They became popular because everyone needed to speed up life... it was marketed as a safer faster way to shave.

I haven't used a cartridge razor in over 2 years.
The cost savings is something I considered when I first started shaving with a safety razor, but I soon realized shaving with a safety razor was something I really enjoyed and I take my time and enjoy my shaves a lot more now. I have more shave gear / creams / soaps then I ever would have had if I would have stayed with cartridges.

So for me the safety razor is more expensive but I enjoy my time especially weekends when I can spend extra time getting a really nice shave.
