+1. and generic shaving cream. I spend less than twenty bucks a year on shaving supplies.
I got away from the shaving cream also. Went to a dollar store hand/body cocoa butter lotion. 24 oz. jug for about $2., and it's gonna last at least a year.
I use bar soap instead of shaving cream.
I have found that if you store your razor in a glass jar filled with high octane rubbing alcohol, with enough in it so the blades are submerged, the blades will stay sharp for much longer and it also will sterilize the razor. Needless to say any other high octane alcohol will work just as well, but I much rather drink it than waste it. I have no idea how come it works, but it sure does as it allows me to shave with the same razor for several weeks.
+2 And occasionally I use an electric that I bought years ago.
