Straight razor is old technology.
Safety razor is newer.

but both are classic (none of that plastic shiyat)

That's a shavette, not a real straight razor.

I use the safety razor, however when I get older and my beard grows more and I will bet more options, I will learn how to use the straight razor

I am not a big fan of those shavettes that stick the razor between two pieces of metal and have a third piece fixing it all in place. The whole setup ends up very thick and limiting your control of the geometry. Much prefer shavettes that slide the blade in, where its closer to a real straight razor (like those from Dovo, Feather and the newer offerings from Boker).

What's a good beginner blade? After all I don't want to look like I come back from World War 3. They have to have different sharpnesse's like a knife.

If I’m in somewhat of a hurry, I’ll use a safety razor and then finish detailing with the straight razor. When I have more time to myself, it’s when I only use the straight razor. Both razors are good, but I use the straight razor for the best shave possible.

This particular straight razor is called a shavette. A shavette has a changeable blade as the one depicted. A true straight razor requires regular stropping & an occasional honing to remain sharp.

Besides that, these folks know what their talking about.

I move to a safety a couple of years ago and was a great improvement to cartridge ones.

Now I considering an shavette but honestly, I wonder if its really such and improvement to switch, or just a cool factor. I don't care about cool but practicality and the safety just works so...

A straight is damn cool but the maintenance is keeping me out. I just start learning to sharp kitchen knifes so I don't think I had any skills to proper sharp something like that. 😅😅😅

[waynejohnson]

That ain't a straight razor. Epic fail.

[richallan]

I would say for a 3 min video it was pretty good other than that being a shavette and not a straight razor as pointed out above, and there are differences between the use of those.

Being someone who uses a straight razor to shave, and have done for years, I would however disagree that cutting yourself is easier with a straight, in reality there are two ways to cut yourself with a straight, a lot of excessive pressure, or slicing on the horizontal, and I can tell you from experience, doing those things with a double edge will cut you just as easily.

Diamond blades laser razor sharp yes is one thing

[Moccalocca]

I bought a safety razor for my beard and regret is a little. So i want to get a straight razor now

[timothyberg]

What is better, vanilla or chocolate pudding, Italy or Spain? I love clickbait. Especially when dealing with straight razors.

[fglg]

okay question, I have a very fine beard, just on my chin really, I use a normal cartage and the blade lasts me months, is it worth me going the route of a straight or safety razor?

[Daveortiz]

Thank you for the input on the difference between a straight & safety razor!

[sandybanjo]

I purchased an EZ Blade Stainless Straight Blade with the regular blade (not razor blade). Works

[thoranevans]

that's not a straight razor, it's a shavette.
