Comment on Any durable double edged razors at the sub £50 mark?

I really like the Fatip Gentile. It’s on the medium side of mild, so I assume it might be good for head shaving? I still get very close shaves from it despite not having a lot of blade feel. Nice efficiency.
As @djundjila@sub.wetshaving.social mentioned, Fatip razors are made from brass, so even if the chrome chips off (I do suggest chrome as it’s more durable than nickle or gold) it won’t be bothered by water.
The only downside to Fatip is the blade might need to be manually aligned before you tighten everything down. It doesn’t bother me at all, but might bother you.
Another option is a RazoRock Game Changer, which actually seems to be in stock right now. Hmmm, I might actually grab one.

I’m starting to think that a brass chromed razor is the way to go. Edwin Jagger DE89 is cheap and replacement heads can be bought cheaply in the UK too.
Maybe later in life, a stainless razor.

You might also consider vintage razors, a lot of them are brass and they’ve stood the test of time to get this far.
Alternatively, if what you really want is machined stainless you can probably get it for that price from dscosmetic or yaqi on AliExpress. They have many models so it’d be worth searching out some reviews.
