Before long we'll be shaving with something that looks like a friggin cheese-grater.
Seriously though, until recently I used a Gillette Contour Plus that I'd owned since I started shaving. Then someone came door-to-door a couple of months ago offering a "free Gillette Fusion in exchange for your old razor" so I swapped. The blades are that bloody expensive I half wish I hadn't, although I tend to cut myself an awful lot less with it.
(I also have a cheap electric for when I can't be bothered with a wet shave, but it's not very good.)
As for lotions and potions, whatever shaving gel or foam is cheapest, and whatever aftershave I have kicking around. Although I'm getting to quite like a Blue Water aftershave lotion I've found (from some sort of gift set probably) that has some sort of minty stuff in it; it calls itself "cooling balm" and it's a lot nicer on the face than alcohol-based aftershaves.
All that being said, I'm a lazy bastard, and I only tend to shave twice a week at most.
