Frankly, for me I use the Gillette CustomPlus pivoting dual-blade disposable razor with a good shaving gel. It's a relatively simple razor and works really good for me. I used to use the Schick Xtreme 3 but it's now too pricey for me....
I just always ‘shaved’ and got done with it. I wasn’t in it for the ‘experience.’
I don’t pooh pooh someone spending the extra money if they have it - I just don’t need it. And that is why they still sell the cheap white BIC razors with the yellow-orange covers.
