I used a safety razor for the last two years or so. The shave quality is nowhere even close to even a cheap three blade razor. Cheap, but you can get (almost as) cheap and a much better shave with just about any modern alternative.

The proper way to shave using a safety razor:

It takes a tad longer than a three blade razor, but I've always had closer and better shaves.
I've tried disposables, cartridges, electric and the safety razor and I'd rate safety razors better than all of them.
Not a bad tutorial. Also check out mantic59 on youtube, aka the Shave Tutor.
Funny, I find the shave quality of a safety razor to be far superior to any of the cartridge blades (Like the Gilette Fusion). My shaves are super smooth and close.
However, I still use a my Fusion daily, since it's so fast and efficient. With a safety razor it takes time to lather up and get a proper shave.

I just used my brand new Harry's 4 blade razor, and I gotta say, it just blows away my safety razor, in every category, except it doesn't get the mustache hairs that are really close to my nose, so I used my safety razor to get those.

I've had just the opposite experience, and the multi-blade razors really irritate my skin.
