Default Razor blades - extortion or what?

but it seems every 5 mins there's new blade with even more edges on it

Here's a tip: Cheap single-bladed disposables.

If you didn't shave over the weekend, then the bristles are a bit
longer and the 47-bladed ten-quid-a-shave TurboMax clogs solid and
works badly. Shave first with the cheapest and cheeriest from the
supermarket bargain bin. It works _better_. You can always give it a
polish off with the hydra-headed beasty afterwards.

Oh, and "King of Shaves" shaving oil is everything they claim of it.
You really do only need 3 drops. Amazing stuff.
