I found an old Gillette safety razor in an antique store for about 10 bucks. Purchase German blades on Amazon. Best shave I’ve ever had. It’s funny to see all of these newer razors with 7 blades that don’t give nearly as close of a shave as a single blade. Plus they always dulled fast and were expensive.
I only clean up the neck and cheek lines every week or two so the janky Gillette fusion blades work for me. If I was more diligent about trimming, I'd probably hunt something better

I've used Clubman for years.
Ditto. Plus the sorely missed Mr Moo's Bay Rum.

Not everyone can pull off your look with as much panache as you do.

I thought maybe I posted this somewhere here before but I don’t remember. This is my second most used method of shaving. This kamisori uses replaceable blades. The ones I have now were told to me to be the second sharpest blade on the face of the earth. Lol.

That is very interesting. Is it Japanese?

I've had this brush and stand for about 8 years now,
Doug Erwin made it for me. Nothing fancy here in terms of grooming. I've never bought or used disposable razors.
