 Cool Tool: Merkur Classic Razor
I believe the safety razor causes less irritation than the Mach 3, because of the quality of the safety razor blade itself.
Furthermore the multiple blade design of the cartridge razors is actually ineffective--the spacing between the blades gets clogged with hair and shaving cream very quickly into the stroke, seriously comprising the efficiency of the higher blades.
Another reason is that the cartridge razors are designed to encourage the user to press harder to get a closer shave (not the case with the safety razor).

 How to get that perfect shave - Today, Weekend Edition - MSNBC.com
A DE razor is the kind that takes a single, disposable razor blade, and it’s the same type of razor that your father, your grandfather, Cary Grant, Lee Marvin, JFK, and John Wayne used, and in the opinion of many shave-o-philes, the classic DE wipes the floor with any modern razor.
DE razors are also the best choice for African-American men, many of whom suffer from “shave bumps”, which occur when their tougher whiskers are cut too aggressively by modern mutli-blade razors, causing them to grow back underneath the skin and turn into ingrown hairs.
But if you don’t want to shave with a razor that’s got a half-century under its belt, new safety razors are available that bring back the spirit of the classic Gillette adjustable DE razors, which many shaving connoisseurs consider the finest double-edge razor ever made.
