Electric or.....

I have an old WW2 GI issue shaving kit. One of those butterfly "safety" razors that you have to open up and drop an actual razor blade in and then close it all back up. Oh yeah, and I've got the mug, soap, and brush too. I used to use the Gillette Mach III, but the blades got too damn expensive. When you have to pay $20 for four blades that probably cost a buck and a half to make, that's too much! I can get a pack of 10 Wilkinson's Sword blades for under $2. They're inexpensive and last quite awhile. I can get a good month's worth of shaving out of one blade. Granted, I only shave about once a week. The soap costs about $2 or $3 for a cake, and the brush was about $15, but it lasts quite awhile. I haven't bought any shaving supplies for close to a year now, and it's nice! It did take some getting used to, though. When you've been pampered by triple blades and gel "Comfort" strips on your razor for close to 20 years, you almost wonder if it is worth it during that first shave. But you get used to it. And it shaves REAL close!
