I shave like a billion other men, DE shaver, invented by Gillette 1901 (I think it was).
Brush, (badger or synthetic), soap, (Palmolive and Crabtree and Evelyn).
I change blade once a week. I buy the blades on internet from various countries like Pakistan, India, Egypt, Russia, Germany, England, Japan, Korea. etc. Looking for the best blade which lasts a week. In order to make the blade last, I take it out and dry it thoroughly after each shave.
So far, the russian Rapira, based on steel from Sandvik from Sweden, looks very promising.
