Seconded. Been wetshaving for nearly two decades now. Always nice to see people waking up to the scam. Multi-blade cartridge style razors are way too expensive, wasteful, and actually promote a less comfortable shave.

The initial investment *can be* a little steep. $20-$30 for a vintage SuperSpeed in good condition, $50-$80 for a nice badger brush, $15 for a blade sampler to figure out which blade your face likes, and $10-$15 for soap. But you can always start with just the handle and blades and whatever can-o-foam you already have and get the brush/soap later on.

Of course if you end up being a "collector" it can get very expensive. But even then, at least you'll still get a better quality shave than those cartridge razors.
