That looks suspicious (already the name triggers all my do not buy alerts). The cheapest stainless steel razors I would trust (materialwise) would be from Yaqi (check on Aliexpress in the Yaqi factory store) – though I don’t know how they shave.
Otherwise, I have a Greencult II stainless steel razor, which is produced in Austria, and comes in at 99€ – which is the cheapest non-Chinese SS razor I am aware of (shipping was free to France, AFAIR).
If durability is the sole issue, Fatip has plated bronze razors at price points you only get zamac for otherwise. Bronze is similarly durable to stainless steel – but local metallurgy experts @djundjila@sub.wetshaving.social or @gcgallant@sub.wetshaving.social might correct me on this.
The Razorock razors seem to be sold in both an aluminum and stainless steel versions for different prices obviously. Though their stainless razors all seem to be ~$60 usd.
For a safety razor, I don’t think durability is a factor in real terms. Zamak razors can provide many years of use. From a practical standpoint, you’ll pay more for stainless, bronze, or brass. These are heavier and feel better (if you like heavier), but safety razor performance is unrelated to material or cost. I assert that it is mostly related to technique.

Fatip are plated brass, not bronze. Great metal either way.
My favorite Fatip is the Gentile.
I stand corrected!
