I’ve long used Gillette Fusion razors, pretty good quality, normally buy them on sale etc, I’ve also used the 6 blade Dollar Shave Club razors before and they are pretty good too.
Does anyone know any cheap generic blades that are similar quality, I bought some blades that looked like Gillette fusion on aliexpress one time and they were very blunt compared to originals and chucked them out, but I would think in this day and age making cheap decent razor blades wouldn’t be that hard?
Safety razor. Even at brick and mortar prices, it’s $1 per blade which lasts about a week. Buy online and it’s even cheaper.
I buy the Russian blades, like a few bucks for a pack of 100. I can't recommend safety razors though, not a very good or convenient shave. Wish I bought a good electric shaver instead.
Hm. It definitely takes a while longer to shave with a safety razor than electric which I get can be inconvenient. But I find the quality of the shave second to none.
I just like how old fashioned it is. 100 years ago magazines would have had ads for this exact product. Homer uses a safety razor in early Simpsons episodes.
Does safety Razer's works like Asian men like me with stubby thin hairs? I got a bit of sensitive skin so I don't want to cut or irritate my skin
I don’t see why not. I find it less irritating than a mach3, so probably fine.
Merkur 34c. Gillette silver blue blades (everyone has a different preference on blades though). TOBS sandalwood soap (proraso for cheaper option).

Pays for itself pretty quick. Can skip the brush and soap and just use a can if you still want.
Even cheaper to just not shave.
Yes but what of us that can only manage a moustache like the magikarp salesman?
Safety razor. I recommend a handle that twists open so it's easier to clean / replace the razor blades.
Any safety razor blade can be resharpened at least 100 times or more before needing to be thrown out.
1 standard Gillette safety blade lasts me year or more before I throw it out.

These are just like running old non-safety(cut throat razors blades) on piece of leather to get them as sharp as brand new.
Like straight out of the box again and again
I have been waiting for this question all my life.
a) i don't use shaving cream
b) i use my spouses razor blades once shes dont with them.
so there. free razors - for me.
In the effort to minimise waste and spending; electric or a straight edge.
I've tried a few safety razors including the Rockwell, 6C and 6S but am getting the best results so far from a Weishi adjustable using Feather, Permasharp or Rubi blades. Only need to use the shaver on 1-2 level, anything more is a bit too scrapy for me.

I use and would recommend the “Calibre 6” blades from Aldi - https://www.aldi.com.au/en/groceries/beauty/beauty-detail/ps…
$2.25 per blade, but they seem to last for weeks.
Thanks everyone, not sure if I want to go to the safety blade route and deal with more cuts just to save a few dollars. I use the razor pit to sharpen my 5 blade, kind of extends it a bit more nothing amazing though.
The aldi ones look good, I’ll have to give them a try.
Man members swear by safety razors, super cheap
