Ok, gents, I'm still out of town so I'm exclusively using a DE right now. My vintage Gillette Super Speed arrived today and I'll be taking it for a test drive a little later to compare it to the Merkur HD.

Here's my question: You know how the non-sharp ends of the razor blade stick out beyond the edges of the razor? Is there a razor or a blade where this won't happen? Perhaps a wider razor head? Perhaps a narrower blade? I'm sure this isn't an issue with you gentlemen, but it's a little uncomfortable (not to mention scares the heck out of you) when those edges drag across your skin (if you know what I mean).

I figured if anyone can answer this question, it's you all.

As always, thank you so much.
