Thread: Frustration

It isn't the same as a sample pack, but if you go here they sell tons of different kinds of blades, and last time I checked you can buy any number of packs you want, it it just slightly more expensive than buying in bulk.

I think we all need to remember that, to coin a phrase: " One man's meat is another man's poison".
I get good shaves with a Merkur razor and the sometimes maligned Merkur blades. I think that some of us straight users use a DE from time to time for speed & convenience.
It probably comes down to technique, preparation and most importantly, your beard type, skin and facial features.
