Depends on the model. My first electric razor lasted somewhere around 10-12 years with no issues, before it broke and I needed a replacement. The replacement was a newer version of the same model, and caused bleeding around my adam's apple every day guaranteed; I downgraded and haven't had any issues since.

Those rotary ones are notoriously bad, they will cause pulling. I found the foil based ones like the braun series 3 to be a lot better in that regard, closer shave too, still nothing like a razor though.

It wasn't a rotary one though. The one that caused bleeding was a Braun Series 1-195s, while the good one is a Braun Series 1-190s.

The blades on the 195s are parallel with the foil though, while the 190s are perpendicular, so I'm sure it's the same problem.

Interesting. Mine is an old Philips Philishave, which use the rotary blades.

Pulling isn't really an issue unless my facial hair is extremely overdue for a shave. eg 4-5 days worth of hair.

When that happens, I just use my trimmer to take it back to near stubble, then use the above Philishave to finish things off.
