Derby Extra 2: Electric Boogaloo


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...
