If you like a super close shave with minimal fuss for very little money, I can confirm that nothing beats a double-edged safety razor. A decent properly-weighted handle is maybe $30 tops and you can splurge on super high quality blades. There are several variety packs on Amazon you can use to get a feel for what brands and types of blades work best for you. When used correctly with fresh quality blades you will not get razor burn. In quantity the blades are so cheap you can use a new one ever few shaves and not even care.
However... on a total whim I picked up one of the Philips Norelco OneBlade face + body starter packs. Wife likes it because the cut hairs are less sharp when they start growing back and I like it because it's plenty close for me and I get zero razor burn ever. More expensive, but it's a solid product. Still cheaper in the long run than Gillette for sure.
