Blades cost pennies each and are good for 3-4 shaves. I'll buy a box of blades foe 15-20 dollars and they last for over 6 months.

To my 18.
All my life I've used the cartridge razors. Maybe at some point I'll give the double-edge (safety) razors a try.
I restarted, after about a thirty year hiatus, using a safety razor.
You do have to be more careful, when shaving with the safety razor in comparison to the expensive multiblade razors, to prevent cuts.
The double-edge was what the Marine Corps issued us in 1970. Used them up until 2005 when I started using a high-speed electric to shave my head every day.
Is there any “learning curve” when switching to a safety razor so you don’t slice yourself apart, or to give yourself as effective a shave?
I was using a straight razor for a while, till I forgot it at a hotel during a work trip (stupid of me). Cleanest shave I ever had.
I’m tempted to give this a try. I love the newer 5 blade cartridges, but they gum up on me way too fast. Luckily I only shave my cheeks and throat as I keep a short beard.
Right there with you. I get a lot more than 3-4 shaves out of a blade, though. And a cake of soap lasts 8 months or so.
