Don't cut yourself.
But keep some Styptic on hand for when you do.

The Weck Sextoblade was an early safety razor if you use the comb-like safety attachment. If you don't have the slide-on attachment the razor will work like an ordinary frameback. If you are using the safety guard, just remember to keep the guard next to your skin while you shave. It keeps the blade at the proper angle and doesn't allow it to cut deeply. You may get a nick, but nothing that you wouldn't get from your DE. The Sextoblade can be stropped and honed just like any razor and, with proper care, one of those disposable blades can last for years.
