if you shave at all, look into safety razors

    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.

    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.

    If you're looking into safety razors, get a starter pack with an assortment of blades. I was getting one and I thought it couldn't possibly matter, because for God's sake, it's a sharp piece of metal, how could it? And then I tried a few different brands from the assortment pack, and sure enough one of them worked much better for my face than others (it was Shark, btw).

    I can easily believe that for some people, one brand of blade is no good, while another is perfect, and I'd hate to think that someone tried shaving with the wrong kind and got turned off the whole project from that one wrong sample.

    I did that and landed on feather I think they are called? Great advice though, I remember being really surprised by the difference in cut between brands and all of the included blades were highly rated so I also figure it must make a difference with facial structure and hair makeup of the individuals more than I expected. All the blades worked fine but the one brand was just so much better.

    Bought one, no regrets. It's just 15 bucks in Germany, from a reputable brand, so not even more expensive than regular ones.
