Electric one is actually less irritating (if its high quality) because it doesnt shave as close as a regular razor.

The key is to press very lightly against your skin and let the electric razor do the work.

generally speaking, some people will always experience irritation because they have sensitive skin and there is no product that can help with that, despite all the advertising as "for sensitive skin".

What happens when you're shaving is that you literally have a pieice of metal removing not only your hair - but also the outermost layer of your skin, the stratum corneum. hence, irritation is normal for people with very sensitive skin.

Shaving and its Effects on Percutaneous Absorption in the Skin*

Despite its being an area of concern for many years, the percutaneous absorption of cosmetics has not been rigorously studied. Additionally, the effects of shaving on this process are relatively unknown. An overview of recent research reveals that more research in this area is required.
