Safety razors are great too. Lots of the benefits of using a straight but with the illusion of safety.
Huge choice/variation of blades can make finding the right combination of handle, blade, your face a bit of a challenge but once you find "the one" then you can enjoy scraping protein strands from your face for less than a pint per year. -
Which one?
Sorry. Just checked, it was £26 at the time is £27 now. Hardly a fortune compared to a couple of mach3 blades.
Edwin Jagger DE Razor Chrome Plated DE89 Barley from the Traditional Shaving Company. I would recommend them as they patiently answered my stupid questions and gave great service.
A friend converted me with the blade price (I need to shave daily for work, have thick dark hair and can grow a stubble by midday).
Anyway he is even worse than me for geeking out and over researching when he gets on a new idea. His research conclusion was the Edwin Jagger DE Razor, so I just followed
and waisted my time on trying to decide which handle finish.I chose the slightly more expensive Barley finish because I thought it looked better and that it would give better grip (no idea if it does).

Can't speak to a cut throat razor (that's what a straight razor is right?) but I moved to a classic safety razor due to price.
The cost of old fashion safety razor blades is so much cheaper than mach3 et al. OK I splashed out on a £27 razor but I could have bought the same one with a different grip for £20 and over the course of a year it paid for itself.
