I'm a student and it can cost sooooooo much.
Do you guys have a website or some retail stores in Canada that sells good bundles for a cheap price ? And I insist on the word cheap.

here in Texas I get the cartridges for my M5 razor at local grocery store (HEB) $5.88 for a package of 5 cartridges. Last for bit more than a month as I change once a week.

The cheapest for me is to use a Double Edge (DE) Safety Razor. I use a Gillette Super Speed (Black Handle) and I get razors at Walmart. They are Wilkinson brand and a pack of 10 is something like $1.74! One blade will usually last me for about a week. Although, some people switch out their blades everyday, at $1.74 for 10, it ain't that bad! You can pick up a new DE razor on the interwebs (just google DE razor) or you can buy vintage on ebay and check craigslist. I hope this helps!

If you can get proficient with a DE, not only are the blades cheaper, but the shave is incredibly close. It takes a little time and effort to learn, but it's worth it. Walgreen's and Harmon both sell the Wilkinson Sword blades for under $2.

Try The Italian Barber ( http://www.italianbarber.com/razor-blades (http://www.italianbarber.com/razor-blades)) unless you can get DE blades cheaper through Amazon
