The Safety Razor came about through a series of inventions that led to the current form. The modern double edged safety razor form was patented by King Camp Gillette in 1904.
Before cheap disposable stamped blades, razors were maintained by stropping and honing, so Gillette made the lack of stropping a selling point, as in this 1905 ad.

I'd personally say it's better because it's just better. It being cheaper (and also way more environmentally friendly) is just a bonus
I get a much better shave with a single blade safety razor than any of the multi-blade plastic disposable head razors I've used over the years.
I'm currently using a Mühle and it's the best razor situation I've ever had
