Double Edge Safety razors are my go-to products to get a clean shave, e.g.:
There are some very good designs from Merkur, this is one of my razors

The original Merkur design patent ran out and this factory produces the highest quality at a very fair price.

Good blades on the market are Merkur, Feather or comparable brands.

 

I swear by Merkur 34C, astra blades, a badger brush and a good shaving lotion. Had the worst ache before I started using that combo and afterwards it got much less aggressive

 

Would second this 100%. Made the switch about a year ago and have fallen in love with my shaving routine.

I will say, German razors and British shaving cream go great together. I've been using various Taylor of Old Bond Street creams for the past couple years (liked the Eton College the most), and have heard good things about Truefitt And Hill and Geo. F. Trumper, would be great to check them out in person in London one day.

Bought this myself about a year ago. I was super into single blade and buying good shaving cream... I cut myself about 3 times every time though so I ended up returning it lol. Great razor if you're good at shaving with a single edge.

Gets around quick, cost efficient, environmental friendly, good quad workout, and easily collapsable to carry on the subway

I used Cherry Mx Reds (on a Korean-made Leopold FC980M) until I added a keyboard which uses Topre Silent 45g capacitive switches (Japanese-made Realforce R2 PFU Limited Edition)

My mouse is a Razer Basilisk Ultimate though because I like the form factor

Be excellent to each other, and party on, dudes.
 

Depends on whether you are working at a BB or EB. I would say the Gillette Mach3 (Either standard or turbo) would serve you fine. If you are working for an EB-think Moelis,etc- I would consider a Phillips Norelco as a viable option. Its impossible to give good advice with so little information. Anyone posting about how bankers use the same razors as normal people clearly have never worked in banking before. Whoever wrote this clearly has offers at top banks...

P.S, shaving cream is usually dependent on what city you work in.  

 

a straight razor with a tassel with your bank's colors

you can also tie a stolen strap off the banker bag of a competing bank around it

it has to have flare though

Shaving is one of my hobbies and even with working remotely the gentlemen in our team shave daily.
These are the razors I am using mostly.

This one is stainless steel, so it won't chip easily. https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_9GmGSP

This is my backup razor, the one I grab if the other one is not cleaned or not longer sharp and I am too lazy to change the blades :D

I personally like the Razor A2 Scooter, as it's a classic. But for bankers I think the T25 Electric is the way to go - it has virtually all of the bells and whistles of the E-XR model but features a slicker profile, which I think looks nicer. The LED headlight should help you get home in the late hours of the night, and the 250-watt motor will get you back to the office before the staffer even notices you were gone.
