I have a full beard, but the parts I do shave (my cheeks and neck) I shave with a razor.

When I get my beard trimmed, I'll usually get the barber to do it. They use a combination of scissors and clippers.

I use an electric shaver. In Judaism using a razor would be cutting the corners of one’s face, a violation of a commandment. But clipping of the beard with a scissor like technique doesn’t cut your face.

Straight razors for the most part. I just like to think that my wife enjoys cutting at my face with a razor. :D

I use razors. I'm not sure I trust mechanical blades on my skin.

I used to use razors, but it was the opposite way for me: they irritated my skin, whereas electric shavers were far more comfortable (at the expense of not shaving as efficiently as a razor).

Moving an electric shaver the wrong way can give you a nice, bloody cut, though. That's also from experience. :D
