The Shaving Poll

[Iormlund]

Beard trimmer supplemented by a cartridge razor.

[Caliga]

Did you purposely set up the poll so people could pick up to 5 choices Cal?

Yep.

[DGuller]

Steak knife.

[grumbler]

Flint blade knapped to within an inch of its life.

My option isn't available--I use a double edge safety razor, the standard for men's shaving prior to cartridge razors (straight blades were mostly wielded by trained barbers and men wanting to show off, even in the past.) Once you learn to use a safety razor (you'll butcher your face learning), it's the best shave I've ever had. Smooth as a baby's bottom and nary a hint of razor burn.

This is the kind I mean, and the blades (which last 3-7 shaves depending on your fastidiousness) cost about $0.25-0.45/per.

I randomly picked five options because a correct one wasn't available.

Was this it?

You left of the classic (non-disposable) Safety Razor:



No cartridges.

[Martinus]

I miss-voted because I use cartridge (Mach 3D), but voted "disposable safety razor" as I thought it's the same thing. 

I have a rotary electric shaver but it always irritates my skin so I rarely use it.

I forgot that these existed.

[lustindarkness]

I have used just about all of the above,  always fall back to a good cartridge. Better shave,  less irritation. BTW, I shave my head too.

[Scipio]

If I shaved, I would use a double-edged safety razor. You can buy the blades in bulk and really save.
