Anybody have any experience using a safety razor? I've thought about switching before and am currently thinking about it again but wanted to get some feedback from others who have made the switch? Thanks.
I use one. It's the closest shave you'll get but it takes some getting used to and you run the risk of nicking yourself. A styptic pencil is a necessity especially when first starting out, but if you prepare your face properly (lots of warm water and a good shave cream - I use a shave butter and always a fresh blade) you'll do OK. They're harder to use than say an Aftra blade with a lubricating strip but like I said, the safety blades give a better shave. Get a good razor (the part that holds the blade) and some alum is a help. Just go slow.
