[quote name='Number83']I highly recommend the Gillete Fusion Proglide...sure the razors cost $112.57 for a 4 pack, but 1) They last FOREVER; 2) they dont nick; and 3) they really are the closest shave ever.[/QUOTE]
I'm too cheap for that. I usually just buy the Gillette blue handle disposable ones. They have three (?) blades and a litte soothing strip. You get about 10 of em for $7 or $8. They last me probably a month.
Costco has a case of 52 of em. They probably last me a year.
I rarely nick my face with the blade, but I'm still getting the rare pimple here or there in my advanced age. Those end up getting cut while shaving and leaving little bloody spots.
Growing a beard and maintaining it is actually more work than shaving, too.
