This isn't really a money saving tip - if you follow /r/wicked_edge's advice, you'll end up spending loads on badger-hair brushes and other unnecessary shaving paraphernalia.
If you really want to save money, buy a cheap double-edge razor (such as this or this, if you want something metal), then buy lots of razor blades in one go. I use these ones, but any with fairly good reviews will do. Use a gel/foam/soap of your choice and you're set. The blades will probably last you a couple of years and the razor should hopefully last a year, if not more.
I bought http://www.amazon.co.uk/SF200-Shaving-Factory-Safety-Shaving-Blades/dp/B003DM0X04/ref=sr_1_11?s=drugstore&ie=UTF8&qid=1346887191&sr=1-11
for 20 quid a few few extra small packs of blades to find a blade I like (I'm an Astra or Supermax man I've found out) as the blades are one of the most important things in shaving and one aspect where price doesnt make much of a difference and it's not worth buying a pack of 100 if you arent going to like using them.
The brush is fine and functional, the razor will last years and the soap has lasted so long i find it hard to believe.
One day I probably will invest in a very nice shaving set and demote this to a travel razor and brush but currently it does me well.
I’ve been through a LOT of mascaras cheap and expensive and I have found the best drugstore one by far is Maybelline the lift- this is the one and it’s only £6ish https://www.amazon.co.uk/Maybelline-Mascara-Volum-Express-Black/dp/B002BNKQ0I and it doesn’t smudge!
The Merkur 34c link tightens the blade down at the bottom of the handle. I grown a thick beard and after a weekend I'll tighten the blade until it's just tight then back it off a tiny bit (like 2-3 degrees) this leaves a little slack between the head and the razor so it doesnt "pull" when I shave. If it "drags" just tighten it back a little.
I also have a handle that tightens at the top and it sucks for me on Monday because I cant leave that space.
I have no doubt that this razor will last a better part of my life. It is made well and I can't think how I could break it. Hopefully that clears things up
