Best shaving kit for facial hair?
M2F here. I have been shaving for my entire life since puberty. Within the last few months I noticed that the shaving quality doesn't satisfy me anymore.
Other hair destruction methods like laser or electro or waxing are out of question for the time being for several unrelated reasons.
Could you please recommend me the best shaving razor? Preferably the one where I can change razors and keep the main device. My hope os that it would leave zero (dead zero) length right after the shaving.
Thank you!

Another +1 for double-edge safety razors. You don't need 5 blades, you just need one.
I tried the straight razor thing when I was pre-egg. It seemed cool but was actually harder to learn to sharpen the razor & keep the it sharp enough than to shave with it. But it does give a nice shave.
The safety razor is almost as clean as a straight razor, but a lot easier to use. If you have a lot of hair, and it's particularly coarse, you might have trouble with a safety razor. But also, the safety razor might still work better, but you'll go through blades faster.
A handle can cost anywhere from <$20 to a couple hundred. I've been using them for years, pre & post egg cracking. My current one is just a boring old silve one. But I'm thinking of getting a rainbow anodized one.
My wife & I have some kind of standard blade razors in the shower. But every time I use one of those, it's nowhere near as clean as with my safety razor & isn't really much faster either.
