could splash water that far from the sink.
That, and "Are you done yet? I need the %$#@!& sink!" Clearly, some education is needed. I'm sure it's not the PERSON doing the shaving who determines how sexy shaving is... It IS just the PROCESS, right?

Three of us live under one roof. If we had another half person living here we could use all the bathrooms at once and still have a spare sink. ;)
The downside, of course, is that somebody has to clean all those bathrooms.

See, that was the point of my post; that's exactly what my GF says -- so while I like that using the electric is easier and faster, I'm not dumb enough to use it when she's around!
So thanks to both HawkGirl and Marcia for confirming that she's not a deviant. Well, at least not regarding this shaving thing.
I'd be interested to watch someone shave with a straight razor, but that might be more of an auto-racing type "what happens if he screws up" kinda sick-fascination thing.

One more thing - don't use the electric one while she's trying to sleep. That noise has got to be one of the world's most annoying sounds.
Using an electric shaver while she's trying to sleep in will get you in the doghouse faster than splashing water everywhere or hogging the sink.

Straight razor... cancel-all-other-business-for-the-morning-sexy.
I happen to think that when you kiss a girl and have her cringe in pain because of your unshaved skin..well, it's not a very good start to a romantic evening
Former GF claimed that even my recently shaved skin caused more irritation than when I keep a neatly groomed beard and moustache.
Dante's Top 10 Reasons To Grow A Beard
1Daniel McNeill claims in his book "The Face: A Guided Tour" that in earlier times bearded men prospered because "they could negotiate better and utter more credible political lies, and thereby garner more wealth, status and wives".

Lawman, we have far more sinks than house inhabitants. It just happens to be HER sink that I use to shave. Or at least the one she considers HER sink. ;)

Haha.
Our masterbath has two sinks separated by the ubiquitous garden tub (which never gets used)*. One sink is taller than the other and only has lights and mirror on one wall. Two walls on the shorter one have mirrors and lights. Shorter one also has a vanity. The superior spatial conceptualization of my male brain immediately kicked in and recognized which sink was hers. It was never an issue.**

*I've threated to rip it out but she keeps promising to use it. :(
**For those who haven't figured it out, hers is the one with the vanity. :)
