I have a lot of thick facial hair and the disposable razors just weren't cutting it. I've switched to a straight razor with a DE for travel and when I'm in a hurry, and the difference has been amazing. The area on my neck where I used to constantly have ingrown hairs is finally smooth and happy.

I think there are four issues at play: - attention to shaving technique tends to be much less with a disposable, possibly due to ignorance - shaving cream from a can does a bad job of lubricating the face - disposable razors are poorly designed, with a gap between the razor and the skin, and are easily clogged with cut hair - the sharpness of disposable razor blades is essentially unknown
