If you want yet another option, you can still get safety razors, and blades for them. They're much cheaper than multi-blade razors, easier than a cut-throat razor, and as sharp as all hell. You know, the ones that look like this:

Plus you can slash your wrists with them if you get too depressed when the number of blades in a normal razor reaches double figures.
Random trivia: The founder of the Gillette Company was named King Camp Gillette. That is possibly the single most unfortunate name I have ever heard.

I've never used anything but an electric, which recently has started to annoy me. So last week I decided to see what my options were with something more manual, and the only razors they had that had fewer than four blades were all battery powered. Sure, they had refills for all the others, including a bunch of two blade ones, but they didn't sell the razors themselves.
Needless to say, I'm disappointedly still using my electic.

Oddly enough, my <i>razor</i> died last night.
The part that holds the baldes on just busted off while I was shaving.
And I have plenty of blades left, so I have to buy the same flippin razor or have the blades go to waste.

Should we now start making jokes about how it would be totally silly if the other one would in turn come up with a razor that has six blades?
Then, if they really do it, we can announce that we know how things work in the world and make a quick buck or two.
I shall not give up my Mach-3 for this sillyness (and recently I had to use a cheap dual-bladed thingie, which hurt me plenty).
Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out.

Well, I use six strings and fucking <b>ROCK</b> that shit off my face!
I used to do the same thing, but then they came out with one that has 12 strings! "When will the madness end!" I cried!
Then I just had all the hair removed from my face by a laser beam.*
*not really. I use a Mach 3 and shake my head in amazement at the escalating Razor Wars like everyone else. Also, I play a 12-string Rickenbacker, which chimes quite nicely but has virtually no effect on any body hair as near as I can tell.

Already done. See the pic posted by Taffer_Boy_Elvis above, which is from a joke commercial that advertised a 9-bladed razor.
Ever-increasing razor blades are a sign of the end times. I now quote the prophet from Monty Python's Life of Bryan:
Quote:
And on that day the Angel of Death will riiiiiiide forth...and he will weild a 9-bladed sword! Not five, not seven, but nine will be the blades of his sword, to use on sinners JUST LIKE YOU THERE, SIR!

My problem is I'm cursed with thick man hair but girly soft skin which means any tool sharp enough to cut through the forest is also strong enough to till the topsoil and leave me hating life for a day or so.
SNIP
Regardless the end result is I've always hated shaving and everything related to shaving. I had an out for a while as a dirty computer geek where I could get away with not shaving for days on end but now with the girlie in the picture I have to stay smooth on a semi-civilized basis or she punches me :(
This sums up my problem pretty well, too. I've been stricken with facial hair that grows like tropical bamboo and is about as easy to cut with a razor. My skin, however is pretty damn sensitive and tends to hold up like wet tissue paper. I tend to shave every three or four days, because otherwise I end up with a constantly sore, angry face. Even electrics graze up my face a fair bit.
I'm not a big sook though, honest.
