    I use a Braun series7 shaver most of the time with the very occasional wet shave

    No great lovers of shaving then here. Most use a Braun electric series 7 and 9. of wet shavers they often use the cheaper ones.
    An interesting take on this. I love shaving as its me time. I use a Muhle German razor and Proraso Italian creams. Blades vary but are usually Muhle, Derby or Feather if I'm feeling like risking it all.

    I've had a few close shaves in my life. Nothing to do with whiskers though.

    Wet shave my fat face with Mach 3 razor and shaving soap and brush daily.
    Also do my (now Bald) head with a Philips series 5000 daily too.
    Surprisingly doesn't take too long to do both on a morning.

    Gave up on disposables a couple of years ago.
    Much better value for money (and a far, far better shave) with a proper safety razor, a brush and some good shaving cream.

    Like most blokes stuff, bit of a boutique industry going on, but no need to spend silly money.
    Use a Merkur 34C safety razor with feather brand blades, Taylor of Bond Street shaving cream with a good brush.
    About £100 for the lot, a bit spendy if your used to using yellow Bic's, but a good investment.
    Helluva shave and you end up saving money over time.
