It's complex. First off, you won't get as close of a shave, which is better for your skin. The multi-blade cartridges are designed to tug the hair a bit, meaning it snaps below the skin when the blade passes. Good razor angle on a safety should leave the hair flush. Less irritating than having thousands of tiny spears growing back out of your skin.
That said, your razor may not suit your facial contours well, your technique needs time to improve, and theres no such thing as the "best" blade. I recommend trying feathers, but they will cut you. I'm currently using Astras, which I love but the brand is owned by jewlette, so when I run out I'm switching. Merkurs are supposed to be nice, but I never felt clean shaved after using them. Heard good things about Derby. Trying a sample next time I buy blades.
Israeli steel is shit, across 4 different brands I've tried.
The way I was taught is focus on hair reduction, not hair removal. Let shaving become a meditation, not a chore.
