It's probably bifl, but it I wouldn't say it is the cheapest bifl razor. IMO any razor that cost more than $20 is probably bifl. There are adjustable razors which let you adjust the blade gap. You start small and work your way up until you are happy, then stay there forever. That to me seems better than spending $70 on something that might be too aggressive and you are stuck with.

I'm skeptical of companies who advertise titanium this and "Aircraft Grade Aluminum" that. Just say it is neat because exotic material, don't try to justify the high prices with it is "30% lighter and 30% stronger".

Honestly this. Coming from a female perfective fyi so I've covered a lot of surface area lol over the last three years. I bought one from the brand Zomchi on amazon in brass with embedded wood handle and it has held perfectly over the last 3 years (even with leaving it in the shower on accident half the time to let in steam in our unventilated bathroom lol) and looks the same as the day I bought it. All the pieces are easy to get apart so everything can be cleaned independently. Safety razors are innately simple in design as many have noted here so I don't think you have to get a something super expensive to get a long lasting item. Maybe just look into whatever metal is your preference.
