I do this too
then wet shave as I have not managed to buy a decent electric that is not a waste of money after a week. My beard appears quite tough.

I am led to believe that the new phillips ones are quite good.
and I always remember my dad swearing by his ( and they must have got much better ) I used to have a double foil Remington that was not too bad but as it got older I could not get foils ( which I go through quickly ) I then had a Braun which was not bad for that quick shave when you have no time but again, replacing foils just pissed me off so i became a devotee of using clippers for everyday and wetshaving if she insisted.
She just bought me new clippers ( or gentlemens grooming set as they call it ) which considering it was dirt cheap is excellent. |Cordless rechargeable, washable with titanium blades. Remington HC-600. That I can certainly recommend to anyone here.

Edit:/ there is an art to a proper wet-shave and you really should use luke-warm water and a gel then rinse with cold water. The trouble is it takes so bloody long to do it properly ( which means twice ) it is not always feasible. Plus with me I still get an horrendous rash around my neck no matter how careful I am or new my blades are. Also you can keep your fancy triple blade systems that cost a fortune and only last me 2 shsves. I have an old fashioned wilkinson sword that takes the standard double edged razor blade. Fantastic piece of kit and will never be bettered.

try using savlon instead of fancy after shave balm
it's the only thing i've used for donkies years,
and i never get any razor burn.

Yeah
I do that too. I like to think it makes me look rugged and mysterious, in reality I just look homeless and unemployable.

I don't like being clean shaven, it feels odd.
I also grudge paying silly prices for razorblades. Disposable ones seem to bring me out in a rash
