    I'm looking to get a cheaper razor for travel. Taking any suggestions, I have sort of sensitive skin so I want something decent that won't shred my face up. I use a Merkur HD and muhle r89. Weishi??

    I'd recommend a Gillette Tech. The Ball End Tech is readily available on Ebay and at antique shops, inexpensive, and a mild shaver.

    I travel with what I already have. A razor is a tool; if it gets lost or broken, replace it. Just don't travel with heirlooms.

    Yep, this. Take what you're used to using on the road. Just don't take something that's not replaceable.

    I take my Muhle R89 a lot. It can be replaced if it gets broken/lost/stolen. Or not, since I have other razors that shave as well now too.

    Currently I'm using a flare tip Rocket and a Boker 5/8ths spike point. I've got a couple of those Gillette Techs with the stubby handles designed for travel, but I've never liked them much, so they stay in their drawer.

    blanka I will not eat my shaving products. Promise.

    I have a Feather Portable that I used to take on every trip, but have switched to a ball end tech.
