I don't know where you're getting your $100 from. A cheap handle cost me $15.00, is perfectly functional. I've been using the same one for 5 years. I buy blades at 2 - 5 cents apiece on Amazon, and they last me the same amount of time that a more expensive quadruple blade costs. It doesn't take me 10 minutes to lather either, and I've used both shaving cream and shave soap without problems. I have an extremely heavy beard too.
