I like micro-screen shavers better than rotary ones (my first shaver was, 
in fact, a rotary Norelco!), and I have a neat Panasonic that works in the 
shower very nicely.  (The only problem is being only partway done and 
having to open it up to rinse out a buildup of shaving cream mid-shave, 
and that's not that big a deal.)
