You could potentially shave whilst in the shower if you have a mirror you could stick onto the tiles :)
 
Noob question, was thinking about these for ages, but can't help but wonder what it's like shaving around the neck/ Adams apple, is it a time with practise thing?

My grandfather had one of the safty razors would love to find it, also he used a cut throat before using it.

I have cut myself with a mach 3! Lesson learnt there :) i had a few little teeny nicks where I passed over a bit again that had already had the cream taken off, but nothing major. It feels very natural with the balance etc, gained a lot of confidence by the end! I used absolutely no pressure beyond what was being generated by the (very decent) weight of the razor, almost holding it limp as I pulled it :)

I have to shave with the grain on my neck to avoid in grown hairs, generally do 3 passes in total so 1st pass down all the way, 2nd pass ear to nose across my face except my neck which I do with the grain. 3rd pass is against the grain again except my neck.
 
Does anyone travel with one of these?

The reason I ask is I spend a lot of time traveling with work and although this would be awesome at home just wondering if they anyone uses them while away and any tips.

Yea, I have the Merkur travel razor. It unscrews to three parts, largest is about 2 inches long. To be honest the razor itself is fine, its all the bits and bobs you have to take with you that takes up more space, travel soap for example isnt small, I've also been looking at a travel specific brush but it's a little too pricey, the one I have been using while travelling isn't very good though as it was part of a set.
 
Can anyone recommend a good safety razor like the one in the 1st post on this page for around £20? Or it that too low and would I be better off spending a little bit more and getting something better?

Sick of my crappy Mach 3.

Nope, I like taking my time in front of a mirror with no distractions like the water from the shower head splashing everywhere.

In front of the sink is the way to do it.

I'm on my second feather blade atm, used it for 10 shaves and still got a great shave today. When should i change it? I have 98 left to use.
