I work from home, so I generally only shave about twice per week. I have been using various 2 and 3 blade disposables for years, and was never all that happy. My infrequent shaving lead to the blades getting clogged with whiskers and only good for about 2 shaves.

Last year, I bought a WW2 vintage Schick Injector on Ebay and blades, brush and shaving cream from Amazon.

I also have a buddy who owns an antique store, so I asked him to keep his eyes open for an old-school Double edged Gillette safety razor. He ended up finding me a 1950s vintage Gillette Super Speed.

Of the two, I like the Schick the best, and that is what I use most often. Better shave than any disposable I have ever used, and probably cheaper in the long run, blades are lasting several weeks.

The good thing about the Gillette is the blades can be found damn near anywhere, but the Injectors are a mail order only thing.
