Newbie with blade sampler: which one?

[statius]

Hi. I have the following blades in a sampler pack: Feather, Astra, Merkur and Derby. Which one should I try first for my very first Wet Shave? I assume the Feathers are for later when I have more experience? Which of the others should I try?

Most newbies don't have good success with the Merkurs. Of the choices, I would say start out with the Derby.

I would say the Derbys, then the Astras. You may like the Merkurs, too. Don't go strictly by what others tell you. Use the information for what its worth, but then judge for yourself. Not everyone has the same experiences with the same blades.

Most importantly, enjoy the shave!!
