How many blades from a brand should I try before I determine if the razor blade is right for me or not? I'm new to DE shaving and have a number of different blades to try but I am wondering how many chances I should give a particular blade before I eliminate it. So far I've used Merkur, Derby, and 7 0'clocks (yellow). Merkurs seem ok, but the Derby really chewed up my face. I used it for three days with little improvement. Now, I'm hesitant about trying a second Derby blade, but do you think I should try more than one blade before I eliminate it?
Also, real NOOB question here, but is there a "top" or "bottom" when inserting a razor blade? I don't see any indication but maybe I'm just really being obtuse.
Thanks for the help!
