Safety Razors

A safety razor holds one double edge blade, and the head decides how much of it meets the skin.

Closed comb razors, such as the Merkur 34C, guard the blade with a solid bar: the usual first razor.
Adjustable razors, such as the Rockwell 6S, let you change the blade exposure as your technique improves, or between face, head and body.
Slants twist the blade to slice through dense, coarse beards. Best once your angle is steady.
Weight and material: stainless steel and brass razors carry more weight and do more of the work; aluminium razors, such as the Henson AL13, are light.

Every razor here takes standard double edge blades. Leaf razors take single edge half blades.
