Controversy regarding the electric shaving machine over the traditional razor is a raging one. Even in the fast age of today, shaving is one of the few rare fields where men continue to prefer the tried and tested methods over the new innovations of technology. Although much of this goes to a traditionally handed down ritualistic practice, ignorance about how a shaving machine works is also a reason. Usually, it is believed that a traditional razor is better for daily shave, but an electric shaving machine is good for the occasional grooming purpose. The choice is yours, but it is always good to make an informed choice.
To start with, an electric shaver does not require you to apply shaving cream or foam. A moist beard is enough for the blades to work. Typically, a shaving machine has a rotating blade that is covered by a safety gadget. It runs on electricity, usually a DC device, and there are battery back-ups. So you don't have to stop your shave mid-way in case of power-cuts. Holding the machine close to your face, it cuts close to the facial hair, thus giving you a close shave. Each shaving machine comes with a set of variable blades, so you can use it for a close shave or to give yourself designer stubble.
An electric razor is a safe device. There are no chances of cuts, since the safety device stops the blade to come in direct contact with your skin at any time. Even if you do not want to use it daily, it is convenient at times when you are in hurry or at times when you need a close trim. The best option is to use razors and electric shavers alternatively, because it is generally believed that continuous and daily use of the electric shaving machine gives you a very hard hair.
