    Do they really not make any with a swivel head? That’s a pretty useful feature imo, and certainly would be easy to design for on a safety razor.

      I’d say it’s more of a learning curve question. With a swiwel you get good results most of the time but if it doesn’t work as you need there’s nothing to do. With a solid construction you need to learn to manipulate it efficiently but then it’s that you can use it for any shape of skull. TL;DR convenient ≠ better

        I’ve literally never once had a swivel head razor that didn’t work.

        It really seems like a stretch to make this into a skill issue lol

          Yeah, I have the same leg but it doesn’t hurt

          But yes, it’s better I elaborate: it’s not the razor that may or may not work. It’s the user that may not be suitable for swiwel head and such a user will be equally bad suited for all of them. It’s good if it works for you but not guaranteed to work for others
