Any durable double edged razors at the sub £50 mark?
Any durable double edged razors at the sub £50 mark?
Hi wet shave dudes,
I've been shaving my head with a DE razor for a few years now. I've had a few cheap £20 razors, but they don't seem to last me very long.
On one the butterfly mecanism broke. My next was a 3 piece, which I dropped and the chrome chipped off. They were both Parker razors.
After some research, seems the way to go for durability is steel, but steel razors (e.g. rockwell 6s) tend to be above £100.
I'm not sure I'd be OK dropping that kind of money, so I wanted to ask: is there a good durable DE around £50?
Some razors are marketed as "tripple chromed". Are they any better?
Cheers

I have a hard time believing steel razor handles are more expensive. It is more that luxury brands have luxury prices.

A set of stainless steel cutlery isn't super expensive for example.

It's just the missing economy of scale, I reckon.
