Hello there!
Last week I just got my Cadet OC. It's a nice razor, like the longer handle compared to my Merkur HD and the weight.
With my HD i get BBS after 3 passes and a light fourth touch-pass, with almost zero burn even after applying alum which made me able to shave every day finally reaching the "zone", enjoying perfect shaves.
With the Cadet i looked for a smoother shave and closer, as the teeth allowed more contact of the lather and closer "blade hair" relation and blah blah, but after shaving 4 times all what i got is razor burn! I loaded it with my best performing blade, the Personna Med. Today I went extra careful and managed to decrease the burn, but last day when applying the alum i hated it and made me remember my early DE shaving days!
What am i doing wrong with this razor compared to my HD? Tried blade angle, pressure, the only remaining thing is changing blade which im doing on saturday, but my MED was one of the smoother blades in my stock.
