Fatips are excellent value for money and shave really well. Plus they're solid brass, it's almost like buying NOS. I've not had any QC problems, but then I've only ever bought two of them.

If you're happy buying vintage then the Gillette New is an excellent razor.

I have heard that Fatip have blade alignment from a fellow wet shaver

As my screen name indicates, I tend to shave fairly infrequently. But when I do, I like to use shave soap and a safety razor. I have a Vikings Blade safety razor that I like, and if I manage to shave twice a week, it works just fine. But when I go more than 5 or 6 days, it's pretty rough going. I don't want to buy an electric trimmer... I've read that open comb safety razors might be a good option for someone who follows a rather loose and lazy shaving schedule like I do. What do you guys think? Could anyone recommend a good razor/blade combo for me, or offer any other advice?

Do let us know your budget - there are sensible options available from as low as 30 USD to 300 USD :) - Fatip to a Timeless/Blackland

I do wonder with that one if there are some blades that don’t work as well with them. Both of mine are fine, but that is a small sample size. :)

Hey, which one is the good and cheap electric razor nowadays. Although, Amazon has a lot of listed but which one are the best and cheap under $100? Any suggestions?

You might be better off starting a new thread about this.
The odd time when I use an electric razor, I use a Philips OneBlade, which doesn't shave exactly close, but gets me looking presentable. I've read some good feedback on the Kemei TX1, although that was just one user over at B&B.
Having said that, I've been using a Henson Al13++ for quick shaves without fuss quite happily instead most of the time.

I used my electric razor for the first time in 14 years last week. It left my face feeling very irritated, much more than I’ve experienced from wet shaving. I bought the electric when I was to undergo chemo and my oncologist suggested I do so if I would be shaving before my hair stopped growing and fell out. At the same time I had my barber buzz my head.
