Metal Safety Razor Blade with Stand

I've struck out over and over again with safety razors. I finally relented and looked up safety razors for women as if there should be a difference, but hey... maybe there is and I'm unaware. After all, I'm not shaving a beard so perhaps there's something in that with the angle or whatnot. This one was top rated for women. I even tried to check for female reviewers, and this was so promising.... but... First use, it did seem to do a good job on my leg, at first glance. (I had two razors so pitted them one on the left side, one of the right). Later on, though, after drying off and lotion settling in, my leg felt prickly/grainy which is not typical if I use a good razor. Moving on to shaving the bikini area, I was pretty unimpressed. It did alright. Mind you, my hair is dark, on the thicker side, and generally straight but in areas, it lays flat so it can be harder to get the hair to be picked up with some razors. All in all, though, it did ok in that area though definitely not at all a close shave Underarms were alright, as well, a little better than the legs but still not great, either. I was prepared to give this razor a second shot. I did that today. My razor blade should have been fine. I didn't shave a ton with it last time and if I throw in legs, I usually get about 2 uses (unless my hair was long but it wasn't). The razor did literally nothing. It picked up NO hair. I changed the blade just in case though there's just no way the blade was THAT bad. Still, new blade... absolutely nothing. It didn't shave a thing this time. I tried both my leg and my bikini area. This is a total disappointment for me. If anyone is curious, I did treat it properly. I took it apart, removed the blade, cleaned it all. After that, I patted it dry and set it in a dry area just in case there were any spots still damp that I missed. I let it dry fully disassembled. This thing is going back considering it is nothing more than a paperweight at this point.
