A question for those who shave their faces.

[reddragdiva]

My Gilette Mach III razor just broke. That is, the handle, which I paid all of four quid for in 2002 and have kept stocked with blades ever since. Not just from inertia, I must note — in decades of shaving, this is the best sort of blade I've ever used.

But, the handle's broken and I'm out of blades. So this is a golden opportunity for a small optimisation!

So, tell me: what shaving equipment leaves you feeling unreasonably satisfied?

And is there anyone who's used a Mach III and found something better?

I can't remember if you can get it in the UK, but both my ridiculously sensitive skin and Neph's tolerated Kiss My Face brand moisture shave very well, and it seemed to produce a better shave. (I may have brought some over with me, is why I can't remember where I got it. A tube or bottle lasts quite a long time since you need way less than you might think.)
