      The head isn’t on a hinge so you have to manage the angle yourself

        Do they really not make any with a swivel head? That’s a pretty useful feature imo, and certainly would be easy to design for on a safety razor.

          I’d say it’s more of a learning curve question. With a swiwel you get good results most of the time but if it doesn’t work as you need there’s nothing to do. With a solid construction you need to learn to manipulate it efficiently but then it’s that you can use it for any shape of skull. TL;DR convenient ≠ better

            I’ve literally never once had a swivel head razor that didn’t work.

            It really seems like a stretch to make this into a skill issue lol

              Yeah, I have the same leg but it doesn’t hurt

              But yes, it’s better I elaborate: it’s not the razor that may or may not work. It’s the user that may not be suitable for swiwel head and such a user will be equally bad suited for all of them. It’s good if it works for you but not guaranteed to work for others

      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.

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