I was going to say, I feel confident using my safety razor for that. I prefer a duller “training wheels” brand of blades that takes multiple passes for a close shave, but I’ve never nicked myself with them.
Never heard of OneBlade, but from their site it seems to have all of the advantages of a safety razor, except for the lack of blade brand variety. It’s funny that they found a way to make proprietary blades that are 2-4 times as expensive as the normal razor blades I’ve seen, but even then they are still 100x cheaper than cartridge heads.
Duller blades are way more unsafe. Having a very sharp blade is much safer. Just hold your scrote taught with one hand and run the blade lightly across the hairs but not the skin on your first go to shorten the hairs and rinse the blade then go across the skin lightly.
Dull blades lead to applying more pressure to make the same cut as a sharp blade. More pressure means more chance of a deeper cut if you slip.
