Anybody here shave with a safety razor?

I've heard they do a pretty good job, but I really need some first-hand advice before I commit.

I went back to an old safety razor for a while, but honestly

it did not shave as close or as smooth as the newer multi-blade razors, so I gave up and went back to the new technology. Apparently there are a lot of people who feel the old safety razors work better for them, however.

I use a mug and shaving soap with it. Nothing like the nice warm lather you get from a badger bristle brush, Col Conk's almond shaving soap and hot water.

a boar-hair or badger-hair brush. Sorta takes the misery and monotony out of shaving.

I used to borrow my dads way back. But I saw last week
that the triple and quad blades are really worse for
your face and skin.
When the 3rd and 4th blades pull the hair, the rest of
the hair shaft goes back below the skin level thus causing
ingrown hairs.
Only single or doubles from now on

They'll give you a close shave, but there's a learning curve.
Still, the move to see just how many blades one can put in a single "cartridge" has exceeded the ability to get a real shave. I had used a 2-blade system for years, missing the 3 and 4-blade eras, but finally delved into 5 blades when my "Sensor" handle gave up the ghost. I gave that up and found a place online to get new handles and have happily gone back to 2 blades.
(note: having a beard, I'm only trimming here and there, and just didn't get much satisfaction from 5 blades on the throat).

I can't do it. A Fusion blade lasts me, at least, a month.
