The prospect of potentially scarring gashes from a straight or safety razor have always put me off on the idea. Even with a disposable double-bladed gilette-sensor excel, the hair on my chin is just so incredibly tough that unless I prepare everything correctly, there is a chance of taking a chunk of skin off. To deal with this I hack away with an electric razor first, then finally attack with razor, since the remaining stubble is much easier to cut without the hair taking the skin along for a ride. Is it possible to use a straight razor or safety razor in a way that leaves no risk of deep cuts?
