Closer...why not have him take a walk on the wild side and try using the new laser razors that you only need to use once a month or some of the new chemicals that wipe hair off?
Of course, I'm not going to promise you that he won't blind himself with the laser or that the creams won't make a mess but then shaving is a hazardous occupation. LOL!

Closer2, I have found that "trimmer-type" shavers work very well. They are more like the clippers that barbers use. Those give a good close shave, at least for me. A good professional model is ANDIS, but try a beauty supply store is you look for one.
