Mach 3 razor & Aveno shaving cream for my head - Electric for face.

Straight razor passed down to me by my grandpa.

No joke I never have cut my self with it.

It's scary at first, and first few times it took me over an hour. Even now it still takes way longer then with something like say a Quattro.

Personally I find it relaxing and rewarding putting that time in.

If you'd like some tips or a how to I'd be more then willing. It's just don't rush and keep your blade sharp, no magic ninja tricks. Not saying I'm not a magical ninja though

I bought a safety razor as a small step towards getting a straight blade. It is a "safety" razor, but you still have to be careful with it, more so than the cartridge models. It's nicer shave too, and I'm with you on taking time to enjoy the ritual. My biggest worry with the SR is taking care of it and keeping it sharp. I'd like to find someone to help show me how to take care of it properly, versus learning on my own and ruining it.

I go between a Gillette fusion manual razor and the Braun Pulsonic series electric razor. I love my Braun Pulsonic razor though!
