I dumped cartridges for a DE (double edged) razor 2 years ago. Best shaves Ive ever had. Much closer than ANY cartridge. 10c per blade (box of 100 is $10 on Amazon and a good DE razor runs about $30-40). Replace the blade about 1/week.
I switched from a Norelco to a DE about the same timeframe. Got an old 50's razor off ebay.
Used an electric for decade because they were supposedly better for your skin, but I find the DE gives less ingrown hairs and skin irritation.
I've nicked myself twice in two years (and in the same spot) being in a hurry after oversleeping. But I'd never go back to electric or multiblade.
There's something appealing about shaving the same way as my father and grandfather did, and a nice metal razor just feels better than a disposable plastic dodad.

Amen!
I too find that I only nick myself when I rush.
