Right now, I'm using a safety razor .. a v old one, again bought from eBay ... one of those early 20th century Gillette ones ... a Gillette Senator, decades older than I am. The earlier ones, especially open comb types (the earliest design) shave comparably close to 3 or 5 modern bladed ones. Using Kai blades with it .. the result is great .. maybe the best combo I've come up with.

Also I'm toying with the idea of getting into cutthroat razor shaving ... prob months away, though. Should be 'fun' .....
Good post! Yup, in the States here it's now known as "Phillips Norelco" combined as one.

I had an old Braun series, one of the self cleaning suckers, but killed it after years of use and moved on.

Finally, I was told about "The art of shaving" which is a great site, and of course also have their own products. I got me an awesome brush from them made out of fine beaver hair. Also pre-shave oil, shaving cream & after shave, all from them. I bought a safety razor from them and then proceeded to nearly cut my entire chin off. Safety my ass! So I went back to my Gilette at the time, and now I just use Harry's razors. I found that, for me, the oil is the most important to an easy and smooth shave. Good shaving cream too helps. I thought of a straight razor as I know you can't get better - but this is me we're talking about, I don't need a weapon for my own neck!

Get my new one tomorrow, can't wait to try it out. The little things in life make me happy now.
