    Safety razor. Bought one for 30 EUR over a decade ago, and it’s showing no signs of wear. Razor blades are cheap too. I have no clue why razors with proprietary blades are so popular nowadays.

      Inherited mine from my grandfather, so about 70 years old and still in great condition. Simplicity lasts! Spent E 17,50 to shave 5 years 👌

      Same here, bought a luxury safety razor for €79 with 50 blades. Alas, it’s adjustable and that mechanic failed. Got a gilette version from the 60s and that’s stoll fully functional, but the new one (qshave) is heavier and nicer to use. Bought a 20 pack of 10pc feather blades with it as well, 14 packs left. (280 weeks of shaving)

      The type of razor is working out greatly, I just need to find a way to repair the qshave unit.
