i went through a phase where i used a straight razor. it's great to slow down and make a ritual out of shaving, but i found that i had a shittier shave in general and was always late for work. i switched to a merkur safety razor which is easier to maintain and use (just swap out or flip the blade, no stropping required). went with that for a while but eventually found myself reaching for the mach 3 because you get a closer shave and it's faster.
to this day i maintain that lathering up your face with a fine sandalwood soap is one of the greatest pleasures a man can have, so i still use the brush for lather, but mach 3 for shaving
