Whadj'a find?

A bunch of really nice Chinese (ZY brand) straight razors. As low as $11. I know they get a bad rep from some sites, but given my experience with the GD, these should do great.

Not to mention the amps @Marvey found.

If DE floats your boat:

I'm likely gonna get some of those above (maybe all) and check them out. Had very positive results with the GD 300, and have seen quite a few folks shave with the ZY razors successfully @ youtube (regardless of what SRP says)

Also, I like that the ZY razor there is shoulderless (easier to hone)

At these prices it seems like a no brainer to try one. Wish I had any success with wetshaving... tried a DE a few times, sliced my face and irritated my skin a few times, stopped trying.

Oh, wait. "The stand is not included." Horrible deal then, abandon ship entirely.

Try a Trac II or an Atra clone. Cartridges for those are really inexpensive and shave well. Personna is a good brand for the cartridges:
