I’ve gone to a Merkur Merkur 34C safety razor like my grandfather used. I probably will only use 10-15 dollars in blades per year. Shaves just fine. One blade. A lot of people are going back to these.
I have the same razor and love it. Use Feather blades and Prorasso shave cream. Best shave I’ve ever had.
That’s what I use, the Merkur 34C, and with Wilkinson Sword safety blades. Great shave.
