One razor ends the exploding cartridge budget forever.
Why Not Just Buy the Cheap One?
Cheap cartridge razors (Gillette Fusion, Mach3) cost $3–5 per refill and clog after a few shaves, while the Merkur 34C uses blades that cost under 20¢ each. Its machined brass head won't rust or crack like the plastic hinges on disposables, and it gives a closer shave with zero tugging.
The Buy-Once Math
A year of Fusion cartridges runs about $100; one Merkur 34C paired with 100 high-quality blades ($10) covers five years for under $60. That's $500 saved with zero plastic waste. Buy it once, stop feeding the razor industry.
