I used the top of the line Gillette multi-blade razors for years. My last one was a Gillette Fusion power with 5 blades. Power simply means that a battery causes it to vibrate while you shave. I used Edge gel for sensitive skin, and I got good to great shaves using relatively new blades. The blades were very expensive, and I still got nicks and raw spots pretty frequently.
I got a Norelco Soft Touch 6700 electric razor with three rotating blades for Christmas. It runs on a rechargeable battery and can be used with shaving cream, dry, in the shower, etc. I'm still experimenting with pressure and methods, but it gives a good to great shave. I'm currently using Williams Electric Shave as a pre-shave, but I've also tried wet and dry. I'm finding that less pressure still gives a good shave without as much irritation. It is recommended that you buy new blades once a year. I don't have a final verdict yet, but I think that I'm going to like the new Norelco and save considerable money. You just run the heads under hot water to clean it when you finish your shave.
