What blades do you use?
I got free from the food bank the Gillette Fusion Proglide Power and decided to stick with it. The cartridges are expensive as fuck, but even at 30x the price it still beats the safety razor experience.

i have receding hairline, and my hair started falling off
problem is, remaining hairs are very coarse and i basically need to spend 1 cassette of mac 3 for each head shave
are there any decent electric razors on the market that will allow me to get close shave on my head? tried safety razors, my head shape is kinda irregular so i cut myself a lot

Superslim if i need a full smooth shave. Otherwise i mostly use the beard trimmer for EVERY thing(including body grooming)

One blade works better than the trimmer, but it takes longer and the blades wear out faster(beard trimmer blades legit last for 5 years before it becomes uncomfortable to use. The oneblade ones dont even make it to 5 MONTHS)

I only shave my face once a week, and my head once or twice a month, so even at the price of the multi-blades, it beats the "safety" razor. Trying to decide if I should buy a luxury handle for my Proglide.

Did you also get a few gallons of onions milk to go with it? To help grow out the peachfuzz?

Seriously though, thats fucking ridiculous. Double eged razors are unquestionably better if you learn how to use them properly and the same amount of razors would have literally been less than $5... So why the fuck not just learn to shave properly? I can understand if its something in the back of your head where you never have the time to do it... but if you put the time and capital behind getting a 'good' deal on bulk cartridge razors, than you obviously have the time to learn to use a safety razor(Took me maybe 5 shaves at 10 mins each, to get better than a typical mach3 shave, to be able to do it in under 5 minutes.)
