So I decided to change the Gilette 7 oclock blade out (that i have only used twice or 6 passes) with a brand new one and the results were supurb, while I still had some irritation from the previous blade the new one worked nicely.
I did change one thing about my routine, since I ran out of the sample pack of Edwin Jagger aftershave lotion, yesterday I dropped by the local pharmacy and grabbed some Nivea "cooling" aftershave balm, and today I used it.. Much to my approval. At first b.c. of my open wounds It burned but it was soon followed by a very soothing cooling sensation which calmed my face down from the shave. Nivea gets 2 :thumbsup:.
Now, Have you guys ever heard of someones beard chewing up a blade in two shaves? Of only a days worth of growth each time?
Should I maybe switch to a sharper blade? if so what would you guys suggest?
Heres whats in my sampler pack from Obie:
Derby Extra
Dorco platinum- Stainless Blade
Astra Superior Platinum
Personna Platinums
Murkur Super Platinum
or should I order up some Feathers?
Thanks guys
