Safety Razor, what do I need to think about?
Safety Razor, what do I need to think about?
My big stack of cartridge razor blades has just run out and I'd like to replace it with something less wastefull, and from what I hear a safety razor gives a better shave too.
From what I can see there's no big difference beyond personal preferance on ergonomics, but are there any brands to avoid? Any well regarded? Can I just get anything? Anything I might not have thought about?

Not what you're asking, but have you tried sharpening your cartridge blades? I've been using the same store brand 3 blade cartridge for a few years now, just stropping by swiping it in reverse up my arm 10-20 times right before shaving in the shower. Shave is close, no razor burn. Considering you're concerned about waste, zero waste in a few years seems worth mentioning.
