Ever had blades suddenly irritate

[Mad Man]

Been using Feathers almost exclusively since January in an 89, slim and fatboy. Love 'em twice then chuck 'em out. Smooth and sharp.

Suddenly the last few shaves gave me irritation - not bumps, just burn. No new products in rotation, no new brushes or razors. Just to be safe I bowl lathered for a change thinking it could be brush burn and loaded a new feather - same result, burn!

Today I loaded a gillette goal (got them cheap last year in Bali). Not as smooth or sharp, but no burn.

Has anyone else had this happen with a favourite blade brand?

This happens to me from time to time. I think for me it's just a flare up of skin problems that's the culprit.

It could be that you became 'sloppy' in your shaving with products you thought you knew inside out. After a couple of shaves with a different blade you could be over it and enjoy your Feathers again.

Yep. I've decided to stay with diffo blades for a while: I reckon I just got a bit too heavy on the pressure.
