I started shaving with a safety razor. In college, the book store sold a “Buck Box” which was a box of toiletry samples (deodorant, shaving cream, aspirin etc.) that sold for a dollar and included the latest and greatest Gillette razor. Those changed a lot in 4 years so I got to test drive them all. Techmatic, some kind of loop/band blade et al.
I’m happy with a Mach 3. The 5-blade contraptions are just too expensive.
Anyways, I’ve never had an urge to try a straight blade. They developed the safety razor for a reason and its name is appropriate. To me, shaving is a chore, not an adventure.
