Worth The Switch: Are Safety Razors Better Than Other Razors?

Global estimates show that about 75% of men shave daily, with about 85% preferring a wet shave over a dry shave.1 As more men turn to wet shaving, they are also abandoning the usual disposable cartridges or electric razors in favour of traditional razors. They believe that wet shaving tools, like safety and straight razors, provide a closer and better shave.

A wet shave refers to the traditional way of shaving, which uses a shaving brush and soap to keep facial hairs wet. It usually involves a traditional straight razor, but sometimes men opt for the more convenient modern safety razor. In a dry shave, on the other hand, you don’t use water or shaving cream; instead, you use an electric razor or a disposable plastic razor with a lubrication strip to shave directly on your skin.

More men are ditching their disposable razors and taking their shaving routine seriously by choosing wet shaving with a safety razor or any single-edge razor over dry shaving. But, aside from enjoying the benefits of a traditional shave, why are safety razors better?
