And even if you spoil yourself with a fresh blade every time, it is still a miniscule fraction of the cost of plastic cartridge blades.

I bought a pack of razors for my straight razor a few years ago, I think I've used 20% of them since then. I think the pack cost less than 10 bucks.

I made the switch to a safety razor 15 years ago, bought two boxes of feather razor blades from Japan for 60 bucks, two hundred blades total I think. I’m halfway through the second box and I shave three times a week (I don’t mind scruff).
