I have been wetshaving for decades. Over the years I have tried all manner of razors. Probably the most aggressive was the ATT H1. I liked the razor but found it too much work. Over the last several years I have shaved exclusively with GEM razors with the Blackland L2, my weapon of choice. In my opinion it is a moderately aggressive razor. I could scoot around my face pretty much carefree. Great 2 pass shave. No muss, no fuss, no blood.
Recently I acquired a Vector. I have appox 10 shaves with it, half with the Schick Proline and half with the Captain Titan Mild. I am having a terrible time with it. I have very dry skin and despite a very light touch, I end up with at least a half a dozen weepers every time I shave. Not cuts. Not nicks. Just the razor decapitating the small imperfections in my dry skin. Not fun!!
I am looking for advice. Other blades to try? Do the ProGuard blades really work? Technique advice?
Thanks in advance.
