hello all iam on another rant. i have recently found it very difficult to hold a razor in my hand and/or to apply pressure enough to shave. i have never used an electric razor but i think this may be the way forward for me, as i have days when i can not shave and days when i cant even be bothered to shave. can anyone recomend a good electric razor or do i grow a beard.
hpoe everyone is is coping with their pains. i just wish mine would get a little better well chin up all

HELLO I can appreciat your problem, even if I don't share it :shock: I was until, OA came a long a care assistant, and that ment saving men that couldn't manage. Be careful about the make, as some need a degree of presure to give a good shave. It may be worth you while asking an Occupational Therapist if they can recommend one, as they cost a fair bit and a OT must have come across this problem before.

I would recommend the Remington trim and shave,its neat compact and if you can't manage a shave it will at least tidy your stubble up.
Its only battery powered but the foil is great and shaves close.
Good luck0 -
I've gone down the beard route!
I've tried wet shaving and electric shaver and both have been difficult to do moving the razor across my face.
I now use babyliss hair clippers with a 2mm guide to keep it in trim each week. Sometimes I let it grow a little longer in winter. Certainly less hassle than shaving every day.

Wear a beard and be proud of it. Don't be half hearted go for the full set.
Quite some time ago I used to look like ZZ Top and then a few birds tried to move in. So, its short now and gets a swift trim with scissors now and again to keep it in check.
Much easier than messing about with trimmers, etc. It has been researched that men spend 6 years of their life just waving a razor about.
I can think of far more mundane things to do for 6 years.

Hi I understand your problem, I am fortunate that my wife does it for me when I can't manage, she refuses to allow me to grow a beard and I hate electric razors. Why not find someone to help you I know its difficult to ask sometimes, but it is worth it in the end.
