When I started shaving my face about a year ago, I decided to treat myself and get a safety razor, blades, soap and brush setup.

Just yesterday I used one of those disposable three blade jobbies for the first time since I was 12, and... It was faster, easier, more comfortable, and a way better shave.

Anyone have experience with this? Was I taken in by GQ style nostalgia bait, or will I really get better results from a safety razor with practice?

idk, ive been using a safety razor since I was 18 and I've always had way better results with it than cartridges. Even for shaving my legs now, I get closer and less irritated with a safety, and it's faster because I don't have to constantly unclog it

could just be that it's what I'm used to now, but I feel like in theory you should always be able to get a better shave with a single blade: you cant really control the angle that a cartridge meets the skin, but you can with a safety guard.

still, having to practice shaving sucks
