Now, they're still not things that you would give to a child, but the point is, we don't just throw our hands up and say 'razors will never be safe, why bother?' but instead, we try to make them safer. Doing nothing because we can never achieve perfect safety is reckless and uncaring.

- function_seven 5y agoThey nick surface skin. They don't sever arteries like a straight razor could. They don't accidentally slice your jugular. A safety treadmill would--instead of sucking a child underneath and pinning them--give them a friction burn or pinch their arm. It's a guard. Add a guard around the roller and you eliminate this scenario.
- bagacrap 5y agowe made safety razors because they're safer for the user's face, not because they're safer for children to play with. Both safety razors (or the replacement blades) and straight razors must be kept from children.
