Single edged razor is much easier and more comfortable to hold onto and safer to use, since it's made to be hand held instead of attached to a handle.

I pondered that very issue in an essay I wrote about the PSK in my blog. I did not really come to any conclusions, despite writing two whole paragraphs about it.
