I have found through experience that some blades leave a odd burning sensation on my skin. Is this a reaction to the blades coating?
Have others experienced this?
Thanks

I’ve would never touch another Derby blade.
My first guess is that it may be the coatings.
Two suggestions:
1. Keep a list of the blades that you react to.
2. Compare some of the SS vs coated blade blade pairs, for example Astra SP vs SS or Shark SC vs SS.
It may be possible for a coating to cause that but I think more likely it's that the blade is a little rough or maybe sharper than your skin likes. It could even be that you're using a little pressure or using a fairly heavy razor that's applying some pressure even if you're not. I'd try a slightly less sharp blade and be very careful with the pressure and see if it gets better. I've also found alum is an excellent way to evaluate the smoothness of blades. I look for blades that give me shaves where I don't feel any feedback from the alum at all after my shave. It's easy for me to recognize a blade that's a little rough now.
Not necessarily. Lord Platinums give me irritation, Lord Super Chrome and all the Lord Stainless varieties don't.Platinum coating seems to be not as irritating. Some stainless blades even give bad reactions, I’ll experiment.
Thanks for the advice.
