I've started shaving the old chin again.
...
Any recommendations for a decent razor that uses blades that tend to be generally available?
Just about any good old-fashioned safety razor with good old-fashioned double-edged blades, a brush, & a Boots shave stick. Wet face with hot wet flannel, apply lather, shave quickly & lightly. Apply more lather, complete shave. Smooth as the oft-cited infant's arse.
Works very well indeed.
Blades are available everywhere, all round the world, unlike the weird & wonderful multi-bladed 'systems'.
Running costs are extremely low. I'm using the same razor my mother gave me 40 years ago, when my face first started sprouting fuzz. Derby Extra blades (made in Turkey) in packs of 100 can be bought mail order for £few, & seem to be very good.
The only reason for the move to multiple-bladed "shaving systems" with absurdly complicated & incompatible connections was to make more money for the razor firms. The old way wasn't broke. It didn't need fixing.
