I've recently returned to DE. I did it in the 70s and 80s where the blade choice was Gillette, Schick, and Wilkensen Sword. Used the Old Spice mug with a boar bristle, and a Gillette adjustable.
I went to a Mach 3 with a side detour a couple years ago. Got a DE razor and 5 different blades. The razor and I never agreed, and back to Mach.
This Christmas, I got a Vikings Blade Emperor, and a huge sample pack of blades 16 different blades, and 9 settings on the razor.
If I can't find something that works out of this lot, I'll give up.
First blade was a Derby extra at setting 1. Not a great shave, and the face needed some moisturizer.
Today, I did it at 2 and adjusted my angle a bit. Better.
Even if I hate it in the end, 100 blades should carry me for at least a year.
