Im not a big fan either, quite sharp but a little rough for my face.. heaps of people love them though
. But I swear I saw the edge of the Nacet was ground uneven...if you looked at the blade from the flat side the edge looked like a wave. Maybe it was just my eyes playing tricks on me.
Just received a 100 from Jordan. Took about 3 weeks but worth it.
I'll admit I don't know much about DE shaving...yet! But I know this much. Blades (of any kind, not just razor blades) are so YMMV that personal reviews are almost worthless. Almost. Like movie critics, you almost have to find someone who likes what you do, for the same reasons, and go from there. Your Nacets, my 7 o'clock, it doesn't matter if 2/3 of the world loves them. If they don't work for you, they don't work for you. Nothing wrong with that. It's why there's like a million different blades out there. Get a few more posts and start trading.
I've been using tools of one kind or another professionally my whole life. I'll let this bit of wisdom/experience go. The absolute best tool (screwdriver, table saw, gun, blade, anything you use to do a job) has 3 things in common. It works, you're comfortable using it, and it's close at hand. I have personally given people back Snap-On tools and gratefully picked back up my worn comfortable Harbor Freight versions. No shame from either of us. It's just our milage varying.
After enough time, I grew to like almost all blades. I don't love Derbys or Sharks or Dorcos but I can shave with 'em. I love Nacets.
I disliked and avoided Nacets for a looooong time. For the past two years, I've used Wizamets and Silver Blues almost exclusively, only adding in others from my initial "sampler" stash now and then for variety, but most of the time just grabbing a Wizamet, because it provides me with a good shave in any razor.
But a month or two ago I decided to give Nacets another spin, and discovered that I LOVE them. They sort of require a different technique from me, but now that I've adapted to that blade, it's right up there with the Wizamets. Possibly even better, although I've no reason to adjudicate that one way or the other, I can just continue using and enjoying both of them.
So true, I can't say how many times I've read here where a person with little experience using a double edge says a blade sucks and then later realizes that it actually is an OK cutter. If you haven't been DE shaving regularly for at least a few years I think you need to evaluate your technique -- prep, lather, angles, pressure, grain, etc.Because of their sharpness, Nacet blades do not work for many people, especially those new to wet shaving. However, once your shaving technique is good enough to make the adjustments needed, they are great blades.
