Yeah, I looked into straight razors when I first started wet shaving and my conclusion is that it's more of a hobby than a practical way of shaving. It's easy to see why people immediately switched to safety razors as soon as they were invented. Also, as you imply above, most of the ones you can buy today are mass produced trash
My razor is all metal, lasts forever (over ten years at this point), and razor blades cost practically nothing. Straight edge razors are cool though and will give you a a really good shave if you have a quality blade and are skilled with them
They do last forever. I regularly shave with razors as old as the 1940s, but mostly the 1960's.
