I used to have a straight razor but rarely shaved with it. I much prefer the single-blade safety razor. I've had the same Merkur razor since my father gave it to me 40+ years ago.
Do you prefer a safety razor purely for convenience or quality of shave?

Both, actually.
A good safety razor (with a fresh blade) gives a far superior shave than a disposable razor.
One packet of blades lasts me a lot longer than a pack of disposable razors, so it's also more affordable.
I meant actually straight vs safety razor, I already used a safety razor so I know they are decent.
This is the way.
Straight razor for real men; safety razor for a practical man.
