Can you cut yourself with an electric razor? If you can is it easier to be cut by a regular razor?

It is very very hard to cut yourself with an Electric razor, it is more of a problem people cutting themselves with regular razors...

You can be cut by an electric razor - I've done it myself - but it is much easier to be cut by a blade razor. Usually a cut by an electric razor will be very small - a cut by a blade razor can be more substantial and bleed profusely. From my personal experience, I have found that the cheap disposable razors are more likely to cut you than better quality ones. It helps to use a good lubricating shave cream and to moisten the hair with a warm wet towel for a few minutes before actually starting the shave. Make sure you move the blade straight up along the same plane as the handle - side to side motion of the blade will invite a nasty cut. Lastly, have a styptic pencil handy to stop bleeding from small cuts. Also, a wet bathcloth applied to any bleeding will usually stop it after a couple of minutes.
