I hate paying ridiculous prices for razors and I’ve tried most of the non-premium options over the years. I’m currently using the new 5 blade one from Aldi and it suits me perfectly. I don’t have tough stubble and I get a clean shave with little or no rash and they last a long time before needing to change them. At less than a fiver for 4 cartridges they are a bargain.

After buying the Aldi 5 blade razor I had a shave and my face looked as though I'd shaved with broken glass. I emailed Aldi customer services to complain I wasn't satisfied with their razors with 2 attached photos and they just said to go in my local store for a refund. This was only last year. It's not as though I have soft skin after shaving close to 40 years. Maybe they suit your skin mate but I'll never use them again.

I have shaved with Sainsbury's own brand 6 blade razors and I found them a good shave.

But thanks largely to @blueinsa and @Bluemanc100 I've took advice on opting to buy a quality single blade razor and separate Feather and Derby blades. I'll probably take a few nicks and cuts till I master the art but going backwards from expensive rip off Gillette cartridges to a quality single blade razor seems a logical way forward.
 
Think about what a 3 or 5 blade razor does.

First blade cuts some hairs but also pushes others down flat so that any blades coming after dont get to cut anything and just cause irritation and ingrowing hairs and spots and rash.

Marketing bullshit and a waste of time and money.

Single blade is all you and your face will ever need and saves you a fucking fortune.

You’ll be amazed how effortless it is even with a few days growth , shaving became an experience for me and not a chore..

I typically go with 3 passes which really doesn’t take long once your get into the routine

My top tip, apply light pressure only and plan blade changes.. a dull or used blade is the most dangerous for nicks believe it or not

Not sure my Feather AS-D2 razor was cost effective but i’d seriously recommend one if a safety razor is for you... the quality is amazing... it’s Japanese after all and they know how to make blades and engineer stuff
