They're much less irritating to your skin. Disposable razor commercials sold the world on the idea that more blades=closer and smoother shave; when in reality they can really tear up your face and leave razor bumps and ingrown hairs.

Just crazy cheap. I spent probably 5 dollars on shaving last year. That's using the most expensive blades made.

They also don't have plastic housings which is nice from a waste perspective

Very cheap, and I find if you leave your beard too long before shaving, hair doesn't get caught either (it can't really)

Cost! The cheap disposable blades are horrible to shave with. The good ones are crazy expensive.

Good quality safety razors are cheap! I bought a pack of blades and it’s lasted me literally years. It probably cost me $10-15 too.
