Just a quick note on returning to a blade you've tried before:
I hated my first time with Derby Extra blades.
Hated them. They mauled my face and left me in pain. Horrible things.
Pish.
But that was months and months ago when I was just
learning to wet shave and I was no doubt wielding my Mühle around like a
cartridge razor. Surely I must have perfected my technique by now eh? Look at
the results I've had lately with those Wilkies. That can't be all down to the
blade, I must be learning.
I stuck another Derby blade in my R89 and set about
a two day growth. FFS. More pain, more tugging, more rash. I abandoned the
shave after the first WTG pass. My face was chewed up so badly that I couldn't
even finish my shave with another blade. Night ruined, might as well just go to
bed.
So my second attempt at a Derby blade went much the
same as my first. I hated my second time with Derby Extra blades. Hated them.
They mauled my face and left me in pain. Horrible things. Pish.
I may be learning how to shave, but
sometimes I never learn...
