re: How does a straight razor compare to a safety razor for shaving?

Safety razor and prefer Merkur blades for my beard type. It is important to buy multiple type blade sample packs and try them out, initially. I had skin irritation problems with all other type shaving, cartridge, electric, etc. For daily shaving I do one pass, if I want a really close shave I'll do two passes. Invest in a good brush and quality shave cream/ soap and aftershave. I change out blades at least once a week.

Without question the very best I've used to date. The slickness on your face after even one pass just sets up nicely for a second pass. I don't worry about touching up here and there without lather after making a first pass with it. It still leaves plenty of protection on your face.

Good advice. You may have given it in another thread. I had been using the merkur blades and decided to try some others. Turns out the Personnas really work well for me and last longer than the Merkur blades. I change blades every 2 shaves.
As for the OP, I have tried single blade at the barber shop and it isn't for me.
