I currently use the Merkur Twin Blade razor with Merkur blades.

Somehow, I can't bring myself to get a DE razor because I'm
concerned I'll cut myself. But this one looks interesting and I was
wondering if it would be similar to the Twin Blade razors in terms
of safety.

If you fear cutting yourself you won't. Just get a somewhat mild razor and use no pressure. Also don't go xtg/atg on your first try.

Typically people are more concerned cutting themselves with a straight vs a de! :001_tongu

I've thought seriously about getting a de but decided not to as I'd feel guilty that I'm "cheating".
