I use a Fusion Proglide with the trackball handle. Gives a boringly awesome and effortless shave for me. I don't hate carts I just hate their price. The artisan soaps and creams with a good brush is what I will never give up. That is what makes the difference for me.
What cartridge razor would you use if you couldn't use a safety razor?

Cartridge razors suck so bad. I use one occasionally when I travel and they mutilate my face. I really don't know how they ever got popular. I suppose if you have a really light, soft beard they would work OK. Even with multiple ATG passes I don't get a smooth shave and my fact feels like I used sandpaper to rub the whiskers off.
I would switch to a straight razor before going back to cartridges.

My first razor when I became of shaving age was the Atra, but I liked the Schick Tracer the best. Wilkinson Sword had a three blade version called the Tech 3 sold at Walmart but then was discontinued. That led me into DE razors.
What cartridge? Probably a .357 SIG. Thank goodness we can use safety razors.

Proglide. Really good razor and if you dry it off right away, and store it in away from humidity, lasts one month.
ProGlide or Trac II if I couldn't use a DE.
It'd be interesting to try my Schick Hydro 3 with a shaving brush and cream.
Atra or Trac II. Not sure I could justify going all the way to disposables.
Gillette Sensor or Harry's mail order. Both give me excellent shaves in half the time of my safety razors.
I guess I'd get one of those chrome over brass Trac II handles and bulk buy Personna twin-bladed cart heads online. I've never actually used cartridge razors, primarily because they've been overpriced for as long as I've been shaving. Honestly, I probably would just grow a beard and only shave when absolutely necessary (for job interviews and such).
