Your Razor Choice (for the partially or fully bald-faced)

[sanddog28]

I seem to be pretty much in tune with Artificer on the weekends or days off when i have the time i have a classic Dovo5/8 that is the best shave outside of the barber shop. But for those quick shower shave and dash days I keep a Gillette fusion around but whenever I shaving i always use my Art of Shaving soap and brush.

I am afraid I am sadly conventional and normally use a Gillette Mach 3, and their shaving gel for everyday use. However, if I am getting ready to go to a special event, (later in the same day/evening) and am a bit flush I enjoy going to a proper barber and getting the treatment with hot towels, traditional shaving soap, and then shaved with an open razor. I have also previously tried the traditional double sided safety razor but was never satisfied with the result. I dislike electric shavers, because I don't feel really clean shaven after using one.

These guys have a pretty good selection. http://www.smallflower.com/men/razors
If you happen to be in downtown Chicago they have a store called Merz Apothecary at the Palmer House.

Since I sport a full beard I only shave a few times a week to keep my neckline trimmed up. I use an old double edged saftey razor that I used back in the early 80's, but which is much older than that. I get blades at Walmart or Walgreens, but sometimes you have to hunt for them. Some days I shave dry, and somedays use shaving cream. I don't use my mug, soap and brush much since there really isn't room in our bathroom to store it.
