Hello everbody,
Being in the military I am required to shave everyday. As you can imagine I was more than excited when I learned I could pay 10-20 bucks for 100 blades vice buying those obsurdely overpriced cartridges. I did some research and came to the misguided conclusion that sharper was better. It didn't long to learn that feather was the undisputed champion in the sharpness category. I'm putting these blades into my Feather AS-D2 which is pretty mild.
Now I find myself in a situation where I'm wondering if the blades may be TOO sharp. After about a week I've improved technique and have stopped cutting/nicking myself, but, I'm still getting some pretty bad razorburn on my cheeks. My stubble is pretty thick so I'm sure I need sharp blade still. I'm looking for something a little less sharp but a bit smoother on my face. I've looked around a bit and I'm thinking Astra or Personna.
Face prep includes:
hot shower with biore facewash
hot towel for 3 minutes
DR.Harris/Mitch's Wool Fat
If you have had any similar experience(s) I'd appreciate any advice/input on the matter.
Thanks
