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.
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 still use safety razors. I get all excited when I’m at a bathroom that I can slip one in the wall.
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.
Since I’ve started cleaning my blades I find I don’t have to change them all that often though
What’s different about shaving with one as opposed to a regular disposable?

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