Depends. If I'm just shaving off the fuzz, electric. If I want to be touchably smooth, manual.

This. Not that I've shaved at all in over a year.

Razor with no shaving cream. Clean the blades with an old toothbrush.

This. Also, if I neglect the shaving for too many days in a row, I need to trim back with the electric before I can wield the blade.

Braun electric razor.

Actually shaves closer than most blades and lasts almost forever. I'm on my second Braun in 25 years. Last one lasted 20 years before the battery just wouldn't hold a decent charge anymore.

Both. Electric to trim length, manual to shave neck.

I prefer manual. I tend to get a lot of ingrown hairs when I use an electric razor.

Spot on!

Actually, may be more of an issue that I always felt that an electric razor was pulling off my skin. Never felt comfortable with one.

This, minus the toothbrush. Shaving cream takes too much time and makes too much mess for too little benefit.

Electric for traveling/trimming/when I'm in a rush (I have a Braun, those things are awesome).

Single bladed safety razor for when I want a good shave. Along with a badger hair brush.

I just use a bar of soap. That's really all shaving cream is, anyway, pre-foamed soap.

I'd say you haven't found a good shaving cream or soap, then, Vlad. I hate shaving cream from a can with a passion. Shaving cream from a tube with a brush is far better, but for me, the best is a tallow based soap with a brush, followed with a good aftershave balm.

Bar soap, Aethien? If it works for you, that's great, but I think specialized shaving soaps are far superior. YMMV, of course...

Electric shavers? Have tried them, lots of them, vastly prefer blade and brush.

I go with the single blade safety razor also, but I still selected Farsky is gay in the poll.

Four/five-blade safety razor. I shave...I dunno, around once a week. Twice if a situation calls for it.

electric only - bringing a sharp object near my vital circulation system violates one of my personal rules

I wish Electrics didn't feel like they were trying to pull out my hairs one at a time.

Electrics chew my face to ribbons and give me tons of ingrown hairs.
