I got into "wet shaving" a couple years ago. I still have all my stuff and still occasionally use my safety razor. I've also upgraded my kit with a straight razor so I can get really nice straight beard/necklines if I want to put in the effort.The straight razor uses the same disposable blades so it's very convenient. I don't go all out every day, there's a lot of technique involved and I usually just clean up my neck with a cheaper razor. But it's nice to have the kit to pamper myself if I want.
I'd disinfect before/after every use personally but I don't use mine every day. It's pretty simple, just soak it all in some isopropyl alcohol for a few minutes then wipe everything down. The blades are dirt cheap so there's no reason to hang onto them, they start dulling pretty quickly.
Enjoy the shave! It can be a pretty wholesome, meditative experience, may your blades never be dull.
