Same here. I got a Merkur HD about 6 months ago. The initial investment is a bit high, but I wouldn't be surprised if it has already paid off. The blades I got are ~$0.25 each, and last about 1-2 months if cared for.
More than that, though, the shave is just all around superior. It baffles me that people shave with Mach 3s or electric razors.
