Why is more blades more common on Razors but one is considered better?

3.28K viewsOther

So I’ve seen ones that’s use safety Razors and others that are just built into a handle. But I think there is more blades it is supposed to be safer? But one blade gets you a better shave, but all the commercials show more blades get better shaves.

How does all of this work?

Multiblade razors give me the absolute closest shave, because the razors tug your hair out a little bit before slicing it off with subsequent razors. The hair then retracts under your skin, so it feels super smooth. The problem for me is I get nasty pimples and ingrown hairs from this because your hair is literally under your skin. A single blade safety razor on the other hand gives me a quite smooth shave and I basically never get pimples anymore.

I don’t think multiblade razors are all hype. I have to do at least two passes with a safety razor vs one with a multiblade. For me though the added expense and skin irritation is simply not worth it.
