Ask your parents about a double edge (DE) saftey razor...the kind you buy double edge blades for and put in the top. This is probably the next best thing to a straight razor. You can check them out on a lot of sites: classicshaving.com; bestgroomingtools.com; and vintagebladesllc.com are some of my favorite sites. I recently purchased a DE razor and love the results: a close, smooth shave without the digging! Check them out!
