Kemper now:
MJ is right, his young whiskers most likely don't require a Mach 3; 
however, his young upper-lip might appreciate it.

A disposable razor, especially single blade, will cut/tear more 
easily skin especially young, soft skin.  

There are double blade disposable razors.  But again, I'm not a 
fan.  MJ, what about a Gilette Sensor?  The original.  The Turbo 
version is a wast of money.  It's a double bladed wonder!
