answer:Disposable razors cut me much more frequently than pricier reusables. I only have to shave twice a week, so I can use mine for a while. It really depends on how coarse your hair is. I know that this is a really horrible way to tell, but usually, when I get nicked, I know that the razor is dull and it’s time to switch. Have you tried an electric razor? I am pretty happy with mine.
