Any good and less expensive 3rd party carts that fit Mach3 handle?

I found an old red and black Mach3 handle that I must've bought 20 years ago, in pristine condition.

Curious if there are any decent 3rd party carts for it that don't cost $2/pop.

I just stumbled across this on amazon: Amazon.com: Personna EasyFit 3 Mach3 Razor Handle Compatible Refill Cartridges –15 Count Personna EasyFit Mach3 Razor Blade Refills - Compatible Mach3 Handles Made Before 2019: Beauty - https://www.amazon.com/Personna-EasyFit-Compatible-Refill-Cartridges/dp/B06X9GV5S1 . I personally don't use cartridges anymore so can't speak to the quality (but the last ones I used were from Harry's).

I saw that, but many people are saying the razor does not stay on Mach3 handle.

Those in the Amazon link shave just like the Schick Hydro3 & are basically just the original Hydro3 cartridge. They can also be found at some USA drugstores & I think WalMart too. I tried them when they first came out. I had no issues with them coming off a Mach 3 handle.

After years of using Mach 3 razor & blades, last year I tried the drugstore brand replacement carts and they were utter garbage. I only used each one a few times and then trashed them.

For me personally, I found it more economical to "faux strop" the blades (something I saw on Youtube) on my arm and/or an old piece of denim, which is getting me about 10 shaves per cart. Way better shaves and better money spent. YMMV.

My Granddad told me in the war he would strop his blades on glass, lengthening their life for weeks.
