Oh, what a misguided little shit I was when I first posted in this thread.

Double-edged safety razor master race reporting in. I started with a Merkur I purchased in 2013, then inherited my great-grandfather's Gillette from the 60's. Purchased a 50's era Gillette Red Tip, which is now my every (other) day shaver. I use only feather blades, as they work best for my skin. Razorock soap and alum block + Clubman after shave.

Mach 3??? you must have baby faces. I dull a Mach 3 halfway through a shave. I now use Harry's 6 blade and while not perfect it does last a few shaves for me.

I use a one of the top Panasonic wet/dry electric models. I've used a variety of blades and for my beard I can't tell the difference (and the electric is a lot less hassle). Dry works pretty darn good and using it in the shower is better than a blade for me.
