A few months ago when I switched exclusively to SE injector shaving after 10 years of DE shaving, I got curious about the difference in shaving experience (for me, at least).
I got out my old Merkur 38c barber pole razor and loaded it up with a new blade today.
Now I remember why I switched.
By comparison, while the DE razor was still comfortable and easy to use, it was not nearly as smooth and effective as my Schick L razor, certainly less than I remember…and changing the blade is way more fiddly.
The DE blade definitely felt more flimsy and chattery against my skin and the shave not quite as clean.
Makes the SE blade feel much more firm, effective and controllable.
Happily back to my L tomorrow knowing I made the right choice.
