There are different types of razors.

Gillette double-edge safety razor blades are about 0.10 USD each. Gillette cartridge razors are about 6 USD each.

The former is "expensive razor handle, cheap blades". The latter is "cheap razor handle, expensive blades". The more expensive cartridge razors don't provide a superior shave, but are much much safer to use.

A safety razor handle costs as much as a pack of cartridge razor blades.

The keywords to lookup would be "wet shaving" to find out more about the safety razors.

You say that like double edge blades are super unsafe. At worst if you are unskilled you end up with a minor cut which you just stick a band aid over and are perfectly fine.
