I invested in one of these recently, along with a badger hair brush, some proper shaving foam, and something like 100 blades from a variety of manufacturers. The total outlay was maybe £50. I am honestly never going back to a mass manufactured multi-blade type razor again. I get a much better, closer shave and way less rash and burn. It takes longer, but i feel the trade off is well worth it. There is the obvious financial benefit that will more that pay for itself within a couple of years as well. I forget how much a gilette mach whatever blade was, something like £3-5.

I recently started purposefully taking longer to shave and it seems that my quality of shave has gone of pretty dramatically. Granted, I'll usually just be shaving my neck, but I don't get the nicks and burn anymore. ymmv I've thought about going the safety razor route but there was a span of time where I was travelling almost constantly and, from what I understand, you're not allowed to bring them in your carry on (I don't usually check luggage). Might give it a shot now that I don't really travel anymore.
