There is a better way. Wet shaving is how your grandpa did it, and also Hemingway. It will cost you more up front to buy the gear. But it will save you money in the long run. Here are the 7 things you need to buy so you can shave like a real man.
1. A heavy, double-edged safety razor. Get a long-handled version if you have big hands.

2. A silvertip badger hair brush. The stiff hair helps soften your beard.

That’s right, badger. How many brushes will they get out of this one?

3. A good shave mug. Don’t use a coffee cup.
Colonel Conk Shave Mug Model 129
4. Shave soap. Pricey soap is nice but the cheap stuff works just as well.

5. Razor blades. Buy the variety pack and test them all. 100 blades for $25 on Amazon. I like the Feather Platinum.

6. Quality after shave. Or Old Spice.

7. A stand. Not absolutely necessary, but it looks cool and keeps brush and blade dry.

Then, learn to shave. Like Mr. Fassbender does it. It will take some practice.
