Buy a DE safety razor. The initial razor isn’t as cheap as some other options but blades are dirt cheap. The standard recommendation for a safety razor is the Merkur 34C, though I’ve never used it. I’m currently using the Henson AL13 and it’s fantastic, plus it’s made in Canada which was the main selling point for me. My wife loves the AL13 too, she has super sensitive skin plus a lot of skin issues and she hasn’t had any problems shaving with it, where she would normally have burning and itching for days. It’s not on the cheaper end but also not luxury prices either.
what do you use?

That’s what I have. I just get irritation using it, likely a skill issue, but I do have sensitive skin.
I love my Henson also.
I’m super lazy and don’t use shaving cream or oil. But I can easily shave after showering with just water.
I had a one blade, and it worked great if you did the whole nine yards, but it sucked if you dont use shaving cream.
The Henson works better with less effort than even a 5 blade imo
