nacet problem, first shave = bad, rest = excelent ?

[Aevum]

well, i like the czeck gillette collection, the nacet and the silverblues are between my favorit blades, except for the first shave with a fresh blade,

corked or un corked, the first shave is bad, usualy bruising,
but them the fallowing 2-3 shaves are great, and then the blade is discarted,

i really like the blades, but its a shame i have to sacrifice a shave to get some decent perfonace out of them,

I had the same problem with the blues, I haven't tried the other one you mentioned.

I found that if I try them in a different razors they work differently.

I go a Parker off ebay for $9.99 with a whack of 7 am blades. I thought they were horrible but when I tried the 7am blades in a Merkur they gave amazing shaves.

I really like the Nacet blades. I also found no improvement from corking on these blades. However, I had great shaves from the first shave.
