I've been using the electric razor for about three years now. I didn't realize I had too much of a problem until I was about 16. Then I waxed for the first time and started using the electric razor after that. It's not that much of a hassle, but I don't sleep over at friend's houses because I have to "fix my face" every morning. Just don't worry about it- your friends will NOT care at all! :) My best friend has helped me through a lot, especially in the last two years. Good luck, and feel free to email me!
