If you can use a disposable razor, you can use a double-edged safety razor. You absolutely don't need "extensive training" to shave with one of these.

I bought one a few years ago and found it to be a much less enjoyable experience than a multi-blade razor. The single blade would pull at my hairs a painful amount before cutting them.
That's a problem with the specific brand of blade you were using, not with single blade razors in general.
As NoGravitas mentioned, that's a problem with the specific blade you were using. You can get blade starter packs that have quite a variety of blades in them, so you can find the one that works best for you. Everyone has different needs, so YMMV, but I use Feather blades.
