    Safety razors are the best! They are cheap, you can buy a bunch of quality blades for pennies compared to a “Mach 3” or whatever.

    Once you learn how to shave with one, there’s no going back.

      What’s different about shaving with one as opposed to a regular disposable?

        They’re much less irritating to your skin. Disposable razor commercials sold the world on the idea that more blades=closer and smoother shave; when in reality they can really tear up your face and leave razor bumps and ingrown hairs.

        Just crazy cheap. I spent probably 5 dollars on shaving last year. That’s using the most expensive blades made.

        Very cheap, and I find if you leave your beard too long before shaving, hair doesn’t get caught either (it can’t really)

        Cost! The cheap disposable blades are horrible to shave with. The good ones are crazy expensive.

        Good quality safety razors are cheap! I bought a pack of blades and it’s lasted me literally years. It probably cost me $10-15 too.
