This blade is just not very good. It does offer little irritation, but at the cost of a very poor shave. I typically get a week out of my regular blade (Personna blue). I got 2 not very good shaves from this blade. It left behind a lot of stubble and there just didn't seem to be any number of passes that would cure it. After I was done with my typical 3 pass shave I had to go over the same areas with a cheap Personna twin blade throw-a-way razor to remove the stubble. You know, the grey ones you buy at the dollar tree? I should have just shaved with it instead. I cannot recommend this blade on any level.
