I've since switched over to a straight razor with disposable blades, or a double edged safety razor if I'm short on time. Much closer shave, no irritation, only cut myself once and the occasional little nicks close right up with alum.
This would have been timely had you posted when the thread started back in 2007 ;)

I started out with a Gillette Mach3 like my parents used but that didn't agree with my face so I switched to the Schick Quattro a friend had ordered to me. Eventually I settled on buying this big handle/4xbladepack combo at sams/costco whenever I ran out of cartridges.

As of about 30 minutes ago I took my first (inexpensive trial step) into the Straight world:

Surprisingly not much more blood than I got with the gillette at first, which apparently is a respectable feat of shavery giving the flexibility and those damned corners.
