If you’re a newbie looking at buying your first razor, you can easily be distracted by all the competing arguments for both types of razors. To make things simpler, allow us to give you the low-down on which one gives the best shave. Because at the end of the day, that’s what we are all after, right? A clean and comfortable close shave.
While having more blades does reduce the amount of force shavers need to use while shaving and can cut more hair on the first pass, a single-blade razor can work just as well with multiple passes. However, if you have sensitive skin and care a little bit about the environment you should definitely switch to a single blade razor or a trimmer. See why below 😉
According to dermatologists, men with curly hair and sensitive skin are particularly at risk for razor bumps, nicks, and ingrown hairs. Long story short, more blades is the equivalent of more skin issues. If you are someone who values a quick shave or has thick enough skin to shrug off some red razor bumps and irritation post-shaves, then feel free to keep shaving with multi-blade razors. Otherwise, your skin will thank you if you make the switch to our single-blade razor or a trimmer. Give it a try via this LINK
