It took freaking forever to shave though! I had no electric to do the "heavy-lifting", so it took up to 8 or 9 passes on a single strip with my blade to get down to the skin!

That's where an old fashioned straight razor kicks butt. It doesn't have that continuous clogging problem nor does it have a limit as to how much it can cut at once.
My skin is so sensitive, though, that I only use an electric razor. I'm very tempted to try a straight razor, though. But with kids in the house they are pretty dangerous to have around. But it would be nice to have that and an old fashioned shaving creme brush set.

I use the nice Gilette razors.

@scottalanmiller Always wanted to try a straight-edge though.

I used to. Horrible razor burn from even a single shave, though.

I've found that's often more from the shaving cream than the razor.

It does take finding the right combo to make things work...

I (basically) use this:
It's over 50 years old, and still going... just change the blades.
Using this for lather..

Let me shave you some money....
Ever heard of Dollar Shave Club? Its pretty cheap, but once again we have a middle man. Dollar Shave Club buys DORCO razors and then ships them to you at a regular interval.
You can buy the same exact razors directly from the DORCO website or even Amazon
For $20 you can get a premium razor ( comparable to gillette fusion) and 10 blades

Yeah, it's not a bad deal buying it yourself. I honestly just like the idea of not having to remember to order more heads.

I'm lazy like that.

Buy in bulk at Costco.
