I'm not trans, but looking to save y'all some money. Stop buying those expensive cartridge razors and invest in a nice safety razor. The razors are dirt cheap and the cut is damn close to a cartridge cut. I'll never go back to Gillette again!

Ooh I think that's the same reason my hair refuses to shave with anything, I should try one of the foil ones

I'm ignorant, are you more prone to accidental cuts? How is it with razor burn and ingrown hairs around, you know, sensitive areas?

to help with razor burn, sanitize your razor with 70% rubbing alcohol

I was more prone for my first few shaves as my skin adjusted to the different blade, but I don't really get cuts anymore unless I reuse the blade too many times. If you get a decent safety razor you can adjust the angle of the blade for your preferred comfort. I haven't noticed any more ingrown hairs vs a cartridge razor.
