Thread: Fourth type of shaving, should I make the switch?

If I'm cutting myself with a safety razor, I'm I asking for a trip to the hospital with a straight razor? (Only sort of kidding there...)

Straights are no more dangerous than DE's; and as Old School said, Many will cut themselves less often with a straight. You'll be more careful with that exposed blade on your neck, than you would with the head of a hefty safety razor. A light touch and a little caution leads to less cuts and a closer shave.

Good luck, have fun, and welcome to the forum!
