   My current barber has an electric that easily picks the hairs my own   
   electric doesn't pick, and is probably cheaper :-(   
      
   Mine is a Braun S6, to be used with foam. It doesn't pick 2 days old   
   hair, or very thin hairs. I can't use blades, they shave also tiny   
   invisible plimps and is tiring to tend to the bloody result.   
      
   I also have a rotative electric shaver (Remington), use dry, but leaves   
   my face red and scorched.   
      
   I had no idea that electrics could be used with foam till my late   
   Canadian cousin bought one here on his last visit.
