I think this is the right path to choose. In fact, if I could go back, this is how I would have done it.

I suggest looking for a decent "shave ready" razor in the classifieds for a reasonable price. There are always razors popping up under $50 that will probably shave as good as razors 5 times that amount.

You will also need a strop and there are cheap options out there.
