Shaving: Merkur Safety Razors

[Skoob]

I've been thinking about getting a safety razor myself. I agree that all cartridge/disposables suck equally. I have been using the cheapest single blade disposables I could find.

OTB, have you tried dry shaving with a good Norelco electric? When I say "dry" I mean you prep your face with talc before shaving (and after washing your face, obv).
