In this world, though, coming across as an unkempt schlub won't do anything good for your career, your social life, or your luck with that cute guy or gal from marketing.

I agree but please add brushing your teeth and mouthwash to the list.

Double Edge razors the simplest and cheapest option for sure. But don't rule out straights. Yes, you have to buy some equipment (good razor, strop and sharpening hones) but you can find all this stuff used online. And once you've got it, there are no recurring costs.It's not hard to find a good, shave-ready straight for $25 - $40 on the shaving forums. (Used, of course.) The other equipment can also be found cheaply. The biggest question is whether you want to face the learning curve. Takes a certain amount of dedication, but once you've got it right, it's great fun.If you'd rather take the Double Edge route, an old Gillette Tech is a great starter razor. Cheap, light and gentle. Relatively easy transition from a modern plastic razor.

I used to use the same thing, but later found that the old-school double edge razors gave a lot better shave. It is even more enjoyable if you use some good shaving cream or soap and a shaving brush. The blades are hella cheap if you order them online, razorandbrush.com seems to have the best selection and prices. It usually comes out to about 15 to 50 cents per blade. A puck of shaving soap from the local drugstore is what, 2 or 3 bucks and lasts a long time. Closer shaves + less expensive = a pretty good deal.
