There are lots of shaving tools: electric shavers, straight razors, shavettes with replaceable blades, DE razors, SE razors, disposable razors, or cartridge razors with multiple blades. Use whatever tools you have at hand that will allow you to get the best, most comfortable shave.
I shaved for much of my working career with an electric shaver, but never got a close shave. I still have one and will use it whenever I am in a hurry and I do not need to get a close shave.
I used cartridge razors for many years, especially when I was traveling frequently for business and needed something that was acceptable in carry-on luggage. While I could get a close shave, I usually got skin irritation.
After I retired, I was shaving for me rather than for coworkers and clients. I wanted to get a close shave without irritation. That is why I started traditional wet shaving. It took me over five years of research and experimentation before I could ever achieve the kind of shave I was looking for. Now I have a collection of straight razors, DE razors, and SE razors and rarely use an electric shaver or cartridge razor, but I can and do pull them out upon occasion when I do not have time for a proper shave. Because I spent so much time in research and experimentation, I hope I can be of benefit to others so it won't take them nearly as long to get the shave they desire.
