Can’t help on this one.
I’m leaving enough blood around already from somewhere (foot, leg, arm, hand, head) about every day just from normal work around the house and I get the “Where are you bleeding now?” from the wife...
I’ll stay away from the straight razors. No sense adding to the blood loss, carpet, sheet and furniture stains.
Brother, you described me.
That’s one of the reasons I ask.
Somehow, I can cut myself with an anvil.
I’m amazed that I can get through as many shaves as I have without winding up anemic.

Dude, I think you need to cut down on the aspirin. Or something! Get well soon!
I agree. I use pre shave oil and cream on a brush every morning. I tried the DE route awhile back and had real issues with my neck. The cheeks were no problem, but really scraped up the throat area. I went back to my Schick Quattro. If you are looking for good shave cream, the best I have for the price is Taylor of Bond Street. Good stuff, reasonably priced and comes in a variety of scents.
Another little tip. If you see one of those ads for the device that extend the life of your multi blade razors get it. They work. I have extended the life of my blades by double from maybe 3 weeks to over two month from a single cartridge.
