It's kind of odd the things you remember when you away from home and alone.
My maternal grandfather gave me my first razor when I was about 14. It was just a double edge safety razor, not gold, not silver, not engraved. A working man's razor from one working man to another (that was the way he hoped I would turn out anyway). It was important to him that he gave me my first razor, it was important to me that it was important to him. I still have it. I haven't used it in so many years I can't even remember. It won't ever be important to anyone but me. I'd give everything I own to have one more day with my grandparents.
When I stopped using it I started using the 17 cent Bic razors. I can remember my wife used to come in a borrow them to shave her legs with then, lie like a dog when I called her
on it 
. Ladies you can't bs your way out of that one. When I would look at them, after inflicting beauceaup pain on my face, they would look like crosscut saws. I swear, you could use them to saw prison bars. After my sons got old enough to shave, I would hide my new razors in places so well hidden a meth dealer can only dream of finding a place this good to stash his stuff.
Now I use some vibrating multiblade razor or another. I use oil & foam together, the oil to make it glide, the foam so I can see the spots I miss.
Electric razors I don't care for, I have a few, but very very seldom use them.
