The multi blade disposable ones are superior in every way except cost. The day I went back to them from one similar to the OP was night and day. They are way faster and can get around your chin/curved areas way better than the double edged ones. IMO anyone commenting otherwise is just trying to convince their self’s. I can get a pack of “store brand” disposable heads for 10% the cost of gilette and you can’t tell the difference.

I could probably argue that. Now to be fair, I have a beard. A safety razor is a smoother shave and works better for shaping. I have to take a disposable for my work travels and they do ok especially on the neck. But having gone back and forth between the two, safety razor wins.

Trimming beard and using safety razor for the neck is the way to go.
