I second the option of a vintage razor if budget is an issue. They are available in great condition, shave well and stood the test of time. Plus, they’re easy to get shiny and clean again if you desire so with just a toothbrush and dish soap and an ultrasonic cleaner bath afterwards.

BakerBagel@midwest.social 1 week agoEnded up going with a Parker Variant as well as an open comb Maggard head to experiment with on the bevel handle.
I would love to upgrade to something nicer, but I’m stretched thin and don’t have the budget right now unfortunately.

Another option for something more durable, but still affordable, would be a vintage Gillette razor.
The tech or super speed can be found for pretty cheap on auction sites like eBay. They shave great, are made out of brass, and are very durable.
