Greetings,
I've been reading the Style Forum for a while, although have not posted before. Â Thank you all for your past and future insight.
I was hoping someone would have advice to offer. Â For many years I've had trouble getting a shave that is as close and "clean" as I would like. Â I finally got close (pardon the pun) to what I want using the Gilette Mach 3 and Mach 3 Turbo razor blades, but I am wondering if there is anything better out there. Â One thing that comes to mind is the old-fashioned straight razor. Â Does anyone have any experience with them? Â Are they very difficult to use properly? Â Are they as dangerous as they seem? Â How difficult is it really to keep it properly honed so I don't slice myself into pieces inadvertently? Â Where could I buy a high-quality one? Â Does it require special products (shaving cream, etc.) that are different from what I use with "normal" razors? Â Finally, is there a better solution? Â One important requirement is that it be inexpensive -- I feel that event the Mach 3 razors are a bit overpriced at $9 per 4-pack.
Thank you all in advance,
