That's where an old fashioned straight razor kicks butt. It doesn't have that continuous clogging problem nor does it have a limit as to how much it can cut at once.
My skin is so sensitive, though, that I only use an electric razor. I'm very tempted to try a straight razor, though. But with kids in the house they are pretty dangerous to have around. But it would be nice to have that and an old fashioned shaving creme brush set.
I use the nice Gilette razors.
Let me shave you some money....
Ever heard of Dollar Shave Club? Its pretty cheap, but once again we have a middle man. Dollar Shave Club buys DORCO razors and then ships them to you at a regular interval.
You can buy the same exact razors directly from the DORCO website or even Amazon
For $20 you can get a premium razor ( comparable to gillette fusion) and 10 blades

Yeah, it's not a bad deal buying it yourself. I honestly just like the idea of not having to remember to order more heads.

I'm lazy like that.

Buy in bulk at Costco.

The thing is that $20 would probably last you a year. I shave daily and use a cartridge for about a month. With proper care and maintenance to your blades, they last alot longer than advertised.

I'm seriously considering buying a safety razor. I haven't found a multi-bladed razor that doesn't give me razor burn... and the electrics would never shave close enough. I've tried different gels, creams, etc... even after shave and nothing seems to work right. I've heard straight or safety razors don't necessarily have that issue.

Cheaper than DORCO?
Who knows, I don't use razors.

I hate electrics. It seems like the more expensive they are, the shittier they get (for me at least). The multi-bladed razors work for me if I use the right Shaving Gel.

I've had great luck with a wired Wahl.

I think everyone is a little different. They just don't get close enough for me.

That's what makes them so perfect for me. Any closer and I get razor burn it's nice to have some stubble too.

Yup, that's why I like them. The no razor burn, not the stubble. But I don't really mind the stubble either.

I also shave my entire head, so I want a razor that can take off a lot of hair really quickly.
-
They would definitely work really well for that.

Stubble drives me nuts...electrics are also too slow!

Ever used a wired Wahl? I can shave my entire head no matter what the hair length is in just minutes.
