I actually spent almost a year doing things not quite right before I learned a few details from shaving enthusiasts on twitter and also from Tunisian barbers. I have a very basic razor, the same type sold by <a href="http://RetroRazor.com" rel="nofollow">RetroRazor.com</a> I bought a super cheap one and tried it once. It didn't go well. I think you need to get one with machined parts rather than stamped. Beth, Good strategy, razor blades are so small that you can get several years supply shipped without too much cost to your wallet or the environment. I had to resort to eBay for Brita filters this year. They are a bit bigger :( Duane, getting a close shave with a safety razor requires a bit of technique.

He sells a package of 100. <a href="http://shop.ebay.com/txukman/m.html?_nkw=Israeli+Personna&_sacat=0&_trksid=p3911.m270.l1313&_odkw=razor&_osacat=0" rel="nofollow">http://shop.ebay.com/txukman/m.html?_nkw=Israeli+Personna&_sacat=0&_trksid=p3911.m270.l1313&_odkw=razor&_osacat=0</a> Beth There’s also an Israeli company that makes awesome blades that never rust.
