I didn't like shaving either. Then I bought a straight razor. Now shaving is one of my favorite parts of the day.

As far as what to buy, it depends on your starting budget. A shavette is the cheapest and you don't need anything else other than a can of shaving cream. Or you can spend a $1000 on a fully restored antique and premium supplies. I would imagine that your needs lie somewhere in between.

My wife bought me a Double Edge Parker safety razor and it's like silk compared to disposable cartridges. Not that expensive and replacement blades are relatively inexpensive. They are easy to learn and good to have around even with a straight razor being your main razor.

So ask yourself, do you want to learn a new set of skills ?
