It differs state to state but being a barber and cutting hair are not the same thing. A barber’s license is one of a few different ones used to get a job cutting hair. The thing that barbers generally do that others don’t is provide a shave. Uses of a straight razor along with health and safety is part of the training.
For context a full time bachelors student is pulling about 600 hours in one 15 week semester.
You can absolutely use a safety razor. Best haircut place I ever went to for my military cuts did so. If it’s a scissors and buzzers cut, anything over 40 hours is just exploitation.
