So a straight razor is the old fashioned, flip out single blade, need to sharpen kind. Not sure if you're intending to refer to that or not. Whereas safety razors are the two-sided head cheap disposable blade kind. I can't talk too much about straight razors, I think they're a bit dangerous without a good amount of practice. Safety razors are fine for below jawline shaving, though you will probably nick yourself a bit until used to it. I use a Merkur 25C and have a beard and I think it's excellent. Rarely nick myself. Could never use electrics or modern disposables effectively, they tended to load up and clog badly.
