I shave when I am in the shower with the cheapest shaving cream and Shick twin blade razor.
Very close shave and no mess to clean up.

What Do You Shave With?

In the shower with Gillette Gel and an Gillette M3 Power (green) blade on a regular Gillette handle. I change the blade once a month, usually on the 15th. My wife uses the same razor for her legs.
I don't shave from Friday to Sunday - shaving four days a week is lots.

And after those 3 days you don't shave, you face feels like a baby's butt cause your skin is soooo soft.
Right now I have a Sensor Excel and Personna 3 blade cheap blades. When I can afford them again I'll get the Sensor blades again. I have Barbasol right now.
Used a safety razor for decades (better dig it out I think in hindsight, might make a pyramid for it too).
Bought a Mach III a few years ago liked it. Went through a few sets of blades, and tried a quattro...clogs the silly blade openings like you wouldn't believe, and the Mach III does a way better job.
If I'm going out, will lather with shaving soap and brush, prior to shower.
Normal rush is to shave dry, post shower.
Electrics that I've tried take forever sawing at even a day's growth.
Or I could get the straight razor that I found in the shed sharpened.

plastic disposable gillette blades (double) with cheapest gilette foam
shave mon, wed, fri, after shower. i'm a pretty hairy dude so i sport a 5 o clock shadow the next day. but this way i don't get irritated skin. one disposable lasts me a fortnight
tried braun and philips electric ones - take forever and cut too close.

Schick Quattro with titanium blade and store brand Gel. I try to shave according to need.
Schick Slim Twin razors and I use ivory bar soap lather for shaving cream. I shave in the shower and I don't shave on weekends or vacations if I can help it. (This could be cross-posted to the cheapskate thread.)
I shave whenever, with an electric shaver. Before I got the electric one I had some 3 blade thing. I always shaved with just water.
usually gillette super speed and/or fatboy adjustable,mug soap,boar brush,derby blades.
once in a while gels,mug creams,canned foam,disposable razor.
uaually in the shower.
the double edge blades are pretty cheap and the razors can be bought online new or used.i find i get a better shave with them,just takes a little adjusting of technique.
p.s. try badgerandblade.com if you are interested in the world of de/wetshaving.

Braun 7000 series. Self-cleaning, quiet.
Mach III and Edge shaving gel. Tried the electric ones, but always ended up with an irritated face.

I thought I recognized your screen name! And yes, Crew does remind me of Dallas...
Anyway, a better question is what don't I shave with.
Straight razor, Merkur HD, Parker 22R, some Superspeeds, Dovo Shavette, and my personal favorite, my brass handled Merkur Trac II.
Soaps, creams, I use them all.

Thought I'd revive this old thread and pass on a money saving tip to the Gillette Fusion users. I've been a dedicated Fusion user since getting a free one in the mail a few years ago but always grumble about the price of replacement blades until I read about the Personna Magnum M5 on a shaving website. It's identical to the Fusion and is sold at WalMart. The handle and three blades cost $5.88 and the 4 pack replacement blades are also $5.88, compared to $13.27 for 4 Fusion blades. Used it for about a week now and am convinced they are every bit as good, or better than the Fusion for a huge savings.
