Somewhat related: I simply buy a small pack of quality multi-blade razors, and keep them sharp using a silicone rubber strop (the Blade Buddy, easily found online). Each razor lasts at least a month, often more, and that’s up against my very coarse and thick whiskers. My shaving budget is this pretty close to zero.
Drying the razor after use is also crucial.

- dharmon 7y agoAlong these lines, a good shave soap + brush, and shaving after I shower means each blade lasts me forever. I still use Mach3's cause I change them maybe 3-4 times a year. I also do a quick rough shave, then re-lather up my face to get it more carefully, so there's not a lot of pressure on the blade to be super sharp.
