Buy European

Wilkinson Sword.

Merkur double edged safety razor

Safety razors are pretty much as easy to use as a disposable as long as you make sure its tight before you start and its way more cheap.

Learn to use razor blades. They're better that you think and are good economically. Also, they're much more ecological. On the other hand Phillips is the opposite. I just had to throw away a oneblsde shaver because its battery died and they make them very hard to replace.

Wilkinson Sword is a 250 year old UK brand, but sadly they got bought by a American firm in 2003. They still manufacture in the UK, Germany and the Czech Republic though.

Depends on how you define "Europeans.

I can highly recommend philips oneblade. Has been one of my best product purchases in 5 years. Been really happy with it.

The only problem I have with it is that you can't use it while it's charging (it's usable in shower so that's a safety measure, and the battery lasts quite long).

Edit: I've found that single blade lasts me 3 months with almost daily use and cleaning it properly. Probably longer but I felt like 3 months was the prime amount with my usage to change.

Hey, I'm an American but I've been buying European made shaving goods for about a decade and a half.

Switch to a Merkur handle and blades. It's a far better shave and way cheaper than a cartridge razor in the long run. I personally prefer Japanese Feather blades, but I'm fairly certain Japan ain't in Europe. The Merkur blades are almost as good anyhow.

Currently using Amazon https://amzn.eu/d/dVRylZo on subscribe and save, and have done for years after being stuffed by the big two for decades. Regularly flirt with the idea of a safety razor. I used to use a now defunct mail order in mainland Europe somewhere that made their own; I'm a Brit.

Change them every twelve days but I'm old now and that happens. I was lucky if a two- to six- blade one lasted a five days to a week in my twenties.

I have oily skin, less so now, so I have difficulties with electric razors, despite several attempts. They were enclosed though by the time I learned my lesson and the open style of one blade may be a worthwhile change.

What I'm saying is that there are several factors that dictate what works and it isn't a long term thing always.

I haven't found that Gillette or Wilkinson Sword were as sharp as the Amazon.

I dumped all Gillete products years ago. I use single blade disposable Bic Metal razors, they are made in Greece. I use shampoo or whatever soap is on hand as shaving cream if my beard is long otherwise I just use hot water to shave. I do shave in the shower which helps a lot when not using shaving cream.

Boldking. Subscription based but not expensive, I get new blades in the mail every 2 months. Based in Amsterdam.

I was looking for a plastic free razor and ended up buying a Shavet https://shavent.store/ It is fairly expensive but uses multiple razor blades instead of a cartrige.
