Pears bar soap works great. I use a Merkur razor, and at the moment,
Persona blades from Amazon. Buying in lots of 100 blades, they are cheap
as heck. 100 blades lasts me a long time!

Pretty much the same here though I use a wwII vintage instead of a Merkur.
used to get one shave per blade till I decided to remove from the razor,
wipe dry and to NOT reload till next time, doubt it costs more than a penny
a shave now days.
