That's what we ALL say, we change to save money....then fall down the rabbit hole. I spent under $50 to go back to wet shaving, then started collecting a coupe of different soaps, and a nicer brush, then other razors. Better than a dozen razors, 10-12 soaps, and 6 brushes later, not to mention the various pre-shave oils, aftershaves, and balms, I've spent some money.
I've had to use my Harry's razor a couple of times while traveling and didn't find the experience all that revolting. I got a fairly decent shave, just not nearly as much fun. Until I figure out all the logistics of traveling with the gear, the Harry's razor will be fine. As for that saving money thing...
Actually, you can buy DE blades for less than 9 cents each, and I use them for about 5-7 shaves. That's a big savings for me over Gillette Fusion cartridges, which are supposed to be good for 30 shaves, and actually can be used that long or even longer, but ime are no longer at their best after 15 or 20 shaves. No knock on people who use the Fusion, I did myself for many years. It's really a personal thing and hard to generalize.I didn’t start to save money. How can you when you toss a DE blade every week or sooner and your cartridge razors were lasting 60 days?

Many blades are $9-$10 for 100, and less than 9 cents each for larger quantities. 100 last me about a year and a half. Gillette Fusion cartridges would cost me over three times more at $3.25 even if I used them for 60 days. YMMV, but for me it isn't even close.I’ve never been so lucky to get much under 35 cents per day for the cheapest. At that and 7 shaves each. That’s $3 vs $3.25 for a cartridge, but I do get 60 shaves out of a cartridge.
Maybe in crazy quantities you can get 9 cents per blade? I’d wind up not using most of them. In any event, at 35 cents per week, cost isn’t an issue. Nice clean shaves and having fun is though.

60 days? 60 days? Seriously?
I never got more than 5 or 6 shaves from a cartridge.
