I draw the line at a "cut-throat" razor :-) The Gillette Mach 3 Turbo

I use disposables, Gillette Blue II Slalom. Are the ones with
disposable blades worth the extra cost?

In some cases the blades are identical. I use the blades from twin
swivel disposables in a nicely balanced metal Gillette (forget what
model but it's a few years old now). The heavier handle and a decent
shaving gel are worth more than the higher cost of "disposable" blades
to fit the handle.

Razors are like ink-jet printers. The sell you the razor with a couple
of blades then rip you off for the consumables.
