cruelty free razors

I'm looking for reviews of cruelty-free (not tested on animals) razors for shaving. Tell me what you use and any good/bad experiences you had with a particular brand. I'm interested in reviews from men too for my husband.
I don't shave my legs weekly or even monthly---usually only when I want to wear a skirt, shorts, or a bathing suit. But I do shave under my arms every 2-4 days.
Thanks for any advice!
No razor is cruelty-free because they always knick my knees, the little buggers. ;)
If Gilette is cruelty-free, I'd recommend the Venus razors.

haha so true, so true :D
Wow, I didn't even know they tested razors on animals. What is the point of that? Humans have been using razors ever since knives were around. I don't understand how a razor could have adverse health effects, which is the usual reason for animal testing.
I use a Mach 3. Apparently, it's for men. But, I love the close shave I get. I only ever have to go over the area once. So, no razor burn. Works great on my bikini area too.
I also didn't know razors were tested on animals... seems ridiculous.
I googled it and saw this one:

i know this is a uk website but im sure you can get them in the usa too but ive found these to be ok, i dont really like shaving at all but in so far as not scraping my skin/giving me a rash etc and the blades being good etc, these are cool :)
Check out Preserve Brand. I got them at the HFS and I think they are cruetly free. I haven't cut myself yet either-unusual!
