I've tried to convert to electric but it just does such a shitty job on my neck. I have to go over spots so much I eventually get electric burn and that's even worse than razor burn.
My secret is this, before I even put on shaving cream I put a layer of vitamin E gel on my face, that really helps out a lot. Then I only use one kind of shaving cream and I'm telling you this stuff is great!

It's a bit pricey for shaving cream but it's really worth it. I highly recommend it. Wal-mart and Target usually carries it too.
