What is the best razor and cream to get a great, clean shave? I use Gillette Mach 3's currently, but I don't like the fact that they clog frequently and I have to go over my face multiple times to get a result I want. I use Gillette shaving gel too.
I just want the optimal combo to get rid of everything without cleaning in between the blade thoroughly every time I take a stroke across the face. Curious about what you fellas use

Get a DE razor and try out some different blades until you find the type you like. It'll save you from having to buy 25 dollarydoos worth of bullshit cartridges every few weeks. Pic related is the best shaving cream I've used by a wide margin.

I use a straight razor with exchangeable heads and a small woman's safety razor to clean up if I'm in a rush. Shaving cream is those Arko sticks. Takes a bit longer but i feel it's worth it and I like to shave.

Safety razor - preferably a long handle with a butterfly head
Experiment to find the best blades - it will never clog - I buy a 100 blades for about $10 on Amazon
Any cheap foam shaving cream will work
Col. conk for the win if you get a badger hair brush
You're welcome

I switched about 4 years ago from Gillette Mach 3 to using a safety razor.
Best thing I have ever done for my skin.
It does take some time to learn how to do it properly but this guy (/user/ChiCityTimelapse) on youtube "Nick Shaves" knows his shit.
I'm currently using a Merkur 34c, Boar-hair brush and an aloe based shaving puck which I cannot remember the name of. You have a slightly higher start up cost (~40 quid for razor and brush) but I would say to invest well at the start and then all you have to buy is more blades (100 for 6 quid on amazon, read reviews for these, all are sharp, some are too sharp imo [feather blades]) and every few months a new shaving soap.
As for wanting to not have to thoroughly clean, I know the pain of hair getting stuck between the tiny shitty gaps in a mach3 cart, I can honestly say that I have cleared 4 or 5 days growth in a single pass, one quick dunk in the sink and it's totally cleared.
Make the switch dude, your skin and your wallet will thank you.

And I meant to add, buy a block of alum, will last a lifetime and stops bleeds instantly.
