New to the game, need suggestions that won't break the bank.

I am new to this and want to know what is the best way to go about it that wouldn't break the bank. I have used Gillette use and throw ones but those don't feel good and I used a simple one that my friend has where you change the blade and that was soooo smooth it felt effortless to shave. I need something like that but not so expensive than I can't sustain it. I recently got my first job and wanted to go independent in small ways like this.

Thank you.
