New But Learning Fast

[little Big feather]

Friday I opened a Derby to give it a try..I thought it was a little rough...Saturday I felt the burn...Sunday I did it again
Face was really burned. I want to be fair , so I stuck it out for one last try today. Half way thru...F*%##@!#@!!
Conclusion : I can not use DERBY.

Ah! but a hurried conclusion. Don't throw the tuck or lot away yet, acquire more razors and you will find an amenable match. I'd suggest a Superspeed.

I have yet to encounter a blade that I cannot use with one exception from my earlier discovery stage, a bad forgery of Shark Super titled "Super Shave" (they had the likeness of a shark on the pack, fooled me once)

I don't know what a superspeed is. I use a Feather All Stainless. I tried a Parker and it cut me to pieces .

Many is the shaver who once felt he couldn't get a good shave with so-n-so razor or blade, only to find out over time that it was his technique (pre- and post-shave included) that was at fault all along.

I was this exact way with Derby blades when I started. Couldn't get a good shave with Derby, always got a good shave with Astra SP. Blamed it on the Derby blades at first. A few months later, with much improvement under my belt, I tried the Derby blades again and magically found them to work just fine for me. Nothing changed but my technique.

Sometimes it's the Indian, not the arrow.

That Feather razor is considered somewhat mild. In my experience, mild razors don't pair well with mild (not too sharp) blades.
