Thanks! I used a Derby for my first two shaves. I’ll try a GSB and see what happens.Derby Extra is a nice blade, one of my top 3. I've not had any issue with face shaves and from what I gather you havent either. They're very smooth and quite mild, therein may lie your problem.
For heavier, more dense growth, such as head shaving from what I gather from a few members, the blade just may not be up to the task. I routinely shave my face and neck directly ATG buffing first pass. I can easily do that with a few blades, but Derby Extra, even being in my top 3, isnt one of them.
You might try stepping up your blade choice, but I'm not sure I'd reach for a Feather just yet. A Polsilver or Astra SP would be a good blade to try.
