Literally close to a factor of 100 cheaper than disposable blade razors. It’s flat out crazy anyone shaves any other way.

And for 40 bucks you can buy a shave ready vintage straight razor and never need to buy another razor again. Then, spend 20 bucks on an ok strop to keep it shave ready for a year.

In the other hand, the copays for emergency room visit after you slice half your face off add up very quickly.

My grandfather used a straight razor for years, and every time he ended up with sticking plaster somewhere on his face. It’s just so easy to get an angle wrong somewhere, and so fast to slice–and incredibly aggressive compared to almost all safety razors–that it’s not worth it for most people.

I’ve used one for years and never cut myself. It’s super easy to use if you just use common sense
