How do you shave?

I’ve been shaving for about five years, and in that time I’ve always been using an electric razor. I’m not sure why, but that was the first way that I learned to shave, and I’d never bothered to try a different tool - until 10 minutes ago, when I shaved with a cartridge razor for the first time.
Oh, my, word. It’s like magic - as if I’m just wiping the hairs off my face. I don’t think I’ll ever go back now, this shave was easier, less messy, and closer, plus since I can easily see where I’ve already been and what I have left to do because of the shaving foam I don’t accidentally miss a patch.
Now I’m wondering, how do other Tilderinos shave, and what has your experience been with different types of razor?
I have a lot of hopes, most of them tempered.
I’d love to see a radical shift in this country towards social and economic equality. Labour doesn’t seem to be offering this: anything that could be seen as “controversial” (I.e. trans rights) they seem unwilling to push for, and any chance of actually taxing the wealthy in this country seems off the table.
But, it does seem like they intend to enact some policies which will uncontroversially improve the country. Fixing the NHS, addressing the climate crisis, improving workers rights: I hope this will happen, and I hope that they will go far enough.
They’ve made a big fuss about economic growth. I would like to see the economy turn around, but it’s not clear how the government can create growth without actually stimulating the economy by spending more - and of course they can only realistically spend more by taxing more.
On the EU, it’s pretty clear that we won’t be rejoining it any time soon, certainly not in this parliament. Labour have also said they won’t rejoin the single market or customs union, and to be honest the EU probably wouldn’t have us if we asked. But I hope that we can have a more positive trade relationship with our European friends, and maybe, in the long term, seek to heal the rift between us and move towards a closer relationship involving free trade, free movement etc.
