One blade. Less going over the same spot.
Only one edge is in contact at a time. You can see what each pass does and work in short strokes instead of going over the same spot. Standard double-edge replacement blades. No subscription.

THE BLADE, HELD FIRM
The difference is in the hold. CRAN. clamps the blade firmly between two flat surfaces, limiting the flex you see in a classic curved head.
A securely held edge. A more controlled stroke. Let the blade do the work, with light pressure.
Firmly held. From the first stroke to the last.
