I highly recommend the Feather Touch shaver, which operates on one C battery. It's not cheap, but it's worth it. I've tried every kind of regular razor out there--single blade, double blade, and triple blade, and I still end up w/a rash of razor bumps afterwards (pun intended). I have far less trouble when I use the Feather Touch shaver, and it does shave closer than you'd imagine. Like I said, it isn't cheap, but then the cost of those triple-edge blades and the shaving cream or gel adds up, too.
When I first got that shaver, it was called the Midas Touch 8000. I wasn't very happy w/it; it got dull right away. The Feather Touch has stayed sharp much longer. Also, you can get replacement blades now as well. I know that men can use it, too, not just because they say so but because the first time I ever heard about this shaver was in a review of it written by a man.
Here's a link for it:

Here's a link to the main site:

Like the site says, you have to be shaved or trimmed pretty closely at first, so it comes w/a trimmer called the Lady Fair Double-Edged Trimmer. It works well, but be careful w/it; it doesn't have a safety edge and can pull or take bites out at times. If you have a razor w/a safety edge trimmer already or a beard trimmer w/a safety edge trimmer already, I would recommend using it at first. Once you are trimmed down and are using the Feather Touch daily or every other day, you won't need to use a trimmer anyway.
I also have tried Remington's MSC 100 MicroScreen shaver. It's the cheapest one they make--$9.97 at Wal-Mart. Even it works quite well for the price. Sometimes I alternate between the Feather Touch and the Remington or use the Remington and immediately follow up w/the Feather Touch.
I've never used the rotary type of shaver but have always hoped to find someone who has to see if it pulls or not.
BTW, the company that sells the Feather Touch is wonderful about helping you out if you have a problem at all w/their products. The first Midas Touch I got had a defective cover (it wouldn't stay screwed on; they replaced it cheerfully right away). When I wrote them many months later asking if they sold replacement blades because mine dulled quickly, they instead replaced the entire shaver w/the Feather Touch. I haven't had to buy replacement blades for this Feather Touch yet, and I've been using it almost daily for many months.
Good luck!
