Sorry to bring this up again, I know it's been posted countless times but now I'm confused.
A lot of people have said load the blade so that it's straight with the teeth on the bottom bar, which is what I've been doing.
But I've just discovered this thread- http://badgerandblade.com/vb/showthread.php?t=87841&highlight=slant+aggressive that says to have the blade straight with the razors head
Anyone know what method is correct?
My first shave with the 39c was the best shave I ever had, but I've had 2 shaves since then (1 a second shave with the same Merkur blade) and 1 more with a Tesco blade, and they were quite possibly the worst shaves I've ever had (lots of nicks and a load of burn)- not sure wether that's because my stubble was shorter than the first time, or if it's the blades, or if it's the loading of the blade.
Thanks for any help
