Hi, I am new here. I currently use Edge cartridge razor. I shave in the shower with Aveno gel soap and shave 2 or 3 times a week.
When browsing a deal forum, I came across a thread about a deal on a razor available on Aliexpress. After reading the post and realizing I had $3 credit available there, I told myself why not, so I ordered the Ming shi 2000s for less than $9 shipped to my door.
I made the purchase based on money I could end up saving hoping that comfort would not be an issue, as I tried several different affordable cartridges razor without success in the past, including the Dorco’s Pace 3/4/5/6 as they where way too aggressive on my sensitive skin.
After several weeks, I almost forgot about it when I received an email telling me it passed custom and I should receive it in 2 days.
After reading a little bit, I found out a whole lot about wet shaving including this web site and realized I could not simply use this new razor in the shower with the same soap.
I placed an order for an Omega brush starter kit that comes with soap, a stand and a 10065 red brush. I also ordered a sample pack of blades on Amazon.
Considering I am a new to wet shaving, is there any particular order I should try to use my blades?
Here is the list of blades I should have on hand when I receive the razor:
10 X Dorco Prime
5 X Derby Premium
5 X Astra SS
5 X Astra SP
5 X Ming Shi
5 X Feather
5 X 7o’clock SE(yellow)
5 X 7o’clock SS(green)
5 X Gillette Platinum
5 X Voskhod
