Welcome aboard Steve.

Some years back, I recall a gent that suffered from tremors in his hands that negatively affected his ability to use shaving tools of his preference.

Below is a link to a product that he liked very much due to the blade having guards and the fact that it had a pivoting head to control shave angles for him. It is a single blade cartridge type razor that comes at a low cost.

It may be something you wish to look at for those days you find extra challenging.

Welcome to The Cadre! One DE you might look into is a Vintage Wilkinson Sticky. It has a rubberized grip that makes it easier to hold onto.
 
Welcome Steve, happy to have you here.
You've told us a bit about the razor(s) you have used and plan to use going forward BUT you haven't told us anything about your favorite soaps, brushes and aftershaves...we LOVE to hear about those things.
 


A big welcome to any Steve's. We Steve's have to stick together.......you'll find we're out numbered by Dave's
