Yup - I've done double-ended safety razors, I've tried the Gillette and Harry's disposable ones, but in 30+ years of shaving what I keep coming back to is Braun electric razors. So far, they're the only option I've found that doesn't leave me with razor burn.

Currently using a ten-year-old Braun Series 7. I can get away with infrequent shaves (~3x a week) since my beard doesn't grow very quickly, so I replace the foil and cutter heads every 2-3 years. It's not as cheap as a double-ended, but for me, it's a better shave, worth the cost, and cheaper/less waste than disposables.

If I upgrade anytime soon, it will probably be to something that's designed to be used in the shower - I do miss a nice shaving cream sometimes, and unless I have a bottle of 'Lectric Shave handy, I don't usually like to shave right after showering.
