I am absolutely blown away by the safety razor! I have never used a safety razor before in my life, I've always used the plastic cartridge, the 5 blade razors. Well, that's an absolute waste of money! And the plastic, ridiculous! I decided to venture into the magic of the internet and explore and find out everything I could about safety razors. That being so, I found myself in the checkout ordering my first ever SR. I was shocked by the amount of plastic razors are thrown away in a year, hence I decided I do not want to partake in that. The blades are easily recyclable and the razor can last you years and years. Assembling the SR itself is very easy, and with a bit of caution, you will not cut yourself (mind you, I managed to cut myself with a butter knife!). Then I applied the shaving soap with the brush on a small area and did a test run. It just glides, no need for pressure, and you kinda figure out the angle as you go (generally it's about 30 degrees). I finished my legs in a few minutes without any cuts at all, and there is no appearance of bumps, skin irritation or razor burn. How amazing! The razor itself didn't slip and I could hold it easily with wet hands, would be more practical if the handle was slightly longer, but it does not affect the effectiveness of the blade. I definitely recommend the Feather blades, the sharpest on the market, they give a really close, smooth shave. I definitely recommend to anyone to ditch the single-use plastic razors and invest in a safety razor, it is a bit more expensive but it ends up being cheaper in the long run!
