  Yep I bought the youtube ad safety razor and a blade sample pack, it’s been great. I’m paying 8€ for a pack of 100 blades instead of 3€ per cartridge lol

    I manage to slice my face occasionally with cartridge razors, I fear what I’d do to myself with a safety razor.

      I cut myself more often with a cartridge razor than a safety razor.

      The blades are so dull I push too hard with cartridge to get them to do anything. With the safety razor I just set it on my face with no pressure

      I use a Henson mild and its pretty idiot proof, as long as you use some halfway decent blades, don’t use too much pressure and don’t move it in a sawing (as opposed to scraping/shaving) motion you’ll be fine. I didn’t cut myself once while I was learning to use it, only when I took a flight and had to settle for some shitty blades from the local pharmacy did I get some weepers.

      The one I have doesn’t leave that much blade exposed so it’s about the same risk of cutting yourself as a cartridge razor. Seems like they’ve got this figured out for the most part.

        I do like the idea of using a less expensive solution with less plastic. Maybe I’ll look into it again.
