1. Disposables will give you fits if you have facial hair to trim but not remove.
2. Disposables will cut up my face no matter how used with only one brand exception.
3. I need to do ATG and only a straight will allow me to place the blade angle flat against my skin to get close without slicing into my face.
4. I often have to overshave the same area with a disposable to get the last of the whiskers and it results in razor burn.

I just can't get the end result I seek with disposables.

An acceptably close disposable shave always leaves weepers and usually burn.
