I have the unfortunate combination of heavy, thick facial hair and sensitive skin. Every time I shave there's at least one or two cuts. I've tried all the razors from the single blade Bic™ to the Gillete Fusion™ five blade. I shave with the grain, carefully but I always get cuts.
Does anyone use an electric razor? What are your thoughts?

Do you exfoliate?

My daily regimen:
Wake up, shower with Dr. Bronners eucalyptus soap, Head and Shoulders shampoo, then I exfoliate with Nivea energizing scrub, then while still in the hot shower I apply Barbasol shaving cream and use a Bic™ single blade sensitive razor (it surprisingly produces the least cuts and irritation, simpler is better!) shaving with the grain, slowly using a shower mirror. Then I towel dry and splash on Pinaud Clubman aftershave and get dressed, applying a bit of Brut cologne (it smells almost the same as the Pinaud Clubman, and they harmonize well together), then I go to work. At the end of the day I shower again (no shaving in the evening obviously) and before bed I rub my face with extra-virgin coconut oil as a moisturizer.
I use each Bic razor only twice.

There's nothing you can do about cuts, just make sure you use super strong aftershave. That's my favourite part of shaving.

I use a petrol-powered razor.

There are not many worse experiences than attempting to shave with a cheap electric razor, but maybe the new petrol powered ones work better.
Slightly related, it is a common mistake to press down too hard against your skin. I felt it important to mention this.
