    The thing that others have said to me that has helped me is that the straight's precived safty issues are simply are marketing ploy. When the double edge was first introduced approximatly a century ago there was a very cold reception to the double dge since it removed the capability to sharpen the blade. Makers had to find a way to sell their new product which was not really doing well since the straight had been doing an excellent job of shaving men for centruries and there was no precived need for anything additional. Makers needed a way to sell their products so one of the ways marketers, even today, have marked a product that there is no precived need for is to go on the attack. Attack your oponent in order to create a need for your product. The safety considerations are simply a biproduct of a century old method of replacing something tht already was great at its job with something that was not really needed by anyone for anything.
