I wear a beard, and I try to keep the lines tight. I use a clipper/trimmer, but for detailing, using a Gillette Fusion is really tough. Straight razor I figure will make it easier to line up.
I was wondering if this is a mistake and I don't know what I'm in for leading to lots of cuts. Also wanted to know whether I should go with a blade or one of the ones with inserts. Brand recommendations would also help.
Thanks!
....I have an emergency shaving situation.
When you say straight blade, you mean a replaceable? Or a blade that needs honing and sharpening?
I discovered it because of one of those storms from a few years ago.
Google it. I'm not the only one. Closest shave ever.

If you're cheap it would seem up your alley. You'd never have to buy another razor blade.

With double-sided "safety razors", I get 100 blades for like 10 dollars. The initial investment costs more than a plastic gilette blade, but after that, it's much less costly.
It took me hours to convince my wife I was not trying to kill myself.
My face and neck looked like a dartboard
tried a couple more times after that and similar results.
it was great for edges though.
