I am a safety razor user. I have a Merkur heavy handle and I love it. I also love buying something that I know is for life. It will outlive me, easily. I also have a perverse pleasure in not buying those throw-away razor heads that cost so much money. You can use a safety razor maybe up to a week before you swap it out, but it costs like a nickel a shave and it's 100% recyclable steel.

It takes some getting used to. Get a mug and a brush and soap, and learn to soak your face with a hot towel. Your skin will need time to adjust to the new type of razor. As others have said, look at Mantic59's videos and get ready to rumble.

Also be aware that there are 10 million different kinds of razors and soap, and they are all over the map. I have been told that Feather brand will cut your face off and they are so sharp you won't even know it. I myself have never tried them, but I had to try about 5 brands before I found one that suited me. Get an assortment at first.
