    I’ve been looking to eliminate disposable plastic razors but yikes those prices are steep! Are they permanently sharp or something? There is zero info on their website unless I’m missing something

      It was mainly a joke. Just thinking of the most expensive, esoteric, unattainable maker I could think of from back in my r/wetshaving days. Safety razors are the best way to shave, but just about anything will do great

      For what it’s worth I’ve used the same merkur safety razor for around a decade with feather blades I only had to replace every several weeks when I had a coarse beard. I use the same on my legs now and it still works amazing. Best shave I’ve ever had, since my beard was too cowlicked to use a straight razor. They’re easy to use, give a closer shave than cartridge razors, and they’re way less irritating. You totally don’t have to spend $300 if you don’t want to.

      It’s a fancy handle (admittedly, very fancy) for safety razor blades or double edge blades. The blades themselves are generic/interchangeable and a lot cheaper.
