Good advice. I have a Merkur safety razor, Merkur blades, a badger shaving brush, good shaving cream, and still cannot get a good shave. That razor is pretty uncomfortable to shave with IMO. The frugal side of me wants to make the switch, but the safety razor does a poor job shaving. I asked a friend of mine who is a barber about safety razors and he says they don't work. I will try that Red Pack Personnas though. It bothers me spending money on razors frequently.
And the only reason I shave is I need to for my job(well every couple days or so)
