    Couldn’t agree more. Far cheaper, easier to clean, blade lasts longer (with proper care), doesn’t tug if you have thicker hair…

    I tried it years ago and never looked back.

      Yeah one sharp blade is 100x better than 5 dull ones. Plus a nice lather and aftershave just makes me feel great. I still use a mach 3 for my undercarriage when I’m showering, but I love my safety razors and weekly shavette clean cut.

      I was getting razor burn from multiblade razors. Safety razors were the best thing ever for me. I no longer shave, but I still keep it just in case I have to remove my glorious beard

        The more blades, the deeper the cut. The first blade pulls the hair up, causing the next blade to cut the hair below the skin level. Causing irritation and ingrown hairs.

        Plastic cartridges need multiple blades, though, cause they can’t hold the blades in enough tension to get a good cut otherwise.
