Fashion & Beauty Old School Shaving - double edge safety razors, straight razors and the like

I've recently started to get more into this. I've been using an Edwin Jagger DE89 safety razor with Merkur super blades. Haven't gotten a brush yet, but I'm not in a rush since I like Neutrogena's shave gel, smells good.



So far, it's given me a decent shave, but it's definitely been more work and I've had to be more careful with angle and pressure. When I'm in a pinch, I still reach for the Gillette (especially since I have a pile of unopened fusions that I got for free) because I still can't beat it in terms of quality of shave per time spent.

The Mekur blades do seem to "catch" a lot, especially near my chin and neck area, so I'm hoping to try other alternatives.

Anyone else into this stuff?
