Is anyone here using a Safety Razor like this one below?
Merkur Long Handle Double Edge Safety Razor 4" - Knifecenter.com
I started looking into these as a cheaper alternative to the replacement blades I have been using. It also looks like if a guy got in a tight spot he could resharpen these himself. I saw replacement blades for these at Meyers for $4 per 10 replacements. I just can't see paying what they charge for the Gillette replacements anymore. If I trusted myself with a straight razor I'd go that way, but I'm too clumbsy for one of those.
