I'm about ready to make the switch to a safety razor and ditch the Schick disposibles I've been using. Any suggestions for a butterfly safety razor that's not going to cost $40-50 and blades for a beginner? I won't be going the whole badger brush/soap/bowl route, instead I'll continue using my shave butter.

I purchased these a while back. I polish them to a mirror shine and exclusively wear them with a suit. I'm getting ready to polish them and was thinking to myself, I spent quite a bit of money on these to only wear once a blue moon. They seem too dressy to wear with anything else though. I thought it best to ask the rakish gentlemen here for advice. What would you style these with were they your boots?

...so that means breakfast out and a chance to dress well again.
