Both video reviewers and buyers flagged safety as a weakness—reviewers noted cut risk while buyers reported frequent nicks and cuts even with light pressure.

In their words

I was nervous as this was my first time using a saftey razor. I was so tired of buying expensive pink razors that didn’t cut my course hair well. I started off by using a soap scrub and then used some shave cream with it. I went with the grain and then against. No razor bumps or burn. Took a bit longer because I was scared to cut myself but I didn’t cut myself once. Easy to clean and handle.

I used the Bevel safety razor for nearly six years before finally giving up and switching to another shaving solution. Cut myself at least once out of every four shaves using the Bevel; most commonly for big social occasions. The final straw was cutting myself so deeply before the office holiday party that I had to quickly buy a Santa hat to cover the wound for dinner.
