I have only used 3 razors in my ,almost,40 years of shaving with a DE razor:
The , expensive, Gillette Fatboy from the 60s my father gave me in 1980 when I started shaving shaved great...
That is until 2000 when I forgot to take it with me during a yearly stay in Berlin during which I bought a , cheaper,Merkur 34c...
That shaved me BETTER than the Fatboy...so it became my main razor (I kept the FB as a backup but never really used it again)
That is until this Christmas when my wife gifted me an,even cheaper,Fatip picolo that shaves me even better,and faster,than the 34c...so now I have TWO backups ,that I don't think I will ever use again since the Fatip kills them performance wise..
I don't know if an even cheaper DE razor will shave me better ,I guess in 2035 I will give it a try
