A double edged safety razor isn't always as safe as it could be. The one I've just finished using weighs in a 5 ounces. I managed to nick my lower lip in the shaving process because of an unexplained affliction to my right wrist that's developed over the last 6 hours. Limited movement of the wrist without pain, ergo limited control of the positioning of a heavy blade razor.
Other than that, with a fresh "Derby" blade, it glides through the beardy bits with ease.
@stueytheround Here's a fair description of the processI use: https://d.pr/n/9KDnna
@peemee I knew I liked you! A shave should be a treat not a chore. I've used a Gilette safety razor for about 15 years now.
