If you want to get value buy a German Mekur razor and safety single blades. There is a reason Gillette does not want to use these. They are universal, they are downright cheap!

A Mekur razor is 40.00 for the holder while the blades are 5 to 10 cents each. This is the razor that replaced the straight razor and you could buy at any dime store from the 1900s to the early 1970s. Then Gillette hit upon the the cartridge razor.

All of these razors and handles are available from Amazon.
