Hello Gentlemen,
I would like to share something, a experience of mine, which i think is something that could really help other wetshavers everywhere. So please consider reading this to the end! I have been wetshaving for over two or maybe three years now, and fell in love with it from the very first time. My first real shaver was the King c Gillette and after that i got a beautiful Muhle R89. I always used the king c gillette blade and always had buttery smooth shaves. Then maybe half a year ago something happened at a frequent basis, not always but often enough for me to notice. All of a sudden my shaves became really rough and would really hurt me against the grain, then all of a sudden the next shave was completely fine again! First i thought that maybe it depends on the state of my skin, or maybe how much growth i had on that day, then i thought my prep is inconsistent and so on and so forth. But nothing i could do changed the fact that one shave would be nice and the next horrible rough. So you know what, i bought a mach 3 again! Even though the mach 3 would tugg trough my beard, i endet up with a passable shave without pain and irritation. Now, back then when i started, everything was better when shaving with my DE, so i couldn’t believe that! And after three weeks of mach 3 shaving i used my Muhle with the king c gilltte blade again. First stroke and there it was again, painful kind of scratchy feeling, i really thought my DE days are over and continued through that shave. Now when i came to the third pass, against the grain, it would not even go through my mustache area without pain! In that moment i stopped and thought to myself that this can not be normal and changed the blade to another king c gillette blade that i’ve used in a past shave, and which i remembered being a great smooth shave. And there it was, smooth! Right there and then i realized that all the time the king c gillette blade was the reason for all that trouble! Then it came to me that one pack would be sharp and smooth and the next would be dull and scratchy! I am completely convinced that there must be something going on with the quality control now, or they were much better produced when they first launched on the market. I have ordered a lot of diffrent blades online: Nacet, silver blue, rubi, feather, permasharp, 7 o’clock yellow and green, and went trough packs and packs of them and every single one was flawlessly amazing! My new favorite blade is the Nacet which is the best blade i’ve ever tried. Why am i telling you all of this? Bevor doubting yourself and your shaving skills, look at those blades man and try another, see if it solved the problem, it sure did for me!
