I just dry shave (safety razor) and it seems to work well for me. Less hassle + blades don't rust so they last longer

I also heard that the blades can be sharpened by running it against trousers or something like that, so it is possible to reuse them / extend their lifespan

It's called honing and you can hone a blade on a piece of leather, like an old belt. It's not sharpening per se, but it keeps the little burs on the blace's edge lined up nicely so it stays sharp and if kept up, prevents the need to sharpen with something more aggressive like a sharpening stone (or the bottom of a coffee mug in a pinch).
