At this point. I think the only real option left. Is either start patronizing local Barbershops that offer shaves with a straight razor. Or learn how to use a straight razor and or knife to shave.
I knew a guy who used to use a Bowie Knife for instance.
In Ancient Greece, beards were the norm in society as people looked to the likes of Plato and Socrates. Alexander the Great, however, was a trend setter and disrupted this status quo by practicing the clean shave. He became the first Greek ruler to have done so
It historically wasn’t unheard of but was still not the norm in a lot of cultures until very recently in the timeline.
You couple it with the rise of the modern anxiety they have tried to create around having your natural body hair (especially in the pubic region) and I feel like this is an extension of Babylon’s pedo culture.
I use vintage Gillette double edge safety razors, acquired at antique stores & flea markets. There are countless manufacturers around the world still making these blades, and they are way cheaper than modern disposable, multiblade razors.
If you're not into vintage DE razors, there are also plenty of newer, modern DE razors being made, and are based on the vintage designs of Gillette.
Gillette wasn't always woke, and used to make some damn fine razors, that were literal works of art, as well as functional.

I twice shaved with a bayonet when I was in the army. I may go back to something similar if I can keep it sharp.
Now that you mention it...I do have my K-Bar!!!!!!! HMMMMMMMM!!!!
I’ve had suspicions about the entire shaving industry and the modern advent of adult men sheering off their facial hair for a long time.
This just may be my skewed perception as a decades long beardhaver but adult men without a lick of facial hair look real “off” to me.
Having worn a beard for most of my life, I decided to [very briefly] check into this.

I either use disposable razors, or my razor with a replacement blade.
I've been thinking of getting a straight razor, but i've never used one before.

You will cut yourself to smithereens, they are not easy to use.
As a side story the Carolina Panthers football team now has a transsexual cheerleader.
That's going to go over real well when the fans in the stands find out :)
