Cheap safety razors

I have been reading the posts here for a while and I got a DE based on the ravings of how good they are and I love it. My problem is I don't feel like I can shave properly with it as it is a very light razor. It cost less than a tenner.

I'm wanting to upgrade to a weightier metal DE but I don't have much cash to spare. I'd be looking for a good razor for under 20 bucks.
Can anyone recomend any? Or even where to look for one's that price?

Seems to be out of stock at the moment, but shaving.ie usually have the Edwin Jagger DE89L for under €25. My current razor, really liking it.

Under €20 and a great finish to the razor head.

Edwin Jagger DE86 Ebony

(shaving.ie) http://www.shaving.ie/products/Edwin-Jagger-DE86-Ebony.html

Same head as the Mühle R106, as far as I know. Nice, classic 3 piece too. Can be taken apart for transport, change of handle etc..

So which razor would best suit me as a step up from the wilkinson sword?

I'm leaning towards the Merkur 34C 'HD' or the Edwin Jagger DE89L.
I'm not sure about the Edwin-Jagger-DE86-Ebony, I don't quite like the look of it.

I think the DE89L and DE86 have the same head, they certainly look similar in photographs. Again, I'll mention that I'm a big fan of my 89. Ultimately, the choice is yours.
