The pre-conceived notion that SR's are dangerous, and you'll probably cut yourself badly, is very prevalent. Decades ago, when I used a DE, that's what I was given by my Dad, I used to get cuts all the time. It was a regular thing back then to come out of the bathroom with a couple of little tags of toilet paper stuck to your face to stop the bleeding.
Then spent many years with the cartridges and after a great barber shave, decided that I was going to do that as well. Why not?
Now, I can splash cold water on my face, lather up, shave and get a DFS and be done in under 10 minutes...almost as quick as with the old Mach 50,000!
When time permits, a shave parade is a lot of fun, hot shower, all the pre- and post ritual, use one of my nicer razors, and I'm chillaxed for the rest of the day....
