I'm way too chicken for a straight razor, plus way too time crunched most mornings.

But I did buy a Merkur safety razor:

Plus a nice badger bristle brush and real save soap...not that drugstore stuff out of a can. The difference is amazing. I pay pennies for replacement blades and no more razor burn! Of course there is a little learning curve, and the first time you use it you'll probably end up looking like you shaved with a chainsaw, but after a couple days you get the hang of it.

I wouldn't go back to shaving any other way!
