In the spring, I use the scythe every day for 20 minutes or so.

I have a long grass blade, and a short bush blade. I’ve been able to kill off blackberries and turn a fair sized area into yard just using the scythe. It’s great, meditative exercise, and it’s also an effective tool. I actually don’t own a mower.

But I did buy a quality one from a company that hand makes them, and takes your measurements to make sure the snath fits your body.
