Oh blood everywhere.
DS has used an electric shaver since he was 13. I got him a wet shaver for his 16th birthday and planned to supervise give him Wingdads useful guide. Unbeknown to me he dashed up to the bathroom and just got stuck in.
Literally.
He now has the traditional scraps of cotton wool all over his face and plasters on the two rather deep cuts he made before he realised you don't actually have to press on hard. Wink

Oh bless :)
At least he's having a go. We bought our 16 yr old a wet shaver at Christmas and he had his first proper shave that morning!!! (Well if you can call removing his "one hair and a nit" a shave!! :o) He too had a little square of tissue stuck to his chin so I guess they all do it!! xx

Which razor?

Mine use the horrifically expensive Gillette ones and have never cut themselves.

It's a Gillette, cost about £10 I think. I suspect you have to press on quite hard with an electric shaver and he just did the same with the wet one.
He says he now knows how to use it. It does give him a smoother shave I have to admit.
