I've wet shaved with basic Merkur closed comb DE safety razor for years. I recently decided to buy a Henson AL13 Medium razor since it was supposed to be better for sensitive skin. I got a medium because I only shave once a week so I figured I would need a more aggressive shave.
I regularly nick myself and get little cuts (especially around my adams apple) with the Merkur. While I haven't gotten any cuts with the Henson it does give me slight razor burn afterward. I was wondering between the two problems if one issue is a better end result (though neither is perfect), nicks/cuts or razor burn?
I'm not an expert at all so maybe some of this could be solved with a different blade (I use Astra's) or technique?
