      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

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

      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.
