Because you can shave quickly and casually. With a safety razor you have to shave carefully and slowly or you cut the fuck out of your face.
I can shave quick. The trick is you do it after a hot shower or use really hot water. I'm not careful at all anymore and I never cut myself.
You might be thinking of a straight razor, which I gave up on since the double edge is better in every way but cool factor.
