I've resorted to these too.
Those multi-bladed things get clogged up within a couple of swipes of my ginger stubble. Safety razors never get clogged and you don't have to worry about forking out a fiver on the wrong kind of heads as they're all the same. If you're traveling around the world then they're pretty universal too.
Might try a proper cut-throat razor next year.
