If you find yourself pushing down hard to achieve the perfect shave, you either have a dull blade or are poorly made one. A good razor should allow a gentle stroke without the need of pressing the blade into your face. Whether it is a single or triple layered blade, the only thing that matters is preference. Do you like how the razor feels and how close the shave is?
Choosing between an electric or manual razor is entirely up to you. Electric razors do not require shaving cream or a wet surface, but don't always give an accurate or close shave. There are pros and cons to using certain razors, whether electric or manual. Fortunately, you need not restrict yourself to one type of razor. You can interchange using a manual or electric razor if necessary.
