> Most of us are used to chemical gel's or foams. Much better than these and shaving soap / brush, is Somerset's Shaving Oil[1]. King of Shaves do a shaving oil too, but it's nowhere near as good. Not affiliated, I just love the stuff. You can use it with shaving soap too, but I just use it on its own. At one point I was worried the company might go under so I bought a big box of it just in case. It's not a great business model as one little bottle lasts months. You only use 3 drops per shave.

Ok, your comment just convinced me to give my DE another go. For the last few months I've been using cheap plastic 2-blade disposables because they're cheap enough, and easier to use than the nice razor I've been ignoring. Just ordered some oil and balm from that site. ALSO: That order page is a breath of fresh air. As soon as I added one item to my "cart", I was presented with their full list of SKUs, enough info to know which is which, and a quantity box next to each. So simple. I wish more ecommerce sites did stuff like this.

  I am on my second Panasonic (Matsushita) foil razor, and I will never use anything else. The blades seem to be immortal, and they commonly last 5-10 years until the batteries fail. There are no regular consumables; the blades are never replaced. I had used Norelco foil razors previous to this, and the foils would break after wear and slash my face, easily drawing blood. Neither of my Panasonic razors has ever done this. I normally shave right after waking up, no shaving cream, lotion or sundry lubricant. If someone with extremely sensitive skin cannot do this, the shaver is waterproof. This one looks close to my current model. https://www.amazon.com/Panasonic-Electric-ES8103S-Nanotech-Flexible/dp/B001DNE3KQ/ref=asc_df_B001DNE3KQ/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=312141772287&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=3425320561444147643&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=m&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9021898&hvtargid=pla-632025467957&psc=1&tag=&ref=&adgrpid=61712669666&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvadid=312141772287&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=3425320561444147643&hvqmt=&hvdev=m&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9021898&hvtargid=pla-632025467957 https://www.amazon.com/Panasonic-Electric-ES8103S-Nanotech-F...
