For me, safety razors are the only type that don't cause me issues after shaving. I always used to get rashes or irritated skin whenever I shaved until this razor.

My solution is just to not shave :P

Let the legs go wild

Oddly I have the opposite problem with safety or even the regular multi blades. My facial hair is so thick(like the folical size, not density) that I dull the blades mid shave. So I have to use either a straight razor or an old fashioned safety razor( if this is what you're referring too then nvm) that uses double edged razors. They retain an edge for multiple shaves and substantially cheaper.

I thought they were talking about DE. It would be kinda weird to state everyone needs it otherwise

Yup, talking about the double-edged safety razors you're talking about ๐Ÿ‘Œ

Modern razors blades are possibly the biggest scam of all time. Safety razors (double-edge razors) are far superior.
