That mentality is why I use a safety razor. Buy one and you'll only spend a few dollars a decade on shaving blades and have a better shave. A lot of things in life are useless fluff that we only do because companies want us to do it since it's profitable.

I shave mine with a safety razor. Knobbliness of head is probably a factor though!

I have a mole on the top of my head, multi blade razors glide over it, my safety razor is how i found out I had it: sharp pain and suddenly being covered in so much blood I could smell it.

So yeah knoblliness should not be overlooked.

I bought a Leaf Razor from an EU reseller about a year ago now and it was a game changer for head shaving with safety razor blades.

The head of the handle pivots so it's very difficult to cut myself with it accidentally unlike the regular handle I was using before.

I'm hesitant to share a link because I don't want to seem like a shill for a company I don't know much about but just wanted to say there are options out there!
