A safety razor is a shaving tool designed to provide a close shave while minimizing the risk of cuts and nicks. It features a protective guard that helps keep the blade at a safe distance from the skin, making it easier for beginners to use. Unlike disposable razors, safety razors use replaceable blades, which can be more economical and environmentally friendly.
Many people prefer safety razors for their precision and the quality of the shave they provide. They come in various styles, including the classic double-edge razor and the more modern adjustable razor. Using a safety razor can also lead to less irritation compared to traditional cartridge razors.
