So I don't use DE razors (mainly because I find them to be a pain in the **** as you need to shave more slowly & carefully).
So I use cartridge razors. Tried a bunch of razors, always looking at price/quality of shave ratio.
Here is what I concluded:
3 blade disposable and over (4-5 blades) I found to be not as good and not worth it price wise.
Also tried the classic Gillette Mach 3 and found it inferior to the humble disposable Blue II and it's nearly as expensive as the Gillette Fusion.
The thing with Gillette Blue II is their blades are ridiculously sharp when new and cut the beard perfectly.
Now it's the same with any other Gillette or razor, but you don't want to replace a Gillette Fusion or Mach 3 cartridge as fast because they're so expensive. But you can with a Gillette Blue II which comes in a huge pack of cheap disposables.
Another thing I found problematic with most 3-5 blade razors (except Fusion proglide) compared to the humble disposable 2 blade, is that the 3-5 blade razors don't adapt to the contours of your face as well, and are especially bad on the chin and other such areas.
Basically, I really find a solid 2 blade disposable to be the freaking best bang for your buck in terms of razor! I like the Gillette Blue II (as its called in the EU), but I guess any other 2 blade disposable is OK (like BIC though I found BICs to be less good than Gillette).
I think the only razor which beats this is the Gillette Fusion Proglide or Power, which pretty much a fresh cartridge every week, which is freaking expensive.
Does anyone disagree?

Here is what I concluded:
- Gillette fusion proglide (or power) is best shave possible. However it's ridiculously expensive.
- So what else? The humble disposable is the best. But further, I found the 2 blade razor (I use Gillette Blue II) to be the best.
