I’ve always heard dull blades are the most dangerous, but whenever I nick myself shaving my legs it’s always with a new blade. Does the dull blade thing only apply to kitchen knives and not razors?

They are more dangerous as they don’t cut cleanly, it’s more of a jagged cut which is harder to stitch back together. It’s easier to cut yourself with a sharp blade. It’s more dangerous and difficult to put your skin back together with a dull blade.
