straight razor, my man. used to get terrible razor burn and lots of small cuts from disposables (of all types, and the whole Gillette 5 stacked blades are just a very expensive scam imo). switched to a nice straight razor and it’s a whole new world. love the ritual, too.
downsides would be the cost (but you never pay for a disposable again) and the slightly steep learning curve. also may be frowned upon in a carry-on on an airplane, and I don’t trust baggage handlers to not brutalize my checked in luggage. so I just go feral if travelling for a couple of days or use an obscene amount of bubble wrap.
